Taking on Viviane Araujo in August
Grasso will fight Viviane Araujo on the UFC's Aug. 13 card, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After a roller-coaster start to Grasso's career, she has seemed to have found her form recently, winning three straight contests, including her first via submission last time out versus Joanne Wood. Araujo has one of her last four bouts as well, so this could be a pretty good fight between two top-10 fighters in the flyweight division. Grasso stands an inch taller than her opponent but will yield an inch of reach.

Strong run continues
Grasso defeated Joanne Wood via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:57 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.
ANALYSIS
It's the first submission win of Grasso's career and her first stoppage win in nine UFC bouts. Alexa is primarily known as an undersized, technical striker, but some awkward exchanges along the fence allowed her to get Wood to the mat on a couple occasions, the second of which put her in perfect position to clamp on the rear-naked choke that ended the fight. Grasso's ceiling would appear to be somewhat limited because she lacks both power and overall athleticism, but she's deceptively strong and exceedingly durable. A winner of three straight and four of five, Grasso probably has enough in the intangible department to help cover some potential holes in her game.

Returning to Octagon in March
Grasso is scheduled to face Joanne Wood (hand) in a flyweight fight March 26 at the UFC's event in Columbus, Alexander K. Lee of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Grasso (13-3-0) was originally scheduled to face Wood (15-7-0) at UFC Vegas 43 in November, but the former had to back out of the bout for an undisclosed reason.
