Mini bio
How it started.
Alexa’s route into fighting began in the family gym in Guadalajara. Her father introduced her to shadow boxing, and she took classes with her uncle Francisco Grasso. A national jiu-jitsu tournament, where she and Irene Aldana took first place, made her want to keep competing. She won her first professional MMA fight in December 2012.
Finding her stage.
She went unbeaten in four Invicta FC appearances before joining the UFC in November 2016. After competing at strawweight, she moved to flyweight in 2020. At UFC 285 on March 4, 2023, she submitted Valentina Shevchenko in the fourth round and became the first Mexican woman to win a UFC championship.
A champion and a coach.
Alexa retained the title with a split draw at the inaugural Noche UFC in September 2023. She coached opposite Shevchenko on The Ultimate Fighter’s 32nd season in 2024, then lost the belt in their third meeting that September. Her 2026 wins over Maycee Barber and Manon Fiorot brought her back into title contention.
