Alexa Grosso (16-5-1) versus Maycee Barber (15-2-0) is a UFC Women’s Flyweight Co-Main Event on Saturday night at the Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle. Alexa Grasso will be fighting hard to bounce back from her latest loss coming against Natalia Silver in May 2025. Grasso, who joined the franchise in November 2016, is a one-time champion who submitted Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 285 to win the belt. She has since lost three straight fights, including a title match against Shevchenko.
Maycee “The Future” Barber, on the other side of the Octagon, will want to make a statement with a win, which could significantly boost her future title chances. Barber joined the franchise in 2018, winning via KO/TKO on her debut against Jamie Colleen. She went on to win her next three games before tasting defeats against Modafferi and Grasso. The Future will be keen to avoid another defeat on Saturday.

Our Alexa Grasso vs Maycee Barber Prediction
Grasso will come into this bout as the +150 betting underdog. At 32 years old, age is not on her side, although she still has enough gas in the tank to match the youthful energy of Barber. The former champion will be hoping to defeat Barber one more time and get herself back in the picture. However, Barber has matured since then to become a more polished striker. Still, she won’t expect to dogwalk her opponent, who is obviously more experienced and has fought some of the best talents in the division. We think Barber will try to grind this bout out over three rounds and possibly make a statement.
Our prediction for Alexa Grasso vs Maycee Barber: Maycee Barber to win via decision.
