Is Grasso the most likeable female champ ever?

Gina used to have both.

Gina was the best champ for all of female mma at the time. Hottest by a mile, entertaining fights, and super cool chick back in the day.

Weili by a mile.

I can't take her seriously after her big book of excuses for losing to Rose the first time.

Gina was the sexiest, by far, and for sure.

But Alexa is cuter and more endearing.

I noticed TS talked about everything but fighting.

I'll watch Zhang, Val, JJ, Ronda, Kayla, Rose, Cyborg, Nunes, ect. over Grasso every day.

I get you all that is said about Alexa is true she is a dime. I guess I just prefer more mature looking women like how Gina was back in her day. But WOOD both no doubt lol and are both top tier women champions

Totally know what you mean.

Gina was like 'celebrity quality," iconic, red-carpet quality.

Alexa just seemed to me more like "the cute girl you want to come home to" ... or at least for me.

Shit that perfectly sums it up sir.

Both are great choices and honestly I have them both on my short list of WMMA mount rushmore. Val is up there as well. Hoping for another high level chess match with these 2 great champs tonight. Im actually getting more excited for the trilogy closer we get.

Yes, but certainly not the most marketable it seems. She's still an unknown outside of people who follow the UFC, not sure if that's a UFC promotion issue as on the surface she should have good mainstream cross over appeal.

The biggest reason probably is becuz she isnt American. UFC only seems to cross over promote American women well. The only exception probably was Amanda with ESPN but outside of that breaking into the mainstream they cant do it with foreign women fighters

Miesha says hi.

Grasso is up there too but she’s still below Miesha and possibly Holm.

Holly Holm looks like my Grandfather.

Excuse you.... Your grandfather looks like Holly Holm

“she exudes feminine vibes while at the same time demanding respect with her FIGHTING ABILITY.”

I did, not that it needed to be mentioned, she dethroned one of the most dominant chaps the UFC had ffs.

Yeah, but the UFC is desperate to attract the Mexican/mexican American market (UFC noche hello), she also speaks very good english, not Nunes level english. Brandon Moreno got a big promotional push when he had the belt for those reasons, with Grasso it feels like the UFC sees her as an interim chap until Valentina gets her belt back.

 

[Hdfi]

On TUF she seemed to be very nice and easy-going.

 

[HCS]

I can't take her seriously after her big book of excuses for losing to Rose the first time.

I can't get too upset at great fighters for taking losses hard though. I think it has to be really hard to admit defeat when you're that good.

She's the only top fighter I can think of who's said "I didn't lose to my opponent, I lost to the crowd."

Holly Holm looks like my Grandfather.

Lol. If she hadn't knocked Ronda's head into the moon while shooting for the stars, Holly is pretty forgettable. But doing what she did puts her up there.
