UFC 310 is set to deliver fireworks, and Kron Gracie is ready to step back into the spotlight after nearly 600 days. Facing Bryce Mitchell, a fellow grappling specialist, Gracie is determined to prove he’s more than just a jiu-jitsu prodigy with a legendary last name. But as fight fans debate his chances in the octagon, another question keeps popping up, what about his personal life? Is Kron Gracie married? Does he have a girlfriend? Or has he chosen to remain as elusive in his personal life as he is dominant on the mats?
But here’s a fun fact to start, Kron was such a hot prospect early in his career that he was featured as a playable character in the EA Sports MMA video game back in 2010, long before he had even fought in MMA. People saw something special in him and the question now is whether he can live up to that potential at UFC 310 this weekend.

If you’re here looking for juicy details about the 36-year-old’s love life, you might be left guessing. The enigmatic fighter keeps his personal affairs up tighter than an arm bar. No wife, no kids, and no public sightings of a girlfriend. The Gracie family tree, famously analyzed by jiu-jitsu enthusiasts everywhere, doesn’t suggest any major updates from Kron’s side.
If we are to assume he is probably single now, honestly, it tracks. Representing the Gracie name, which is synonymous with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, has always been Kron’s main focus. Is it possible that he’s choosing to stay single, or at least keep things under wraps to channel all his energy onto the mats?
That kind of focus wouldn’t be surprising, considering the legacy he carries. With a family so deeply rooted in martial arts history, maybe Kron simply feels there’s no room for distractions. Do you think staying private about his relationships might be part of his strategy to stay sharp? Perhaps there is more to it that we don’t know.

Kron Gracie’s life story is as fascinating as his fighting style. Did you know he’s a decorated grappler with achievements that most practitioners can only dream of? He’s an ADCC champion (2013), IBJJF World Champion, and even a Pan American Champion multiple times over. His jiu-jitsu credentials alone make him stand out, but transitioning to MMA hasn’t been without its challenges.
Despite his grappling accolades, Kron hasn’t stepped into the octagon since his challenging loss to Charles Jourdain at UFC 288. The fight sparked criticism of his approach, with fans and analysts alike calling for him to evolve his game. But if there’s one thing this Gracie has proven, it’s his resilience. He’s openly acknowledged the shortcomings in his performance and has vowed to showcase a more dynamic skill set.
The pressure is immense, not just to win, but to live up to the Gracie name. Adding to this weight is the absence of direct emotional support from his father, the legendary Rickson Gracie, who is now battling Parkinson’s disease. Rickson, once a central figure in Kron’s training, has stepped back to let his son carve his own path. “I’m rooting for him to do a great fight,” Rickson shared. “He didn’t want to be ‘the son of Rickson Gracie’ anymore.” His words, filled with respect and pride, underline a father’s unwavering support as Kron works to establish his identity in the MMA world.
