UFC flyweight champion and pound-for-pound number one Alexa Grasso received a special gift from her beloved football club, Guadalajara. The club decided to honor her status as a living legend of Mexican sport. The gift was a new official kit for 'The Sacred Flock', personalized with her name and the number one, symbolizing her top position in the UFC world rankings. Grasso, visibly moved, shared the unboxing on her Instagram stories, thanking the club for the gesture: 'Thank you so much, Chivas!'. She has been seen on multiple occasions at the Akron Stadium supporting the team, and the club has used her image as an example of 'tapatía perseverance and success'. This gesture from Chivas comes at a key time for Alexa, who is in full physical preparation for her 2026 commitments, focusing on defending her legacy in the world's most famous cage. For the rojiblancos institution, Alexa Grasso represents the values of identity and effort they seek to project. As the first woman born in Mexico to conquer a UFC championship, her figure transcends combat sports, becoming a cultural icon for Jalisco, just like Mexico's most popular football team. Alexa's post with the Chivas jersey garnered thousands of 'likes' in minutes, with fans asking for the fighter to be the one to give the starting kickoff or be the 'honorary ambassador' for the next Clásico Nacional.
