Once criticized as the weakest division in women’s MMA, the UFC’s flyweight division is thriving after awesome name change V UFC 285 when Alexa Grasso upset Valentina Shevchenko by winning gold.
Now with Grasso (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) holding the throne, the women’s 125-pound division is more attractive than ever, and Shevchenko (23-4 MMA, 12-3 UFC) sits in the contender column alongside with, for example, the highly publicized Erin Blanchfield and the burgeoning Frenchwoman Manon Fiorot.
Can we already say that this division is the best? Or has it already arrived?
Our “Spinning Back Clique” group of Brian “Gose” Garcia, Dan Tom and Farah Hannoon discussed this topic with “Gorgeous” host George Garcia. Check out their discussion in the video above, and don’t miss this week’s full episode below.
