Alexa Grasso, the UFC flyweight champion, has been in the news again and this time, it’s because she’s said to be dating amateur boxer Omar Marquez
Fans wondered if the two were more than just training partners after Grasso’s Instagram comment was mistranslated. Here is more you need to know.
Valentina Shevchenko was one of the best female fighters of all time, and Grasso took the flyweight belt from her. This made history, but Grasso has kept her personal life quiet. Even though Yair Rodriguez, another UFC fighter, has been linked to her in the past, Grasso has not revealed any relationships.

The comment, which was translated wrongly from Spanish, confused fans and made them wonder if the two were dating. Some fans thought it was a joke, but others were sure that Alexa Grasso and Marquez were actually dating.
