10 Crazy UFC Fights You Must Watch In February
7. Maycee Barber Vs. Alexa Grasso - UFC 258
I know I've already mentioned how fascinating it is to watch women's flyweight division grow, but here's just another example of the division going in the right direction. The fight between Maycee Barber and Alexa Grasso is another extremely entertaining match-up that should put the weight class in a positive light.
Barber looked like she was ready to steamroll through anyone who was willing to fight her at 125lb when she first joined the UFC. However, a nasty knee injury in her loss to MMA veteran, Roxanne Modaferri, in her last fight has slowed the hype train down somewhat. However, there's no denying the talent and potential she has.
As a fighter who many earmarked to be the future of 125lb, Grasso hasn't quite reached the heights many believed she could. She's never been able to gain momentum, going 4-3 in seven Octagon appearances, interchanging between wins and losses during that time.
Although a loss won't mean they get a pink slip, a win for either woman is important as it would allow them to gain the consistency they require to stake a claim for a shot at the title.
