(Watch on UFC Fight Pass)
Before becoming flyweight champion, Alexa Grasso had a series of close fights with numerous contenders or champions in a weight class at strawweight. In the co-main event of UFC Mexico, Grasso fought Esparza to a very close majority decision loss that earned him Fight of the Night honors.
Grasso’s striking was on point, and she almost submitted Esparza as well, but Esparza’s consistent wrestling game gave him the judges’ nod. What was most memorable about this fight was the final thirty seconds, when both athletes threw caution to the wind and exchanged wildly until the fight’s conclusion.
