UFC 306 social media reactions: Valentina Shevchenko's trilogy title ...
.
Valentina Shevchenko evened the score with Alexa Grasso on Saturday when she regained the women's flyweight title in the UFC 306 co-main event.
Shevchenko (24-4-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC) made the record 1-1-1 in head-to-head matchups with Grasso (16-4-1 MMA, 8-4-1 UFC) with a lopsided unanimous decision victory in the co-main event of the historic card at Sphere in Las Vegas.
The matchups between Shevchenko and Grasso marked the first women's trilogy in UFC history, and remains to be seen if a historic fourth meeting comes down the line as a result.

None of these submission attacks by Grasso have been close tbh but she’s attacking more in round 2. #ufc306

Dude when they're on the feet it looks like a direct rip from a UFC 5 ranked match with how tentative and stiff Valentina stands and moves

Grasso’s hips and instinct to sprawl has been nonexistent so far this fight.

BIg time loser vibes from Grasso in between rounds 4-5. Listless in the corner. She needs finish to retain title #UFCNoche
