Noche UFC’s main event lived up to the hype, giving fans a nail-biting finish that they always crave. The fight between UFC women’s flyweight champ Alexa Grasso, and challenger Valentina Shevchenko was so close that the judges could not decide the winner. That’s why this battle ended in a split decision draw, which is very rare to see in the octagon.

Usually, draws are frustrating for the fans, but not this one! The fight was filled with action and adventure. Moreover, both fighters landed some powerful strikes along with an exceptional display of grappling in all 5 rounds. Unsurprisingly, such an impressive performance triggered a reaction from UFC’s one and only, Conor McGregor.
