Alexa Grasso on UFC 315 Defeat: 'You Lose a Battle But Not the War'

Alexa Grasso is maintaining a strong sense of resolve in the wake of her latest defeat.

The former flyweight champion dropped a unanimous decision to Natalia Silva in a featured contest at UFC 315 in Montreal this past Saturday night. The Lobo Gym MMA star struggled with the speed and movement of her Brazilian opponent, as all three cageside judges submitted 30-27 tallies in favor of Silva.

The victory likely propels Silva, who has won seven straight Octagon appearances, to title contention at 125 pounds. Grasso, meanwhile, tipped her proverbial cap to her adversary in a statement on Instagram.
