Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Alexa Grasso after UFC Fight Night 212 win?

Alexa Grasso was triumphant in her first octagon headliner Saturday when she outworked Viviane Araujo at UFC Fight Night 212.

Grasso (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) improved to 4-0 since she moved up to the women’s flyweight division with a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Araujo (11-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC) at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It was a key bout for the weight class, and now the MMA world is left wondering if she’s ready for a title shot.

With dominant 125-pound titleholder Valentina Shevchenko desperate for fresh challengers, should Grasso get the shot?

Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Grasso’s future after UFC Fight Night 212.
