Mexican MMA, specifically in the UFC, has taken a hit.
Recently, Mexico had two undisputed UFC champions in Brandon Moreno and Alexa Grasso, an interim UFC champion in Yair Rodriguez and a title challenger in Irene Aldana, who was slated to fight women’s MMA great Amanda Nunes.
Fast-forward to 2025 and all that is gone. There are no Mexican UFC champions or current contenders scheduled to fight for a belt.
