Women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko talked about the weaknesses of her next opponent Alexa Grasso at a press conference before UFC 285.
It's not just about weaknesses, it's also about fears. It's already between us, because I know her fears, she knows her fears, and they will work against her the whole fight. You will see Alexa's weaknesses in the fight as I'm going to use them.
