Megan Olivi and Joseph Benavidez are expecting their first child
Megan Olivi and Joseph Benavidez began dating in 2009 before getting married six years later. Nearly a full decade after tying the knot, the couple are expecting their first child.
The MMA reporter took to Instagram earlier this month to happily share the news with her friends and followers. She shared a photo of her and the four-time UFC flyweight title challenger where he was holding a newspaper that read their first child is on the way and arriving in the summer, captioning the post:
"We have waited so long to say this - Baby Benavidez will debut this summer. We are beyond grateful for this beautiful blessing ♥️"

It is unclear how the pregnancy will affect Olivi's duties as the UFC's roving reporter. While she was originally scheduled to work at UFC 312, she ultimately was not present for the card, which took place in Sydney, Australia.
The long-time commentator did return at UFC Fight Night 251 the following weekend as the card was in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, she was not present at UFC Fight Night 252 in Seattle, Washington this weekend. It appears as if Olivi will likely only appear on cards in Las Vegas.
