Terrifying Moment MMA Fighter Left Unconscious After 'One of the Craziest Finishes Seen' in UFC
Grasso ended a three-fight winless streak with a first-round submission, while Barber recovered after being unconscious for over a minute, UFC officials said.
- On Saturday, Alexa Grasso defeated Maycee Barber at UFC Fight Night 271 in Seattle, securing a first-round victory at Climate Pledge Arena with a pinpoint left hand followed by a rear-naked choke.
- Barber entered the octagon on a seven-fight winning streak, seeking to avenge her previous loss to Grasso at UFC 258 in February 2021. The bout marked a rematch between the two rivals.
