Who is the man in Alexa Grasso's life? Learn about the Mexican UFC champion’s rumored boyfriend 

UFC women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso has a discreet love life, but her rumored boyfriend may be hiding in plain sight for UFC fans.

Grasso is reportedly dating or was in a relationship with former UFC interim featherweight champion and compatriot Yair Rodriguez. Although the two have not confirmed or publicly posted about their relationship, they have been spotted together on various occasions.

The pair were together for the opening of a UFC gym in Mexico and sat down for an interview. They were also pictured together in 2016 at the MTV Millennial Awards held at the Pepsi Center WTC in Mexico City, Mexico.

Check out their joint interview on YouTube below:

Grasso and Rodriguez formed two-thirds of the Mexican trio of champions in the UFC alongside two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno until recently. However, both men lost their titles at the UFC 290 event that took place in July 2023.

Grasso was crowned the women's flyweight champion after dethroning the dominant Valentina Shevchenko with a face crank in the fourth round of their UFC 285 co-main event fight. She retained the title with a split draw in a closely contested rematch that headlined the historic Noche UFC event in September 2023.

Translation error sparks rumors about Alexa Grasso’s relationship status

Alexa Grasso is known for her professional conduct and respectful demeanor. She tends to keep her personal life away from the glitter and glamor of the sports entertainment industry and rarely makes a questionable choice of words.

However, an auto-translation error on Instagram sparked rumors about her relationship status back in January 2023. Grasso trained with her teammate Omar Marquez for her UFC 285 showdown against Valentina Shevchenko. Marquez posted a picture of himself with Grasso on his Instagram account following a Muy Thai training session.

The UFC flyweight champion commented on the post to thank her teammate for helping her prepare for the title fight. However, the interaction occurred in Spanish language and Instagram’s English translation resulted in a weird statement:

The weird translation of Grasso's comment led to fans speculating about her relationship

“Every day! We’re going to make it thank you for your support always! And for the f***.”

Fans reacted hilariously to the comment and speculated about a potential romantic relationship budding between the teammates. Realizing the error, Grasso deleted the comment later.
