Alexa Grasso Asks For Support After Breaking Her Leg in Training

Alexa Grasso is having a hard 2024.

Former UFC Flyweight champion Alexa Grasso shared some unfortunate news with her followers on Monday evening. Grasso revealed in an Instagram post that she suffered a broken leg during training. To accompany the announcement, she posted a picture of her leg in a cast, confirming she won’t be back in the Octagon in the near future.

“I broke my leg training. But I’m fine… everything heals… time by time. Send me a lot of love so that the bone heals well, please.”

This injury follows her title loss in September at UFC 306, where she fought Valentina Shevchenko in a hard-fought trilogy bout. Grasso had previously defeated Shevchenko by submission and fought to a draw in their second matchup. However, in their most recent fight, Shevchenko won by unanimous decision, leaving Grasso without a clear path back to the title.

Now pushed back in the contender lineup, Grasso faces a significant recovery period. At 31, she still has time to bounce back from this setback, but with the year coming to a close, her return in 2024 seems unlikely. Due to limited details on the injury, a specific timeline for her comeback remains uncertain.
