UFC strawweight Alexa Grasso is set to face off against Randa Markos in tomorrow night’s UFC Fight Night 114 event in Mexico city. However, the fighter suffered a complication in her weight management and has missed weight for the event by a large margin.
Missing weight by 4 pounds, Alexa Grasso has now gone to social media to explain the reasoning behind her missed weight. Over Instagram the fighter stated the following message, as translated below.
“Today was the weighing of #UFCMEXICO and unfortunately did not give the weight. First of all I want to apologize to UFC and especially to my opponent Randa Markos.
“I know that failure in weight is not good or excuse, I had never failed in any weighing. My food and all my camp was excellent, I had the bad luck to be in my period and the serious thing is that I had an infection in the urinary tract.
“The doctors checked me and together with my team decided that it was better to stop the cut and start with antibiotics as soon as possible. I want you to know what happened and that my health is always first. The fight is still on and tomorrow I’ll leave everything on the octagon. Thank you for your understanding and support.”
