We both fought for the title, we both want to fight for the title again. So, great fighter, she\u2019s a tough opponent. I love that. I love challenges. You know that I love challenges because they make me grow and they can make me better like so much. I\u2019m excited for this, and I can\u2019t wait. I can\u2019t wait to perform on (Saturday).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never like to pass through the thing that I have in front of me, which is Manon Fiorot this (Saturday). But I do know that having a good performance could keep me closer to the goal, the biggest goal that I want,\u201d Grasso said. \u201cSo, I just have (Saturday), Noche UFC, Manon Fiorot. It\u2019s also a big challenge for me, too, because last fight was amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to break my own expected things. It\u2019s hard to break your own expected things and your own records. I\u2019m just happy to be able to do what I love every single day. I love my job. I love to wake up every single day to do what I have to do because I love this. I\u2019m just happy and excited, and can\u2019t wait to be there in that octagon that night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quotes via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie-eu.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/ufc\/2026\/09\/07\/alexa-grasso-on-manon-fiorot-bout-at-noche-ufc-im-always-dangerous\/91649318007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MMA Junkie<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Who are you backing in this one?
