Winless streak hits three Grasso lost to Natalia Silva via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 315 on Saturday in Montreal. Impact Fighting someone other than Valentina Shevchenko for the first time since October 2022, Grasso simply had zero answers for the constant movement of Silva. To Alexa's credit, she realized she was behind and was constantly trying to make things happen, but Silva simply used her footwork to slide out of the way and pepper Grasso with counter shots. She was also unable to get the fight to the mat in the rare instances in which she tried. Chances are this was nothing more than a poor matchup for Grasso from a stylistic standpoint, but she simply can't afford many more losses at this point. Alexa theoretically should have some gas left in the tank at age 31, but without a win in her last three fights (0-2-1), she finds herself miles from re-entering the title picture at 125 pounds.
