Does Alexa Grasso have literally any chance at all?

Yeah pretty much what I said. Her best chance is that Shev would suddenly look old.

I'm not a major follower of women's 125 but it seems like they are struggling to find Val serious challengers. If Alexa wins it would be like a Holly Holm / Ronda Rousey upset, maybe even more shocking. The only positives I can find for her are that she has never been stopped by strikes and she is 5 years younger at 29 while Bullet may be past her athletic peak.

But Val is just much better everywhere, both her striking and her grappling are streets ahead. Her qualifications and portfolio of work are incomparable. Alexa has never faced anyone on her level and I see no evidence that she will be competitive in this fight. If she takes Bullet the distance that would be like a moral victory for her. Am I sleeping on this fighter? Or is this really basically a mismatch and a spurious co main event?

It's MMA so anything can happen but those examples aren't really analogous. Shev has shown a weakness to strong and technical grapplers, which were not among any of her past competition at the top level prior to Maia.

Rose is a headcase, no one really won that fight. Nunes-Pena was a real upset for sure. Andrade was clocking in for a check.

Alexa COULD beat Valentina because they're both human beings with physical limitations. But she absolutely does not have the skillset to beat her based on anything we've seen before.

See it’s just like I said
