Retired American mixed martial arts veteran Josh Thomson commented on the statements of the former champion of the UFC women's flyweight division Valentina Shevchenko, who was dissatisfied with the work of the judges at her rematch with Alexa Grasso.
Let us remind you that the fight took place last weekend at the UFC Fight Night 227 tournament and ended in a draw via split decision. This result left the Mexican champion.
“I realized that she was Valentina—a sore loser. She said: “I won the fight, but they gave it to her because of Mexican Independence Day.” I thought, “Wow!” No, you lost the fight.” It was a close fight.
Is a trilogy necessary? Absolutely not. We need to give other fighters the opportunity to get a chance at the title. You lost by submission and then failed to win in a close fight. We need to give other fighters a chance to compete for the title. I don’t want to see them fight again,” Thomson said on the Weighing In podcast.
