UFC Noche i Las Vegas bjöd på flera underhållande matcher mellan topprankade fighters och framtida stjärnor.
Den världsledande MMA-organisationens yngsta fighter Raul Rosas Jr tog en imponerande seger när han avslutade Terrence Mitchell via TKO i den första ronden. Segern var 18-åringen andra seger i UFC sedan UFC-debuten på UFC 282 förra året.
Svenskan Josefine Knutsson tog även hon en imponerande seger i sin UFC-debut. 27-åringen tog sig an amerikanskan Marnic Mann på galans underkort. Knutsson dominerade matchen från den första sekunden och vann till slut via enhälligt domslut.
I galans huvudmatch drabbade UFC-mästarinnan i flugvikt Alexa Grasso samman med UFC-stjärnan Valentina Shevchenko. Matchen slutade oavgjort efter fem jämna ronder. Många inom MMA-världen hävdar dock att Shevchenko skulle ha tilldelats segern. Se reaktionerna nedan!
Can't remember Shevchenko ever being dropped before. And never hurt that badly. But a badly needed takedown for Valentina.

Woooooooow

I have it 48-47 Grasso.
Amazing that Grasso capitalizing on another rare Shevchenko mistake could lead to her retaining.
I think the 4th round decides it.

That’s not a draw. There’s no 10-8 round anywhere in that fight. 48-47 for Valentina is the correct scorecard, but could totally understand 48-47 Grasso too. #NocheUFC

An absolute corker of a fight! All timer in WMMA imo. And it ends in a draw! Wow wow, wow! Well done @AlexaGrasso and @BulletValentina! Incredible!

Split draw during a championship fight gotta be the only time a fighter is ok with that decision
— Terrance McKinney (@twrecks155) September 17, 2023
Not mad at the decision but I need to see that scorecard. 3rd fight in UFC Krygstzan
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) September 17, 2023
No loser in that performance! #UFCNoche amazing job both women.

Shevchenko won the 5th. Dominated most the round. Messed up and got mounted but escaped pretty quick. I’d still say shevchenko won round 5. YouTube video incoming
— michael (@bisping) September 17, 2023
Grasso won imo, she had the knockdown and the ending was significant, they swore it was 2-2 in the 5th, I’m cool with watching them fight again so that’s the plan.

Grasso-Shevchenko 2 is the 6th draw in UFC championship history. The others: Uno-Penn, Maynard-Edgar, Woodley-Thompson, Blachowicz-Ankalaev, and Moreno-Figueiredo. #NocheUFC

Former champ @BulletValentina Shevchenko thinks she did enough to win the title but has to settle for a split draw at #NocheUFC. Trilogy next?!? pic.twitter.com/CU7N41wZCU
