Yesterday Alexa Grasso missed the 116-pound limit for her strawweight fight against Randa Markos. Grasso was fined 20 percent of her fight purse but the fight would go on as scheduled. Grasso earned a decision victory in her home country in a very exciting fight.
Niko Price moves to 10-0-1, remaining undefeated after a first round TKO over Alan Jouban.
