Alexa Grasso vs Maycee Barber
From the beginning of the fight, Grasso tried to make her punches decisive and precise, which did not happen due to a majority of the first round being spent glued to the fence. At the end of the first round, the American Maycee Barber dominated with a few strong and accurate shots that gave her some points in her favor. In the second round, Grasso managed to stand strong and land several powerful punches, which put Maycee Barber in a disadvantageous position, and ended the round with a series of punches and kicks with her incredible jiujitsu. It was a very close and exciting fight, but in the end, the judges gave the victory by unanimous decision to Alexa Grasso with a score of 29-28. This fight corresponds to UFC 258 on February 13, 2021.
Alexa Grasso vs Ji Yeon Kim
This fight took place at UFC Fight Night: Smith vs Rakic with Alexa Grasso vs the Korean Ji Yeon Kim. This was a completely favorable fight for Grasso. From the first blow to the last, it was known that she would take the victory, the question was what would it be like? Grasso was coming off a defeat against Carla Esparza in her last fight, so Grasso wanted to return to a path of victory. At the end of the fight, Grasso had counted 71 hits to the head, 18 kicks, and 21 to the body. Although she had certain problems with the weight in this new division for her, at the time of getting into the octagon she gave an excellent performance. The judges gave the victory to Alexa Grasso with a triple score of 30-27.

Finally, the third and last round was decisive for Grasso, where due to her punches and precise kicks, Kowalkiewicz did not get any space to defend herself. In total, 148 important blows were counted to Grasso, 2 behind the strawweight record.
