The latest episode of “The Ultimate Fighter” (TUF) has stirred up unexpected challenges for trainers, fighters and UFC president Dana White. TUF 32 features current UFC flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko as head coaches. During the format of the show, fighters are selected and form interactive teams, participating in rigorous training sessions under their instruction.
In the second half of the season, a tournament was abruptly canceled for medical reasons. This scene brings back unpleasant memories of last year’s TUF 31 season when Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler starred as coaches. Here is what happened this time.
Dana White feels Déjà vu
In a clip from TUF 32 shared on X, it was revealed that “fight canceled due to frostbite sores occurred on consecutive TUF seasons” The video features a demonstration by Team Alexa Grasso fighter Omran Chaban no medical staff is reporting that he Team Valentina Shevchenko fighter Shamidkhan will not be able to compete in the upcoming fight against Magomedov.
Chaban revealed that the fight was postponed due to a cold round, and the fight has been rescheduled for next week. Both coaches were eager to get the fight going, but they had to comply because the medical board had made a decision. Then Dana White appeared, saying, “It’s crazy, almost the exact same situation happened last season (TUF 31: McGregor vs. Chandler), Trevor Wells and Timur Valiev arrived at the gym in on the day of battle, but the battle was postponed due to a cold sores”.
Often misunderstood and surrounded by misinformation, gonorrhea is often mistaken for sexually transmitted diseases. According to the source, the common cold, also known as the common cold, is a common viral infection triggered by a variety of factors such as high temperatures, extremely cold weather, illness or stress.
Since the show was filmed in Las Vegas, it’s not unusual for fighters to develop frostbite burns due to intense heat and stress but its just the coincidence of a series of hearsay encounters likewise the interruption of combat due to cold sores is noteworthy. Despite this setback, Alexa Grasso remains focused on her ultimate goal after TUF.
Grasso’s Determination to Settle the Score
Alexa Grasso is about to wrap up her match against Valentina Shevchenko. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated magazine, the reigning flyweight champion expressed his eagerness to fight Shevchenko. “I ask every day, I hope it happens at The Sphere. We’re still waiting for a report,” Grasso said.
The two women’s bitter rivalry began when Grasso defeated Shevchenko at UFC 285 in 2023 to win the flyweight title. Their rematch on “Noche UFC” later in the year ended in a controversial split, with Grasso retaining his title. Reflecting on her journey, Grasso said, “When I won the title, life changed in only one way, and that was that it made me work harder.” She is determined to defeat Shevchenko again and aims to become only the second fighter after Amanda Nunes to hold two wins over Shevchenko in the UFC.
