Grasso snook in an all time great line, hope someone caught that...... "Most people don't believe in themselves. Why would they believe in me?"
💰
Deep
Holy shit! Chillssss
That's good.
🔥
she's probably the cutest female fighter
t city wife ???
@@thekickingguy842 Im going with Grasso, she dont need brooms glued to her eyes
@@thekickingguy842 Im Talking cutest/most adorable. Mackenzie Dern is the hottest UFC female fighter, hands down
@@Eldrvak 😂 💀
@@isaacbeacham9596 Dern looks too much like her dad I don’t see the hype
Mexican fighting spirit is underrated. They fight their heart out like a warrior. I believe in Alexa.
They fight like punching bags. Lol.
@@truthoverlies6434 you definitely some type a weirdo how you gonna call someone who would punch on your head , like a punching bag… a punching bag??? Warriors are warriors, & facts are facts, in boxing it’s black folk & Mexicans, ufc is black folk & Brazilians, Brazilians could tend to fight like that to. But here you go hating on a barefoot 1ndian that would fold you like they’re blaming your cheeks
Give her a Modelo
@@nessodap8409 The P4P #1 in both sports is a white guy. Lol. Mexican style is literally being a punching bag because they're so devoid of skill, all they know how to do is take a punch to try to give one, and they usually take 5 for every one they give. They can do it because their skulls are empty so there's nothing inside to take blunt force trauma. That's why their country is third world. They're a bunch of ret*.
@@truthoverlies6434 A Mexican dude took your girl huh? Got some built up anger lmao
She’s the female version of Brandon Moreno so happy and never a trash talker
This fight is going to be epic! Both these women are incredible
😭😂 the bullet is going to kick her ass .. easy pay day
More like another Valentine's Sacrificial Lamb 🐑
@@cheerikyindian how’d that lamb work out for valentina?
Alexa is cute af
No doubt about that. She has a wonderful spirit about her to. Humble, not cocky can take you along way...
Everybody looks unbeatable until they don’t. Figuereido, Usman, Izzy, Nunes, silva. Alexa has crisp boxing and good ground game. Although it’s gonna be tough, she can pull the upset.
Valentinas technique is the definition of crisp
The difference is... women's division is dead af. Nunes was ill with the flu when she lost, Valentina is at 100%.
Grassos ground game is not that great actually. And shes kinda small. If this was just boxing i would probably pick grasso. But tbh valentina just gonna take her down and dominate
@@GigaChadDuPlessis yeah I understand. Valentina is definitely the more complete, explosive, stronger fighter. However everyone can be beaten in any given night.
@@vhsquality i doubt she had the flu. She just had an off night
Team GRASSO all day 🇲🇽🏆
Imagine bringing her home to ur mom. God bless
My man brings the most important point here🤩
Grasso is nothing to sneeze at. I've been impressed with her for a long while I been going back and forth with this fight I have a strange feeling
Same, All pressure on Valentina .
She will get taken down, and either get tko'd or submitted. No chance at all
@@michska53Where u at????😂😂😂 let me hear the excuses🫠🫠🫠
She will shock the world this weekend 🇲🇽💯
She’s getting hurt
I got her n some lines but few idk
She did
Let's go b****** 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
u were right
Bullet is a tough one to beat but with the right training and mindset anything is possible. Wish you all the best Alexa Grasso and hope you make it. 👸
Sou brasileiro e vou torcer para Alexa, ela é muito linda e fofa! Beijos do Brasil 🇧🇷 💚
Got to love all the people giving their opinion, while also admitting that they have never seen her fight. You are of no use.
People who have never trained or had a fight giving advice on how to fight, that’s the majority of the audience and it’s hilarious.
She’s so cute
Her boxing technique is as exquisite as her eyes.
for English being her second language she is very well spoken!
Dos peleadoras con tecnicas diferentes, Valentina una gran Luchadora y con mucha experiencia, y Grasso un nuevo valor con ganas de coronarse como la primera mujer Mexicana con un titulo mundial dentro de la UFC
Wow
She's the prettiest to fight for the belt😍
¡Alexa, espero que sorprendas al mundo!
Grasso is in a win-win situation. If she wins, she becomes champion. If she loses, the experience and the lessons to be learned from sharing the cage with that calibre of martial artist will be a big plus
Such a sweet killer. Go Alexa Go Grasso
Increíble el apoyo, estamos contigo alexa 💪🇲🇽🔥🥊
04:51 What a beautiful language! Just flows perfectly ❤ Wishing you the best Alexa! Lets go Mexico!
She's an absolute dime piece and she will be champ one day but I think it's to soon to fight Valentina. I hope I'm wrong and she gets it done but val is a monster
Two great fighters, this should be epic, good luck to both.
Maybe I’m just used to the physical facial features of my people(women) from Mexico. But I’m curious to how other cultures of ethnicities see my people(women) from this part of the world. 🇲🇽 Grasso is so beautiful. She’s so beautiful. So so beautiful.
She is beautiful
this girl so sweet and she has a nice calm vibe.
I like the speed when she switch language
El boxeo de Alexa es incomparable... espero que gane y se vuelva campeona !
Her boxing is absolute rubbish. Just because she’s Mexican your talking this nonsense.
Grasso has the cleanest striking of any female fighter on the roster
@@beauaIloevvbeta boy beau your mom and I have decided that's it's time you move out of our basement. All you do is drain the guys at the local truck stop and text your boyfriend's. It's time you grow a pair and grow up and get out of our basement
either her or her teammate Irene Aldana have the best boxing, but Valentina is an all around better striker imo
cleanest boxing*
good boxing... but all around striking valentina is kind of light years ahead..
*Lmao A Causal Literally Saying Grasso Has The "Cleanest Striking" When She's About To Fight The Best Female Striker In UFC History...*
Fair assessment of this being a giant challenge. Hope for a good fight and they both leave healthy. The whole card is crazy good
Viva México! 🇲🇽
Been watching her since Invicta FC. She's a damn good striker! If she can defend the takedowns she has a good chance to win.
She’s not on Valentina level of striking stop it
Good luck from Australia Alexa!! I wish you all the best
Alexa te apoyamos!!!!!! Tu puedes canija!!!!! Viva México!!!!
Chale
Should be a great fight Alexa for the win 🇲🇽
Si le das Alexa! Si le das! 👊🇲🇽
She looks intense and focused, ready to cause an upset.
Let's Go Alexaaa✊✊✊.
C'mon Grasso , you can do this
Alexa is wifey!
Let’s go Grasso
Fan of both let the best women win let’s goooo
Peña did it with Nuñes. No one is Unbeatable. Rooting for Grasso!
As Mexican, definitely behind my Alexa. However, I don't see the bullet being dethroned anytime soon. 🇲🇽 💪🏼
but of course you are, everyone knows to root for their own race.
Val literally lost 1 fight ago.
Mira a tu alrededor traumadito ahí es a donde te ha llevado esa manera de pensar, una cosa es ser realista y otra es ser derrotista… guey! 👊🇲🇽
Well nobody can be perfect all the time not even Valentina but it's really going to be a very tough fight for Alexa.
Tienes que empezar a creer! Uno hace su propia realidad! No se trata de sueños guajiros donde el Resortes se vuelve el beisbolista fenómeno sin haber jugado en su vida es tener una visión, un propósito y tener disciplina en lograrlo 👊🇲🇽
Let's go Grasso!!
Viva México,
Go getum Grasso!!This is your chance to shock the world!!
Viva mexicoooo 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 lets goooo grasso!!!!!!!
Let's go Grasso, time to FINISH Valentina.
Sorry Alexa but the only 125 lbs mexican who can beat Valentina is Brandon Moreno Let's go Bullet!
Será mesmo um grande desafio enfrentar a Valentina que é muito versátil e ataca com fúria. Todavia, A Grasso tem excelente boxe e se dá bem no chão. Se a Grasso escapar das garras da campeã e enfrentá-la com muita determinação, impondo respeito e desenvolvendo seu melhor boxe, a ponto de fazer Valentina recuar ante os vários socos na cara, creio que Alexa poderá, sim, ser a mais nova campeã peso mosca. A mexicana é muito casca grossa e será difícil para a Valentina.
I’m Mexican too n you were right
Estabas correcto en todo solo te faltó predecir la sumisión 👊🇲🇽
This fight so slept on alexa can really fight 👀 i wouldn’t be surprised if she pulls the upset
Such a sweet heart ❤
At this point there have been bigger upsets. Does have potential to be a banger though
Valentina gas to be very careful of grasso and her very good and technical boxing which she sets up well and always combinations to...good luck alexa and Valentina may the best female win....viva la Mexico 🇲🇽....
Ánimo Alexa. Ya eres un orgullo para todos
Eso Alexa, eres la mejor
She’s beautiful I love her like foreal and good luck viva 🇲🇽
Next champ right there 💪🏻 let’s go
It’s going to be a tough fight Alexa is the underdog in this fight I hope everything goes well and I hope Alexa ends up having her hand raised Vamos puro Mexico perros!!!!🇲🇽
ALEXA BEAUTIFUL!!!❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪
I'm not sure she will be the one that beats Valentina. She will put up a good fight but I just think Valentina is well rounded. Would be great if she go out and do it.
Suerte alexa
I'm simping hard for grasso and I'm rooting for her to win. Ofc one of the reason why i root for her is because she has that underrated boxing game. Just my 2 cents.
Her boxing game is not underrated at all. Ask anyone and im sure most will agree grasso is the best pure boxer in the division. Its valentinas wrestling thats going to give grasso problems
Gorgeous, Humble, Well Spoken and soon to be WORLD CHAMPION! 🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻💪🏻
🙏🏻
Shes not gonna win. Sorry. Grasso has great hands. Probably the best in the division. But shes pretty small and doesnt have great ground skills. Valentina is gonna take her down and dominate
@@GigaChadDuPlessis lol
Vamos Mexico si se puede vamos por todo
Venga Alexa!
LMFAO, the Spanish interviewer actually called Alexa the next Ronda Rousy.
Because MMA is basically new in Mexico and her becoming champ, she basically will pave the way for the younger gen.
LETS GO GRASSO
Love Alexa ♥️
That’s nice. Val in 3 ❤
My instinct says Shevchenko but who knows, sometimes the judges get involved and sometimes people just get really good all of a sudden.
I like and routing for ALEXA, she has that Mexican grit and heart, but I don’t think thats enough. V is a beast and has the experience and technical MMA credentials to get the win. Valentina vs Nunez…. V needs to get that rematch! That would be a great fight!
🇲🇽
sin miedo mijaaaaaa!!!
Broooo Shavtak looks massive
love her
Grande Alexa ! Que Todo los dioses de nuestra Tierra Esten a tu lado El sabado.
Grasso is a baddie but she’s about to get rag-dolled.
she is so pretty❤
Seen her fights not impressed she better really step it up ! She is not ready for sure done!
I'm just here to appreciate Alexa's beauty.
Eres la Mejor adelante la Victoria está cerca
VAMOÑOS!!!! Alexa Grassi is The New Flyweight women champion by Submission (RNC)
I think I'm in love..
She is beautiful ❤️❤️
I love her
LETS GOOOO!!! 👊🏽🇲🇽👊🏽
May Alexa win, but if Valentina wins the UFC should make (BWF) Baddest Women Fighter belt btw Amanda nunes and Valentina.
I think Alexa's boxing is better than Manon but Manon is stronger. Her grappling has gradually improved. Alexa must be careful with her forever high guard because Valentina has relentless kicks & her legs are her foundation for her stunning striking. If Alexa is able to defend from the bear hug, I see Alexa strives her way through to the final round
I like grasso. But i dont think shes making it 5 rounds. Valentina is gonna take her down and probably finish her inside 3
@@GigaChadDuPlessis if Alexa being explosive like she did in the third round with Araujo, she'll find her way through. Look at Erin, she wasn't timid against Andrade. Alexa must not play a chess game with Valentina
@@high5786 araujo is not valentina shevchenko. This is a whole different level of beast grasso is up against
@@GigaChadDuPlessis what level? Grasso leveled up & won on the feet finally punished Val with RNC
@@high5786 bruh. Im happy for her. But she won 1 round then got dominated. Enjoy it because i doubt grasso gonna be champ for long. Val made a mistake she wont make in the rematch
Wow. What an earth-shattering realization! 🙄🤨😅
Alexa cannot sit back and wait for Valentina to get her shots off. Because Valentina will pick her apart. She has to fight her toe to toe. Although it’s a high risk, it’s also a high reward. Valentina is used to being the aggressor. Because the women that fight her are immediately scared once they see her striking up close and personal. If Alexa fight her toe to toe I think it will throw Valentina off just a tad. Who knows. We’re all speculating right now. We will all see come Saturday.
Its not gonna be a striking fight. Grasso has a clear weakness. Her ground game. Valentina will 100% take advantage of that. Grasso is also pretty small and could fight at 115. Valentina is gonna dominate this fight im afraid
She's so 🔥 & 👇 2 🌎... Keep up the hard work girl

Viva Mexico
Alexa has improved ALOT since her debut no doubt!... im a fan and friend of her and would love to see her win on Saturday... BUT although she has improved , its mainly her striking that she's improved more than anything... nothing else... for that reason imo i dont think she is ready for valentina.... but again... just one guy's opinion
I agree. I really like grasso. She probably is the best pure boxer in the division. But i feel valentina just gonna take her down and dominate
She's beautiful too
Her english improved faster than schaubs.
I really want her to win
