Irene Aldana has made quite the noise in the world of mixed martial arts with 15 victories as a professional mixed martial artist. The Mexican has often expressed her rage in the Octagon. But outside the cage, it’s a different story altogether.

Aldana is known for keeping her personal life private. This low-key and mysterious behavior has often made the fight fans wonder about the UFC heartthrob’s relationship status. Today, let’s take a look at Irene Aldana’s love life, shall we?

All we know about Irene Aldana’s relationship status

The UFC bantamweight contender has left the fighting community with the benefit of the doubt and kept her love life to herself. While the entire world has been expressing their curiosity about her relationship status, no one actually knows if she’s married or dating someone. Nevertheless, there are speculations that the Mexican fighter is currently single.

This apparent singlehood has provided Aldana with an environment to put all of her energy into her fights. After all, she does aspire to become the fourth Mexican mixed martial artist to become a champion in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. With her arsenal filled with strong striking skills and phenomenal battle IQ, she has achieved victory over fearsome fighters like Macy Chiasson, and Vanessa Melo. 

Currently, Aldana is on a 1-fight winning streak, with her last victory against Karol Rosa at UFC 296. Even though she is a pretty impressive fighter, she was never able to secure a winning streak longer than a couple of fights. Nevertheless, Aldana seldom failed to excite the fight fans with her skills. 

Her secretive nature has also ignited the fans’ curiosity to know about her family and life before she entered the land of sanctioned fighting. Let’s find out everything there is to know about it!

Irene Aldana’s family and early life

Aldana was born on March 26, 1988, in Culiacan, a town in Mexico. But soon, she relocated to Guadalajara and pursued her dream of becoming a graphic designer. She admitted that she was pretty involved in sports. But her college didn’t allow her to work out for a couple of years. But when she found her way to Lobo Gym, she fell in love with MMA and stuck to becoming a professional fighter. It is indeed the gym where Alexa Grasso trains with her uncle and Diego Lopes. 

“I had a friend that trained at Lobo [Gym] and he would always talk to me about it. It was actually very funny because I would always drive by the gym, look at it and then leave, then I’d drive by it again, look at it, and leave. I did that for a whole week; it really had my attention, but I never had the courage to get out of the car. And one day, I said to myself, ‘something is calling me,’ so I decided to get out of the car, go in, and take a trial class. And that day I decided to stay,” Aldana once revealed.

Hailing from the same gym and locality, Grasso seems to have played a great role in turning Aldana into the fighter she is today. While almost nothing is known about her family and close ones, it’s pretty natural to believe that she has all the support that she needs from her folks. Now, Aldana is about to land against Norma Dumont at UFC 306, set to mark the fight promotion’s debut in the Sphere.
