It's cool seeing boxing styles taking names at the top. Val controlling on the ground seems a threat - she's threatening everywhere, favored in the fight, but I like Grasso's tenacity and momentum, maybe underrated.

The Mexican kept her title
& I was thinking to myself (as a boxing fan) before they announced the result "I wonder if they have draws in MMA," because I also thought it was very competitive & couldn't make up my mind (I wasn't scoring rounds)

As an experiment, I'll score the rounds as I watch them first time. I've seen other comments but only remember the 10-8 5th round a judge gave to Grasso I think.
round 1 - Val 10-9 round 2 - Alexa 10-9 round 3 - Val 10-9 round 4 - Val 10-9 or even, difficult to score round 5 - Alexa 10-9
I guess I scored for Val 48-46,47 though rooting for Grasso. Can see a draw as rounds 3 and 4 were close. Awesome show. That 10-8 5th round saved Grasso. Can see it but usually a 10-8 round I thought would be when the other fighter did nothing at all, utter dominance, but Val was landing strikes in the round before the take down and dominant ending by Grasso.

Excellent title fight. But uh.... 47-47.

You'd be surprised how often it happens. We had one just last year with Jan v. Magomed.

Oh yeah, was that a title fight? Right, but the title was vacant to begin with I think, and remained vacant.

It looks like last night was the sixth time in UFC a title fight went to a draw.
BJ Penn vs Caol Uno, title remained vacant Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard, Frankie retained <- actually not clear, don't remember and I'm not seeing in article clear enough Woodley vs Wonderboy Thompson, Woodley retained Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno, Figueiredo retained Jan Blachowicz vs Ankalaev, title remained vacant Grasso vs Shevchanko, Grasso retains

As usual, UFC is committed to its business model of propping up young, up-and-coming talent on the backs of aged veterans who are dragging themselves to the Octagon due to their inability to let go and/or their need for money.
That being said, while we know Tony is a shadow of his former shadow, Paddy Pimblett's UFC performances demonstrate him to be the least-skilled when compared to the last six of Tony's opponents. But win or lose, it's criminal to keep letting Tony get beat up out there. It's like watching late career BJ Penn or Chuck Liddell at his point.

Tony is always entertaining to watch. I'm wondering about his bottom game against the Paddy as he may be the stronger grappler and have advantage if he gets him on his back, and since I just watched Tony vs Bobby Green. I'll pick Paddy by decision.
I don't get why ya'll don't like Paddy.

I like him, but I didn't like when he turned on Ariel Helwani and started brown nosing Dana. I think he's a fun fighter he just doesn't know when to shut up sometimes.
As for everyone else, they're all just mad about that Jared Gordon decision.

He didn't look great in that decision and after, and his kingship can be annoying, but that's what makes him entertaining also.
As a fighter I think he is somewhat underrated. We'll just have to see.

That would be awesome. I wouldn’t mind seeing him share the octagon with Izzy either.
