On Saturday evening, the UFC hosted a historic Noche UFC battle card, the primary occasion deliberate to rejoice Mexican Independence Day. Headlining the cardboard was a UFC flyweight title battle between new champion Alexa Grasso who was trying to show her win over Valentina Shevchenko was not a fluke.
Sadly, the battle was scored a break up draw after an insane five-round battle.
Here is how fighters, followers, and media reacted to the battle.
