Jorge Masvidal’s name is synonymous with epic fights and an attitude that has made him a fan favorite in the MMA sphere. With his viral 5-second knockout of Ben Askren, and claiming the inaugural BMF title against Nate Diaz in 2019, ‘Gamebred’ decided to step away from the Octagon in 2023 after a string of tough losses. Yet, as thunderous as his career inside the cage was, retirement has shifted his focus to quieter, more personal victories. This time, the spotlight isn’t on his fists, but on his heart.
The Miami native recently revealed a new chapter in his story—a journey into matrimony. Sharing the heartwarming update on social media with his legion of followers, Masvidal has now piqued the fan’s interest in the question, who is the woman by his side in this chapter of his life?

In a recent post shared on his Instagram account, Jorge Masvidal shared a picture of himself with his wife, celebrating their wedding together in Peru. The historic Peruvian sanctuary of Machu Picchu played host to a union as striking as his career highlights. With a caption that read, “Love ju forever”, the former BMF shared a glimpse of a different side of himself with his fans.
Masvidal’s wife is Alexandra Morillo, a name that might not ring any bells in the MMA circle but commands respect in the worlds of fashion of pageantry. A 25-year-old model and beauty queen, Morillo divides her time between Miami, Lima, and New York.
Born to Gilmer Luciano Morillo Moreno and Janet Gutiérrez Goyzueta, Morillo grew up in Peru before pursuing her education in Business Administration at the University of Lima, graduating in 2021. But her journey didn’t stop at academia. She carved out a niche in the modeling world, with accolades that tell the story of her ambition and poise.
Her résumé also glitters with multiple titles! She was a finalist at Elite Model Look Peru 2016, reached the top 10 of Miss Asia Pacific International 2019, and clinched the crown of Miss World Peru Lima 2020. Most recently, she added Miss Peru USA 2023 to her growing list of accomplishments. But Alexandra’s beauty isn’t confined to the pageant stage—she also devotes time to non-profits focused on environmental care.
As fans continue to marvel at Jorge Masvidal’s iconic MMA career, they now have another reason to celebrate his journey. His marriage isn’t just a personal milestone, it’s a testament to a man whose story keeps evolving, because ‘Gamebred’ has recently indicated that he’s raring to get back inside the Octagon once again!

Masvidal wants to return in 2025 and is aiming at Conor McGregor or Leon Edwards
Jorge Masvidal is gearing up for an explosive return, and he’s bringing his signature swagger with him. The original BMF champion has marked April 2025 for his comeback at a UFC pay-per-view in Miami. Who’s he eyeing? Two of the biggest names in the sport—Conor McGregor and Leon Edwards.
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie in Spanish, the Miami native confirmed, “I’d like for it to be Conor (McGregor) because I heard he also wants to fight on that same date.” But here’s the twist: McGregor has never uttered Masvidal’s name. Why? According to ‘Gamebred’, “He’s never mentioned my name because he knows I’ll rip his head off. However, if him and the UFC make that mistake, I’ll take his head off in Miami in April.”

If McGregor doesn’t bite, Masvidal is more than willing to settle old scores with Leon Edwards. Their history is as fiery as it gets. Remember the infamous backstage “three-piece and a soda” altercation? Masvidal further shared, “If not, Leon Edwards. He and I have history, and it’s time to settle it. He’s not booked, and neither am I. Let’s go, sign the contract, and I’ll break your face.”
As Masvidal gears up for a potential return to the UFC, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Whether it’s the long-anticipated clash with Conor McGregor or a fiery clash with Leon Edwards, one thing is certain: ‘Gamebred’ is far from done writing his story. The question isn’t just who he’ll face but how this new chapter will shape his legacy. Are we witnessing the rebirth of Jorge Masvidal? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
