There's something special about seeing someone win the world championship for the first time.
All that hard work they've put in for years finally paying off for this specific moment.
Well done!

The way Grasso snatched the back of Valentina in a split second was incredible... Well deserved win 🙌👏

I remember seeing Grasso fight when she was in Invicta and she used to put on a show with her striking. She seemed to lose a bit of confidence when she first made it to the UFC, but recently she got her confidence back and believes in herself. What she did tonight was incredible, she was beating Valentina in striking and forced Valentina to resort to wrestling. Valentina got frustrated and sloppy and that's all Grasso needed to take advantage and snatch her neck. With improved take down defense and even more confidence, I see Grasso winning the rematch as well.

Moreno got the belt back in January, Yair became interim champion last month, now today Alexa became champion. Mexico is dominating the UFC scene puro orgullo 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🐐🐐🐐

La niña bonita de Guadalajara México se convirtio en la mujer más chingona de todo el país!!! Felicidades Alexa, nadie más que tú se lo merece por tantos años de lucha y de entrega. ♥♥♥

I had a feeling she was gonna pull something in the later rounds. Val immediately respected her boxing in the first rounds

[emmah]

So rare to see Valentina with such technique make a mistake off a horrible spinning kick, Alexa got on that back SUPER QUICK it was impressive. I was watching that clock and thinking she might not have enough time but she pulled it off 👍👍👍

I remember watching her first ufc fight and being really impressed at her style..and her nice personality... and wondering how far she'd get... I know now... as well as almost everyone that didnt think she had a chance against Shevchenko.... Well done Alexa Grasso! A pretty new champion from Mexico!

[toastedbread]

That was so slick. I never thought of that being a weakness for Shevchenko. What a game plan and execution was on point. There will be a rematch, but congrats to Grasso 🇲🇽

[elliotalderson]

Im not a mexican but i got tears on my eyes. I never thought she would win but The submission was so beautiful and being myself a fighter im too happy for her. She deserves that. She did it so beautifully and bravely. Even though she was getting picked up many a times but damn she stood there and fcking choked her. Im very happy. She deserves it. Im officially a fan now.

[es-ckeu]

The fact that she submitted one of the best female fighter and dominant champion makes it even more impressive

[MrHerks]

She was a different fighter this time, seemed more focused and intentional. It showed that she really did train super hard for this fight and completed the training with the victory. Super well done, Champ
