Alexa Grasso is living a complicated moment. Even though she gave one of the best performances of her young career and won her first UFC Fight of the Night performance bonus, she wasn’t granted with the victory she was looking last Saturday in front of her countrymen. Judges saw the former champion Carla Esparza as having the upper hand.
That has not diminished her spirit, however. Quite the opposite. She’s happy she was able to put into practice many new techniques, that she went wire to wire with one of the most experienced fighters in her division, and is basking in the support from all her fans who steadfastly believe she actually did enough to win.
