Megan Olivi is a UFC correspondent and presenter. Olivia, one of UFC broadcast’s most recognizable figures, has drawn considerable interest in her private life and her husband, Joseph Benavidez. Fans want to know more about him, his job, and the history of his relationship with Olivi.
Who is Megan Olivi’s husband?
Megan Olivi’s husband is Joseph Benavidez, a mixed martial artist who predominantly fought in the flyweight division of the sport. Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Benavidez began his MMA career in 2006 in the bantamweight division. In 2011, following the merger between World Extreme Cagefighting and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Benavidez became part of the roster of the latter organization. In 2012, Benavidez began competing in the UFC’s 125-pound weight class.

In 2023, Benavidez became a real estate agent for KW Sports + Entertainment based in Las Vegas, Nevada. “Joseph [Benavidez] will operate closely with the #KWSE Executive Leadership to not only serve our real estate clients, but also expand our client network to build mentorship, industry connections and real estate opportunities for all KWSE agents across North America through his personal sphere,” the company mentioned in an Instagram post at the time.
