Shevchenko targets early victory in third fight with Grasso

Former dominant UFC women's bantamweight champion Valentina Shevchenko has spoken out about her third fight with current titleholder Alexa Grasso, which is expected to take place Sept. 14 at UFC 306.

"The last fight showed that I was stronger, faster, Alexa only had a few good moments. It's a personal matter for me and for her, you can't leave the outcome of our fight to the judges.

Definitely, I will focus more on an early win. For me, it doesn't matter what the finish will be, whether it's a punch or a submission. It's going to be done. I focus more on these things," - quotes Shevchenko MMA Junkie.

Recall that last March, Shevchenko lost to Grasso by submission. In the rematch, held in September, the athletes parted in peace.
