When we talk about UFC fighters, our attention mostly diverts towards their records and what happens inside the Octagon. However, several UFC stars often find themselves subjected to a common question: their relationship status! From marriage proposals to fans swooning over, the current UFC women’s flyweight champion, Alexa Grasso is certainly one of the most attractive female UFC fighters.

Consequently, a curiosity about her relationship status isn’t all that surprising after all. So let’s take a peek at all that is known of Alexa Grasso’s relationship status, who’s gearing up for her second title defense at UFC 306.

All we know about Alexa Grasso’s current relationship status

Well, like most UFC fighters, Alexa Grasso likes to keep her love life private. So, that is where we are limited in some aspects of her personal life, but as far as the relationship status of the flyweight champion goes, she seems to be dating an individual named Omar Laureano Marquez, who is also one of her training partners.

However, there has been no confirmation from either Omar Marquez or Alexa Grasso about them being in a relationship other than the fact that the former congratulated the latter’s UFC 285 win while calling her his “partner.” This rumor also took a similar turn to the speculations of Grasso being in a relationship with Rodriguez. And that is where we’re heading next – the rumors that the former interim featherweight champion might have a personal connection with Alexa Grasso.

Did Alexa Grasso and Yair Rodriguez date?

Alexa Grasso’s attitude matches that of her upcoming UFC 306 opponent, Valentina Shevchenko, in a few ways. Like ‘Bullet’, Grasso also likes keeping her interviews mostly about her fights and UFC-related issues. Hence, it’s quite understandable why there aren’t many sources talking about her relationship status.

But quite a few of them reported that Grasso was probably dating the noted former UFC Interim Featherweight champ, Yair Rodriguez. Both appeared together at the UFC Gym’s inauguration in Mexico and were also photographed together in 2016 at the MTV Millennial Awards held at the Pepsi Center WTC in Mexico City, Mexico.

This led to several fans saying that these two might be in a relationship. However, neither of the two has given out anything about the same. Hence, those fan speculations continue to be speculations to date. While dating is one thing, marriage is a whole other life-changing event and Alexa Grasso has made it clear as to when she’d consider tying the knot.

When will Alexa Grasso get married? The UFC champ reveals

Most readers might remember that the introductory part of this article hinted at an incident in one of Grasso’s live sessions. Grasso received a marriage proposal but left the fan heartbroken when she refused his proposal. However, the smile that followed Grasso’s refusal might have healed him a bit. Yet, this was also followed by an update on the fighter that she would have not necessarily addressed otherwise.

Grasso revealed that she wouldn’t be marrying without fulfilling her two immediate goals. Followed by a pleasant smile, Grasso said, “I need my UFC belt first…”. She also listed her second goal stating, “… and my black belt, Jiu-Jitsu black belt too”.

Well, most UFC fans are certainly aware of the fact that she has already accomplished her first goal. Nevertheless, Grasso currently stands at the distance of just a single step from accomplishing her second immediate goal. Most BJJ athletes probably know that they can earn a black belt only after they have showcased enough skills as a brown belt in the sport.

Reports say that Grasso received her BJJ brown belt in May 2023. Hence, she just needs to continue showcasing her prowess in BJJ, and the time won’t be far when she will be able to call herself a black belt as well. Now, if she stays true to considering marriage after that, only time will tell!
