Alexa Grasso Bio

Alexa Grasso is a Mexican mixed martial artist from Guadalajara who competes in the UFC women’s flyweight division. As of September 13, 2026, UFC lists her as an active athlete who trains at Lobo Gym MMA. Grasso is 5 feet 5 inches tall and has competed professionally since 2012, building her career from an early striking base into a more complete MMA game.

Grasso reached the UFC after competing in Invicta FC and made her Octagon debut in November 2016. Her defining championship milestone came at UFC 285 on March 4, 2023, when she submitted longtime flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko to capture the UFC women’s flyweight title. Grasso and Shevchenko fought to a split draw in their rematch later that year, before Shevchenko regained the belt by decision in their September 2024 trilogy bout. Grasso’s approach remains centered on boxing, but her title-winning submission and later work show the broader skill set she has developed at flyweight.
