Big Bad Blog Video-Alexa Grasso vs Maycee Barber

Here's the match video of Alexa Grasso vs Maycee Barber from last night's UFC show in Las 
Vegas. This fight is at Flyweight. Alexa is from Mexico. She's a points fighter. She's mainly a not very hard puncher depending on volume to win fights. Maycee is from Colorado but she has recently moved to VFS in Chicago led by Mike Valle and Israel Martinez. She is also returning from knee surgery. I like that she finishes fights. But it's not like she is great at any one thing. She depends a lot on aggression and she's a hard puncher. I thought if she is aggressive at the start of the fight she could win. But it almost looked to me like she forgot how to fight. She tries to set up at a distance. But that's what Alexa wants. So though I didn't think Alexa was very effective, she was more effective than Maycee and Alexa won the first two rounds. Valle yelled at Maycee after round two. And she came to life. But she needed a finish and didn't get it. I scored the fight 29-28 for Alexa and so did all three judges. She could get a title shot at some point. Maycee could have won that fight if she had been aggressive from the start. That's something Valle and Martinez need to work on with Maycee or it could become a big problem. Enjoy the video!
