LAS VEGAS — Noche UFC was a great idea executed perfectly Saturday. In their wildest dreams, UFC officials couldn't have hoped to script a better show: The promotion's first card on Mexican Independence Day weekend was sensational from start to finish, and the rematch for the women's flyweight title between champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko was one for the ages.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 16: Alexa Grasso of Mexico reacts after retaining her title with a draw against Valentina Shevchenko of Kyrgyzstan in the UFC flyweight championship fight during the Noche UFC event at T-Mobile Arena on September 16, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. LAS VEGAS — Noche UFC was a great idea executed perfectly Saturday.
Though Grasso was clearly trailing midway through the fifth, nearly everyone who watched, including the most diehard Shevchenko fan, would have to admit that Grasso did enough to win the final round. Shevchenko poured her heart and soul into the rematch and gave everything she had. She fought on after breaking her thumb in the first round. She didn’t complain after Grasso kneed her in the head multiple times in the third when her hand was touching the mat. Given Shevchenko’s hand was on the mat, the knees were illegal, but referee Herb Dean didn’t call it.
