Grasso retains belt after split draw with Shevchenko at UFC Fight Night 227

Alexa Grasso retained her flyweight title after coming away with a split draw against Valentina Shevchenko on Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 227. It marked the first time UFC held a main card on Mexican Independence Day, keeping in tradition for combat sports to hold big fights on Sept. 16. It was a long-anticipated rematch from March 4, when Grasso pulled off the stunning upset with a fourth-round submission after Shevchenko missed badly when she led her attack with a back kick.
