GQ Mexico recently featured UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno, women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso, and interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez. Moreno hails from Tijuana, Grasso from Guadalajara, and Rodriguez from Parral.

Not surprisingly, the weirdos were quick to obsess over Grasso’s feet.
Moreno will look to retain his flyweight title against longtime nemesis Alexandre Pantoja in the UFC 290 co-main event, not long before Rodriguez attempts to unify the featherweight straps opposite Alexander Volkanovski. As for Grasso, she’s aiming to go up two-zip against former champion Valentina Shevchenko in September.
