Stephen Thompson, Charles Woodson and Other MMA Superstars Impressed With Alexa Grasso’s UFC 258 Performance
The co-main event at UFC 258 saw Maycee Barber take on Alexa Grasso in what is a crucial fight in the women’s flyweight division.
‘The Future’ is ranked number 10 in the division, whereas Grasso is ranked 15th in the division. Barber is touted as the future of the flyweight division, given her stunning record. Maycee was on an eight-fight win streak before suffering the first loss of her career against Roxanne Modafferi in January last year.
Therefore, the big question going into the fight was how ‘The Future’ woud handle the first loss of her career and if she would be able to bounce back to secure a win against a tough adversary in Grasso.
However, ‘The Future’ came up short against Alexa Grasso who secured an impressive unanimous decision win over a though contender.

Flyweight Alexa Grasso is the fighter we’ve been waiting to see since she came over from Invicta. She looks great, so far.
And that transition was a thing of beauty. Wow.
