UFC female flyweight fighter Alexa Grasso created history and became the champ at UFC 285. She secured the belt from one of the greatest female fighters of all time, Valentina Shevchenko. Grasso dominated The Bullet and submitted her via face crank on March 4, 2023. Although she has been in the headlines for her heroics lately, Alexa Grasso just created news for all the wrong reasons.
During her fight camp for the UFC 285 fight, Alexa trained with amateur men’s flyweight fighter, Omar Marquez (amateur MMA record 2-0). On January 25, Omar posted a photo with Alexa on Instagram and revealed that they had a great session of Muay Thai training. He also had a hunch about Alex beating Valentina and he called the Mexican fighter the next UFC champion. Being the nice human being she is, Alex replied that she was grateful for the support.
However, both fighters posted their messages in Mexican, so the English-speaking fans had to rely on the translation tool provided by the social media site. While Omar’s post seemed to have an accurate translation, the reply from Alex had a bizarre translation to English. Grasso’s message translated to, “every day! We’re going to make it thank you for your support always! And for the f**k.”
Upon reading the comment, fans were taken aback by the translation. Instagram user po_lo7088 wrote, “this is crazy holy sh*t.” Another user, jesusbaldemars, could not believe what they read and wrote, “say what now? Who’s the clown?” User korinacortes seemed pretty convinced that Alexa and Omar seemingly hooked up and claimed, “well they did it!” But user _4twentty_‘s comment perhaps summed up the general fan reaction and simply added, “wtf.”
Who is Alexa Grasso dating?
Alexa Grasso is a very private person. She was born on August 9, 1993, in Guadalajara, Mexico. While there is a very limited amount of information available about her life outside the Octagon, her father Luis Grasso plays a big role in her life. She trains out of Lobo Gym MMA and fights out of her hometown of Guadalajara. But that is the extent of the knowledge that is available about her.
Recently, there were reports that linked Grasso and the interim featherweight title holder, Yair Rodriguez together. There have been occasions when Yair and Alexa were seen together, most notably during a UFC gym opening in Mexico. Alexa and Yair also attended a pro-wrestling event together to support Cain Velasquez.
After Grasso and Pereira got their hands on UFC gold, there was an iconic photo of all three Mexican champions, Brandon Moreno, Alexa Grasso, and Yair Rodriguez together with their respective titles. While Rodriguez and Grasso seem to share a very cordial relationship, there is no confirmation of them being in a relationship. Both Yair and Alexa have kept their dating life out of the limelight.
