UFC flyweight contender Alexa Grasso moved one step closer to a potential title shot with a unanimous decision win over Viviane Araújo at UFC Vegas 62.
Grasso and Araújo battled for five full rounds in the UFC Vegas 62 main event. The two flyweights looked to continue their recent winning streaks in each of their first career UFC headliners.
It was a feeling-out process over the first two rounds for both women, as they each provided unsuccessful traps for each other on the feet. As the fight went on, the pace picked up on the feet, and Grasso got the better of the exchanges with her boxing.
Grasso also avoided submission danger on the ground when Araújo gained top mount at various times during the fight. She also had her way in the clinch with brutal elbow strikes, especially in Rounds 4 and 5.
After 25 minutes of action, Grasso left the Octagon victorious for her first-career five-round win.
