The current UFC flyweight champion, Alexa Grasso, will make her first title defense against Valentina Shevchenko, who sensationally took away the belt in March of this year.
This was announced at a press conference in Las Vegas by UFC President Dana White.
“We’re working on it,” White said after UFC Fight Night 223. “This is one of the fights we’re working on at the moment.”
At the same time, the head of the organization did not name the date and place of the battle.
On March 4 at UFC 285 in Las Vegas, Alexa Grasso pulled off one of the biggest upsets in mixed martial arts history, finishing Valentina Shevchenko by rear naked choke in the fourth round to become the new UFC Flyweight Champion. At the same time, “Bullet” advanced to the fourth round, fighting with a score of 29-28 on the cards of all judges.
Before losing to the Mexican, Shevchenko made seven successful title defenses, which she won against Joanna Jedrzejczyk in December 2018.
