Media Alexa Grasso wants more aggressiveness from Valentina "I think if you wanna a belt you have to try to kill your opponent"

[DanDragon Machi]

“She’s always waiting, she’s always going backwards, but I think that if you want a belt, if you want to win a fight you have to go forward, you have to be trying to kill your opponent,” Grasso said.. "You’re not just waiting and waiting."

Grasso also mentioned that she loves the UFC 248 classic between Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Weili Zhang, a five-round back-and-forth technical brawl and 2020’s Fight of the Year, and has always wanted to be involved in fight like that one.

“For the importance of the fight, for the huge event that it is, I mean I just expect that from me and my opponent that we are all there in the fight trying (to go for the finish),” Grasso added.

Alexa's a savage.
This will be a fight worthy of being the first ever W UFC trilogy.

 

[Objectively Correct]

shes not wrong, despite val being more skilled in all her title defenses ive always felt like she lacked killer instinct

 

[PurpleStorm]

Hell yeah man. Alexa knows what's up. You want the belt you gotta take it in no uncertain terms.

Alexa by finish.

 

[Luthien]

That's the right attitude !! WAR ALEXA!!

 

[legcramp]

In b4 Val by rear-naked choke.

 

[Mike]

What a shock the better finisher is trying to bait the point fighter into exchanging.

Dang when you put it like that

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

If you want to be the champ , you have to beat the champ - Wooo

 

[Kwic]

You must finish the champ to become champ.
New rules.
And it would actually be interesting.

Alexa 'Cartel Mindset' Grasso

 

[DanDragon Machi]

I feels like Alexa has a most a greater concern with the show and fans than Valentina does. I'm not telling Valentina is wrong, but seems to me Grasso doesn't just settle for winning, she wants to make history, be remembered and make WMMA more respected. She thinks a lot about the legacy for other girls, good spirit and vision

you have to beat the champ convincingly

you have to take risks when you're the challenger unless you are able to be very superior and dominates your opponent

The champions would just run or don't let the fight happen lol

Val doesn’t have ko power in her fists she has to fight technical to win

 

[SuperNerd]

Val has a much, much higher finish rate. While Grasso's amount of decisions out weights her finishes significantly.

This is like Georges telling Silva to stop moving backwards, because people want excitement and finishes.

awful comparision lol

Silva was a legtim showman, the fact he was moving backwards didn't stop him from having knockouts, on the contrary
If Georges said that it would be just contradictory. Georges was not on the Silva's level in terms of entertainment, so he couldn't to speak that
But it's not only about finishes , there are guys with small finish rate who are very agressuve and exciting
Holloway and Whittaker don't need be among the guys with more KO to be among the more fun

 

[MMAFanCal]

She is right. The Liz Carmouche fight is the best proof of what Alexa is talking about. Valentina will sit and do nothing, if her opponent does not initiate the engagement. That is why she got booed in several of her fights for being extremely boring.

When did this become about being fun? Here is Grasso's comment.

“She’s always waiting, she’s always going backwards, but I think that if you want a belt, if you want to win a fight you have to go forward, you have to be trying to kill your opponent,” Grasso said.. "You’re not just waiting and waiting."

She's talking about winning titles fights, and finishing.

Val has double the KOs, and triple the submissions, and 10 times more world title wins than Grasso. Grasso's amount of decisions heavily out-weights her finishes.
