Alexa Grasso is set to make her highly anticipated return to the octagon at UFC 315, facing rising contender Natalia Silva in a flyweight showdown. The fight will take place on May 10 at the Bell Center in Montreal, marking Grasso’s first fight since losing her women’s flyweight title.
The past few years have been a rollercoaster for Alexa Grasso (16-4-1), defined by her intense rivalry with former flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko. Grasso shocked the world at UFC 285 in 2023, securing a fourth-round submission victory over Shevchenko to claim the title. Their rematch at Noche UFC ended in a controversial split draw, allowing Grasso to retain her championship. However, in their highly anticipated trilogy bout at UFC 306, Shevchenko reclaimed the belt with a dominant unanimous decision victory.
Now, Grasso is on a mission to reclaim her spot at the top of the flyweight division, but standing in her way is a formidable challenger.
Since joining the UFC in 2022, Natalia Silva (18-5-1) has remained undefeated, racking up an impressive six-fight winning streak. The No. 5-ranked flyweight secured a massive victory over former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade at UFC Vegas 97, proving that she is ready for top-tier competition. Silva’s well-rounded skills and momentum make her a dangerous opponent for Grasso.
With both fighters eager to make a statement, UFC 315 promises an electrifying battle. As Grasso looks to bounce back and Silva aims to continue her unbeaten streak, this fight could have major implications for the flyweight division.
