Former women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso returns to the octagon on March 28 in a rematch against No. 5 ranked Maycee Barber. The news was first reported by Krazy Kev MMA on Wednesday evening.
Grasso (16-5-1) was scheduled to face former two-time women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas on Jan. 24 at UFC 324 but was forced out of the fight due to injury. She’ll enter the rematch coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in her 13-year mixed martial arts career.
The two first fought in February 2021 at UFC 258: Usman vs. Burns. Grasso defeated Barber via unanimous decision that night in Las Vegas. It was the last time Barber lost a fight.
