Before pursuing the title, Alexa Grasso wants to compete in another UFC main event

“I don’t know. I have to wait because there’s an important fight, too,” Grasso said.

“It’s kind of like semifinals, but this is important. I have to wait. But definitely I faced a big challenge. First (time) 25 minutes fighting, and I hope I can do it again.

“I wish I can have another main event with one of the other girls – maybe the winner (Katlyn Chookagian vs. Manon Fiorot), No. 2, the ones that are at the top. I would like to test myself again 25 minutes before that (title fight). But if I have to go for the belt, I will do it.”

“I think five months is the perfect that you have to recover. I don’t want to rush, either. Right now, I feel good. But when you go home: ‘Oh my God, my shoulder. My knee.’ So I want to be 100 percent sure I’m good to be back in training and have a training camp. So twice a year fits perfect for me.”
