UFC Fight Night 271 results: Alexa Grasso violently KOs Maycee Barber

Alexa Grasso is back in the win column in a big way.

In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 271, former women's flyweight champ Grasso (17-5-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) shared the octagon with Maycee Barber for a rematch from their first meeting in 2021. Grasso took the first meeting on the scorecards, but this time around, she would end things with a violent knockout sequence at 2:42.

Barber (15-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) appeared comfortable on the feet early in the initial striking exchanges. Grasso was sharper to the punch as she put together sharp combinations. Then, out of nowhere, a laser of a left hand connected with Barber's jaw, spinning her to the canvas. Grasso instantly hopped on a rear-naked choke to secure the victory, but Barber was already out from the punch.

Barber was laid out on the canvas for an extended period while Grasso kneeled next to her, showing incredible sportsmanship after one of the most violent finishing sequences in recent memory.

During her post-fight interview, instead of calling out an opponent, Grasso asked the UFC to bring an event to her hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico.

Grasso has now won both bouts against Barber, yet this one marked a return to the win column for the former champ after a three-fight stretch without a victory. For Barber, her seven-fight winning streak comes to an end at the hands of the woman who defeated her before going on a stellar run.
