Grasso's position at number 1 is tenuous

She got a title fight without having to face anyone in the top 5. She does have a win over Barber, but she was green when they fought. I see a lot of tough matchups for her. I wouldn't favor her over Fiorot, Rose, or Blanchfield. Even a Barber rematch is iffy. In that fight Barber essentially just punched air for 2 rounds and then in the 3rd when she actually went for it she was piecing Grasso up. A rematch could go differently with higher fight IQ from Barber.
 
Calm down, she would win against a lot in the top 5, she would also expose that fraud Barber again.

LOL ... Friendly fire check your aim ...

We are on the same side...im just saying T.S is talking like its Tuesday... Its not
 
No less than 2 good W's away from another title shot, these divisions are on the thin side so that's usually how it plays out.

Still has a great win over Valentina, and showed a lot of heart in the rematch.
 
She had a victory on Vivi Araujo who was a top6, so her title shot was not unfair

Valentina is far the worse game/bigger mismatch for her because she needs boxes and defends take down almost at the same time, and she was facing it for three times in a row

Who more could mixed up striking with take downs as Shevchenko? Fiorot is basically a kikcboxer who doesn't wrestle so much and neither brings a dangeours ground. Blanchfield striking is just primitive and her take downs attempts telegraphed and slow. Natalia brings only striking, she is not trying take donw nobody. Maycee is a basic fighter who Alexa have already handle. Rose is the only really rounded but she has slowing down a lot in the last rounds since she exchanged weighclass. She lost two rounds for Tracy Cortez on standing, c'mon...

Alexa is the only except Valentina who brings boxing and ground game threat at the same time for all these girls

As much as I want to dump on Sean, he really didn't look worse than anyone who merab has fought recently

He looked better if anything. Merab walked Yan down but was incredibly respectful of O'Malley and basically dropped rounds dancing on the outside.
 
I think her toughest matches on paper are Blanchfield and Fiorot, with both of them pretty much having their next fights lined up. So it's either a rematch with Barber, or a striking battle with Silva up next for her.

She belongs in the top 5, and I look forward to her next fight.
 
Not quite sure how you can see somebody give Valentina two fights where she couldn't handle her and then one bad performance versus the literal wackest way to win a fight and conclude the fighter isn't good. The only argument is Val is aged, but she looked worse in the first fight (imo).

Btw
