Alexa Grasso ‘full of motivation’ following win over Maycee Barber, eyes top-10 opponent next

Alexa Grasso is ready to make her ascension up the flyweight rankings following a great start to the year.

Grasso earned a unanimous decision victory over Maycee Barber in the co-main event of UFC 258 this past month in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old is now 2-0 since making the move up to 125 pounds.

The win created more than a change in the rankings and the second half of her paycheck. Grasso is more prepared than ever to continue her evolution in an interesting flyweight division.

“I feel good,” Grasso told MMA Fighting in regards to her performance.
