Valentina basically saying Grasso won by luck

[Fatback96]

She said something like “you can be winning every aspect of the fight and one wrong thing can lose you the fight.”

Not sure she was winning every aspect of that fight…. Seemed to be getting pieced up on the feet and had to wrestle to get the win.

 

[drbolony]

Yeah she's a sore loser

 

[Other]

I'm a huge Valentina fan and I think she wasn't looking that great tonight

 

[phajebkeedooh]

She did though. Valentina got caught and let's not forget about that stand up when Shevchenko was throwing haymakers on poor grasso's face

 

[infinite666]

But thats exacly what happened?

 

[Pechan]

And Anik was like "classy in defeat"

Chael is right, Valentina is a heel.

 

[Steve Fox]

Being humble in victory was never a trait of Valentina, let alone in defeat.

 

[Nihongi]

I mean…

 

[Rorschachxx]

Honestly she did not look good at all in this fight.

 

[Prologue]

Honestly, it was crazy close even before the sub.

I was really surprised by how strong she looked. But that's the thing, is that she started pretty young, and at 115. Going up to 125, while entering her physical prime, was clearly a smart move.

The only significant punches were being landed by Grasso. Val was getting boxed up and had to keep shooting anytime Grasso got close.

 

[knock_you_out]

I'm so happy to see her lose.

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

she didnt handle the loss well at all

 

[Dr Brian Pepper]

But thats exacly what happened?

How so? Had Valentina survived, it would have been 2 rounds each

Kinda hard to say you were winning

Did you forget about that horrible stand up? Shevchenko landed like three big ass punches and they got stood up by the ref

Also, Alexa look insanely calm in that fight. Like eerily calm

 

[C0NCH3TO]

I loved it.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

To a degree because she was dominating the previous grappling exchanges, but Alexa was piecing her up in the striking exchanges, and timed her spin very nicely.

So it wasn't totally just luck.

It was a competitive fight overall.

 

[Fact Checker]

She’s not lying.


Grasso is a terrible grappler, and Valentina is just as goofy for throwing that ridiculous kick.


This might be the weakest stable of champs in UFC history.

 

[The XL]

It was 2-1 Valentina, Alexa was on her way to winning the 4th. Valentina didn't look good tonight.
