Alexa Grasso vs. Viviane Araujo

Alexa Grasso is currently on a roll with three straight wins after alternating between a win and loss in her first six promotional appearances. The Mexican scored an impressive first-round submission win over Joanne Wood last time out in March. Prior to that win, the 29-year-old picked up back-to-back unanimous decision victories over Ji Yeon Kim and Maycee Barber through 2020-21.

Meanwhile, her opponent Viviane Araujo is coming off a unanimous decision win over Andrea Lee in her last octagon outing in May earlier this year. The victory enabled her to rebound from a loss to Katlyn Chookagian a year ago. The Brazilian will now look to put together a win streak as she takes on the Mexican standout on October 15.

However, Grasso is a betting favorite in this one and has certainly looked more impressive than her opponent recently. The Mexican is expected to continue her strong form and cruise to another victory.

Verdict: Alexa Grasso
