In her last outing, she had arguably one of the greatest finishes (against Maycee Barber) in female combat sports history. I like to think of it as the female equivalent of Demetrious Johnson finishing Ray Borg &#8212; the fluidity of the transition from piecing her up into the submission was flawless, textbook. The definition of killer instinct. See it again here:<\/p>\n<p>But that got me thinking: Grasso isn&#8217;t someone who&#8217;s going to end up in the Hall of Fame. Is the fate of this finish, the height for which it will be remembered, simply as a UFC highlight reel? Or instead, should the UFC Hall of Fame have a &#8220;Greatest Finishes Wing,&#8221; similar to its &#8220;Fight Wing,&#8221; only those fights honor both fighters, and the Finishes Wing would only honor the finisher.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts? Think Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort (or Forrest Griffin, or Stephan Bonnar). Those fights don&#8217;t necessarily deserve a place in the Fight Wing, but do they as finishes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I tried to ask this question during this week&#8217;s mail bag, but I didn&#8217;t get it in on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":889095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,40762,43768,785,85,1396],"class_list":["post-889094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-midnight-mania","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=889094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/889095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=889094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=889094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=889094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
