Valentina Shevchenko speaks about a third fight against Alexa Grasso

Valentina Shevchenko did an interview with Mike Bohn for MMA Junkie where she shared her thoughts on a potential trilogy fight against the current champion Alexa Grasso.

'Bullet' shared that she did not intend to risk the third fight going to the judges and was planning on scoring a finish.

"I'm just focusing on my performance and be more faster, be stronger and definitely it's a thing I don't want to leave the decision for the judges... Definitely, I will focus more on the finish. For me, it [doesn't] matter what kind of finish, striking or submission. It has to be done. I'm focusing more on those things."

Shevchenko and Grasso first locked horns for the flyweight belt at UFC 285 in March 2023. The event was held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. That night, the Mexican fighter shocked the world and pulled off an incredible submission victory in the fourth round of the fight.

With the win, Grasso broke the 36-year-old's nine-fight win streak in the UFC.

The two flyweights were then matched up for a second encounter at Noche UFC in September 2023. The fight was a highly competitive affair where both fighters gave it their all. The razor-close contest went the 25-minute distance and ended in a draw, causing Grasso to retain the championship. The three judges scored the bout 48-47, 47-48 and 47-47.
