LAS VEGAS â Valentina Shevchenko accuses ESPN of showing bias toward Alexa Grasso in the buildup to UFC 306.
Shevchenko (24-4-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC) regclaimed the flyweight title from Grasso (16-4-1 MMA, 8-4-1 UFC) by out-grappling her in the UFC 306 co-main event Saturday at Sphere. Shevchenko was able to close out their trilogy with a unanimous decision after she was submitted in their first fight, followed by a split draw in their rematch â a fight sheâs adamant she won.
Shevchenko was happy to beat Grasso in decisive fashion, but she believes she wasnât getting enough credit for her performance in the rematch, specifically from ESPN.
âI feel ESPN was showing so much (favoritism toward Alexa Grasso),â Shevchenko told MMA Junkie and other reporters at the UFC 306 post-fight news conference. âEven in the second fight with Alexa, so every time showing the moment when sheâs winning or sheâs doing good combinations.
âAnd my combinations, they just ignored. But I won the fight, but they just ignored. All the people had this feeling that she won the fight, and it was a draw. I felt it was unfair a little bit, and now there is no way for them to show these clips. Itâs going to do right and show the right clips now.â
Shevchenko is ready to move on from Grasso, shutting down a potential fourth fight. Manon Fiorot weighed in as the backup for their fight.
âI think it would be good to see somebody different,â Shevchenko said. âRight now, I donât think it would be the appropriate fight.â
Womenâs MMA is in an awful spot and I hope it suicides.
The Bantamweight champ is a chick who was 10-8 at the start of COVID.
Shevchenko at 125 is apparently now a lay and pray goblin.
Strawweight is a Chinese competition for best midget.
Put these bitches on undercards already.
What you meant to say
That said, Grasso is a cutie and should make babies with a man.
