Overview
- Alexa Grasso and Maycee Barber meet in a three-round rematch Saturday at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on the UFC Fight Night co-main event.
- Grasso won their first fight by unanimous decision in February 2021 at UFC 258 inside the UFC APEX.
- Grasso says she honed her jiu-jitsu and ground work to restart her climb after defeats to Valentina Shevchenko and Natalia Silva.
- Barber enters on a seven-fight win streak after a 2024 health crisis and other setbacks, and she says a win over a former champion would make her “undeniable” for a title shot.
- Shevchenko holds the belt and Silva is viewed as next in line, yet the winner here could influence how the UFC orders the upcoming flyweight title fights.
