Shevchenko: “Grasso fights without a strategy, she is a situational fighter”

Valentina Shevchenko – Alexa Grasso

UFC Fight Night 227 headliner Valentina Shevchenko spoke about the fighting skills of her closest opponent Alexa Grasso. The show will take place on the night of September 17 in Las Vegas.

Let us remind you that in March, the native of Kyrgyzstan unexpectedly lost to the Mexican by submission and lost the title in the flyweight division. 

“She’s a situational fighter. She fights without strategy and doesn't put pressure on her opponent with her tactics or technique. She just waits and can do absolutely nothing. Just waiting for a chance. I feel the same, but it’s not about her, it’s about me, and the point is that I will do anything,” Shevchenko said in an interview with TNT Sports.
