When is the fight between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko? Walkout time for the co-main event of UFC 306

.

Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko will face each other for the third time at UFC 306. This five-round women's flyweight championship bout takes place on Saturday, September 14 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. UFC General Manager Dana White is touting Noche UFC as a “love letter to the Mexican people” in celebration of Mexican Independence Day.

Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) vs. Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) is the first women's trilogy fight in UFC history. Their first meeting took place in March 2023, with Grasso dethroning Shevchenko as champion by forcing her to submit in the fourth round, pulling off an all-time upset. The shocking result was named the upset of the year for 2023 by MMA Junkie.

Six months later, Grasso and Shevchenko headlined the first Noche UFC event, where the two women fought to a draw. Leading up to their trilogy, Grasso and Shevchenko served as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter.
