She's a real sweetheart isn't she? Just don't get her mad! I'll add that there's something very attractive about her accent. It's not 100% latina, there's something particularly sexy about it.
I was so invested in her fight with Valentina. I've had a crush on her for like the past 4 years and I'm always afraid to see her get hurt. Seeing her win was probably one of my top 10 favorite ufc moments
the amount of respect and inspiration I feel for and because of Alexa is truly amazing. My parents are from Mexico but they know nothing about MMA. Yesterday, I was having lunch at my moms and explained how Alexa pulled off this upset and who she was and showed them a video.. anyways, long story short Alexa inspired my mother, my sister, my brother and myself. Viva Mexico! Well deserved champ!!
ALEXA, CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT AND RESPECTFUL ATTITUDE MAKE YOU A TRUE ROLE MODEL! Hopefully you stay true to yourself and as you did not listen to people’s doubts and limitations before, do not let people’s fawning and flattery now let it go to your head... That is ALSO A BIG LESSON TO LEARN AND OBSTACLE TO OVERCOME... I GUESS YOUR WISDOM WILL ALLOW YOU TO DO SO... Responder
Coming from Canada, We have seen greatness once before, training, the mentality, the will to push on with the support you have around you.. This womens champion is meant for greatness..LETS GO GRASSO!!!!
I really haven't kept up with her. But it's clear that she's a sweetheart!! She's exactly what a Champion should be. Humble, team player and disciplined. A respectful killer!!
Being Mexican and following the sport for such a long time I honestly did not believe Grasso was going to be able to pull it off however I was still rooting and cheering for her the entire time. Before the fight I told my wife her story and her career how this was truly a David vs Goliath fight and she goddamn came through. I lost my voice from cheering and yelling so much from the instant she hopped on her back I could see Alexa was not going to yield and would indeed finish the fight.
I was born in Guadalajara and I am so proud of this Tapatia (from Guadalajara). She is so humble and so pleasant to watch how important family is to Alexa. Viva Mexico and viva Canada!
Congratulations to Alexa! Highlight of 285 for me watching her achieve her dream, i was worried for her going in Valentina's a legend but she was fearless and fought a great fight 👊
I've been following Alexa since invicta days. When she won the belt I couldn't believe it, I was jumping out of my seat. Shes' the most wholesome sweetheart ever, and the most humble. In the past she was always dreaming of getting into the UFC and hoping to get the belt someday and FINALLY SHE'S DONE IT!!! You deserve it Alexa and a lot of people are very happy for you!
So am I of VS but always liked AG also, if anyone was to dethrone her Im glad it was her. The work and the intensity of that this lady puts in is Fn insane! 2d to none.
I never bet on UFC fight’s but decided to bet for the first time on Alexa cause I was rooting for her and believed in her and came up big. Go Alexa 🇲🇽 🤜🏼 🏆
Yeah she quickly becoming my favourite person in the sport and I'm silly for not following her journey earlier. This sport has alot of ugly and moments like this make up for it and keep me coming back. 😭
shes a good fighter but I don't see her retiring as a champion. you've got val who's going to be working on all her mistakes in that fight. blanchfield, manon and talia who are all beasts in their own way. Alexa may defend against shevchenko. but I don't see a long title reign
I think she will win the rematch against Valentina. Blanchfield is so slow, she moves and strikes like Ben Askren. Manon and talia I think are her biggest threats so far
So proud of Alexa Grasso for her hard work and belief. I was looking to Taila Santos to be the one to breakthrough but it was Grasso's moment to have. Now, I'm glad she can look to shut up the critics and lame MMA fans with a rematch. This is why when so many people complain sometimes to just move on from the former champion that you have to do a rematch. Not only do champions like Valentina deserve that with their title defenses but it allows the new champs to define their era and show this belt is theirs, no luck or fluke involved. These fighters don't go into their intense training camps and give their all for nothing and these "fans" are lame to think otherwise. Legit win by Grasso. Val trains for EVERYTHING and talks about it and shows it on her social media regularly as a world class martial artist. She lost. Get over it. Good on you Alexa. You deserve it all.
I really wanted Blanchfield to be the one to take the belt off of Valentina but could not be happier for Grasso. Even back in her Invicta days her footwork and balance when striking was so good. Viva Mexico.
She did it. That is all...... People can say whatever the hell they want now. They can say she's average with skills, she's not good on the ground etc. This girl is the real deal. She can be bigger than Moreno if her manager plays her cards right.
There is a reason why I think you are the best interviewer, and there is a reason why I believed that Alexa Grasso was the one to bring Valentina Shevchenko down a notch! Alexa is a down to earth, smart, disciplined and hard working warrior! she will only get considerably better! Valentina in my opinion will never get her hands on that belt again! Kudos Alexa! Viva Mexico!
Most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen without makeup and she just happens to be an absolute assassin that just beat arguably the greatest woman’s fighter ever. What an amazing competition. I’m in love.
I remember people in this comments section for this channel giving me crap for picking Blanchfield to beat Valentina lol and saying Grasso had a real chance. Lol suckers. Proud of Grasso!!!!
Alexa Grasso seems like a really cool person to meet. Been following her since she changed to flyweight, I always believed she was gonna get to the top and even more happier for her for going in there and submitting the reigning flyweight champion. Always letting her fight game do the talking, love Grasso always til the end and appreciate her as a person and her beautiful personality. She deserves this legitimately
Bro. Truly high guard Mexican defense style. Hitting Valentina with basics but fast and tight combinations. I was telling my friends like, solo necesita tener su guardia bien arriba y cerradita y se la va a coger y mira!
Alexa is the most gorgeous 125 champion ever with the real true humble character. She doesn't critisize her opponents at all & very respectful. She sounds nice in our ears too😍😍😍

Jalisco has better venues than most of the the United states. Most American MMA fans have no idea how massive sports events can be in Mexico. The best chance UFC ever has at matching a Pride event will be in Mexico.
Her English is extremely good . She was born and raised in Mexico and surely not a rich girl who had access to a bilingual education, as rich girls only , have access to a bilingual education in countries like México , and I know , since I am from Colombia.
Good stuff right here. Anik is right that there is no better moment in this sport then when someone breaks through and wins a ufc belt for the first time
