UFC 306: Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko – last fight in the trilogy fight

.

LAS VEGAS – The duel between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko, which many hope will be the last, is set after the ceremonial weigh-in at UFC 306 on Friday.

After months of confrontations, fights and a job as a coach on the reality series “The Ultimate Fighter,” Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) and Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) look to put their rivalry to rest for good when they battle for the women's flyweight title in the co-main event of the historic Noche UFC card at Sphere (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+).

Grasso won the first fight by surprise submission at UFC 285 in September 2023. The trilogy ended in a draw at Noche UFC in September 2023, but Shevchenko would have won the decision if it weren't for judge Mike Bell's controversial 10-8 score in round 5.

Check out the video above to see Grasso and Shevchenko square off one last time before the first women's trilogy fight at UFC 306.
