I would like to point out that I was probably the only one who gave her a solid chance against Valentina. And I have the worst fight picks ever.

[chrisvaughan]

That’s BJJ right there… she’s really talented!

[pipedgolf]

The way she took her back shot adrenaline through my body 😂 it was like 5:30 in the morning and I just started shouting 😂

[clorox]

Watching this live was absolutely insane probably one of my favourite fights that night

[cameronbutler]

Your videos are great keep up the good work

[snt]

I watched this live and the quickness of her getting on her back is insane

[VincentViewer]

The last fight was the best fight of the event. Impressive to watch and see her use other skills than boxing. I hope she keeps fighting and becoming more well rounded.

Grasso's boxing was (in my opinion) a lot cleaner than Valentinas and was peppering shots. But just too far apart to win rounds/ also wasn't doing great on takedown defense. But the timing on that spin is AMAZING cause as a grappler I already know back position is hard to get but to do it in that fashion and turned valentinas face 2 diffrent colors is just spectacular

[lewisvega]

Great work comes great reward! Sweetheart you worked so hard to become the champion u deserve it 💯 percent! Congrats on your championship!

[bigrandomun]

Just to be clear, losing to Tatiana and Carla is way different than just losing against normal women. Alexa lost to a 2-time champion and in Tatiana’s case, a fighter who should’ve already had a belt around her waist. Not the worst 2 to lose against.

[fredthemanman]

I was watching the event but I was sick and tired and that’s the only fight that I missed in UFC 285 It was a great event

[raambharose]

Man that was an awesome move by grasso in getting the back
I don't know why but I had a bad feeling that valentina was gonna lose and it actually happened
But I do think valentina wins the rematch 🙃

[Mrcerealtheth]

This is probally the only woman sport I actually like

[cheericoke]

That spin kick lost Valentina what would’ve been an easy 4-1 decision win

[aaronhuber]

Pls make a video about the goat and inventor of the calf kick benson Henderson

[victorpadilla]

I put Grasso on my parlay and won a nice check!! 🎉 viva Mexico cabrones 😂

[Jazzyexplorer]

I am so happy she won that fight she deserved it I've never liked Valentina

[ghost]

I wonder how much they paid Valentina to lose that fight

[heisenwhite]

Sorry everyone, but women fights are strange and boring. I don't understand why people pretend to enjoy it.

[ezrawright]

You should be the one interviewing fighters not Ariel Helwani😭
