Read below for social media reaction to the main event at Noche UFC, a UFC Flyweight title fight between the champion, Alexa Grasso, and Valentina Shevchenko. A rematch of their fight at UFC 285 which Grasso won via submission.
If it weren’t for the sketchy 10-8 round, I would’ve said “no” to the immediate trilogy, but seeing that Valentina would’ve won without that, it seems like they might have to do it all over again

After thinking about it, fight was 48-47 Grasso for me. Rounds 2, 4 and 5 #NocheUFC

An absolute corker of a fight! All timer in WMMA imo. And it ends in a draw! Wow wow, wow! Well done @AlexaGrasso and @BulletValentina! Incredible!

I really can’t comprehend how the 5th round was 10-8 to Mike Bell. Like seriously what could he have been watching?

Round 5 was more of a 9-9 instead of a 10-8 because of the early part of the round

I thought Grasso pulled it off, but not because round 5 is 10-8. That seems…absurd. pic.twitter.com/gUpbeqRMGm

A 10-8 round 5????? From Mike Bell? What in the hell is that. Maybe his handwriting just sucks. #UFCNoche

Grasso won imo, she had the knockdown and the ending was significant, they swore it was 2-2 in the 5th, I’m cool with watching them fight again so that’s the plan.

Shevchenko won the 5th. Dominated most the round. Messed up and got mounted but escaped pretty quick. I’d still say shevchenko won round 5. YouTube video incoming
