In the aftermath of UFC Noche’s controversial draw, speculation is rife on who Alexa Grass will fight next, with odds indicating Valentina Shevchenko might just be gearing up for a trilogy.

Valentina Shevchenko to be Alexa Grasso’s Next Fight in Trilogy a 5/4 Chance

Grasso’s recent title defense at UFC Noche in Mexico ended in a contentious split draw. The dispute arises from Judge Mike Bell’s decision to score round 5 a 10-8 in favor of Grasso, despite Shevchenko’s dominance.

Their history, marked by Grasso’s title win from Shevchenko earlier this year, makes the trilogy bout a logical next step. However, Shevchenko’s minor thumb injury might delay this matchup until 2024.

Grasso has hinted at her inclination for a new opponent. However, she’s also expressed willingness to heed fan opinion. Given the tight competition and captivating performances in her previous bouts with Shevchenko, a trilogy bout could be what fans are clamoring for.

According to our trading team, Shevchenko is 5/4 (+125) to be Grasso’s next opponent in a trilogy bout.

Erin Blanchfield Has 33% Chance to Be Grasso’s Next Opponent

Undefeated in the UFC, Erin Blanchfield is one of the main contenders in the division. After overcoming a challenging first round, she secured a decision win over former title contender Thaila Santos.

Her current trajectory suggests she could be a potent adversary for Grasso, and with odds of just 2/1 (+200) to be Grasso’s next fight, it can’t be ruled out.

Manon Fiorot Third Favorite to be Grasso’s Next UFC Bout

Renowned for her striking abilities, Manon Fiorot recently claimed victory over multiple-time strawweight champion Rose Namajunas.

Her current form positions her as a strong contender to challenge Grasso next. With odds of 9/4 (+225), this implies she has a roughly 30% chance to be Grasso’s next opponent.
