Giorgina Uzcategui Badell, a Venezuelan-born entrepreneur and CEO, is the founder of Future & Energy, a Miami-based renewable energy company she launched in 2022. She is raising her family in Madrid following an out-of-court divorce settlement with UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria in February 2026.
Early Life and Education
Born in November 1996 in Venezuela, Uzcategui grew up in Spain before moving to the United States in her twenties. She studied Business Administration and Marketing at Miami Dade College around 2015–2016, then earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a focus on entrepreneurship at Suffolk University in Boston.
Before founding her own companies, she worked as a sales and marketing specialist for the Sanclemente group and in social media marketing and fashion influencer roles for Aurate New York. In 2020, she joined Douglas Elliman Real Estate as a licensed real estate agent, which sharpened her commercial instincts before she pivoted into green energy.
From Intern to CEO: Building Future & Energy
Uzcategui Badell is the founder and chief executive of Future & Energy, a Miami-based company focused on sustainable solutions for homeowners. According to her LinkedIn profile, the company initially specialised in solar energy before expanding into water treatment and other home sustainability services.
Her LinkedIn profile describes her role as: "I'm the Founder and Head of Strategy and Growth at Future&, a business ecosystem focused on residential restoration, water treatment solutions, and healthier home environments across the United States." She also maintains a significant social media presence, with 768K Instagram followers, which contributes to her revenue through branding and collaborations.
Income Sources and Business Ventures
Uzcategui's income streams include Future & Energy (solar energy and sustainable home solutions in Miami), Future Alkaline Water (wellness and hydration brand), Future Home Restoration (residential services), real estate as a licensed agent with Douglas Elliman, and brand partnerships and sponsorships via Instagram. She is also an ambassador for the Seeds of Life Foundation.
Relationship with Ilia Topuria and Divorce
Topuria and Uzcategui first met at a dinner around 2018 in Miami's social scene. After Topuria's victory over Josh Emmett in June 2023, she posted a tribute on Instagram, as reported by Daily Express: "Every moment of sacrifice was worth it... You are the child of God and I always accompany you to achieve this victory. In my eyes, you have always been the champion of the world inside and outside the octagon."
The couple separated in August 2025. Topuria filed for divorce in Spain in October 2025. In December 2025, Uzcategui filed a domestic violence complaint against Topuria, which he publicly denied. In an interview with Alfredo Auditore on the ALF Global podcast, Topuria said: "Yes, I would say it was a disappointment in my life. No one wants to break up with their family, especially when at your house there is a little daughter."
Post-Divorce Settlement and Custody
By February 2026, the former couple reached an out-of-court settlement, and Uzcategui withdrew her domestic violence complaint. In the settlement, Topuria kept his home gym in Madrid. Uzcategui has custody of their daughter, who lives in Madrid, with an extensive visitation schedule for Topuria. Through her legal team, Uzcategui said the matter was strictly a family legal matter and she would not make public comments to respect the privacy of those involved, including the two children.
The separation became tabloid fodder in Spain, and Uzcategui faced online harassment following the split. She filed a formal complaint with the relevant authorities in response to the online harassment.
Net Worth and Recent Developments
Multiple media reports estimate Uzcategui Badell's net worth at approximately $1 million, with her finances believed to be in the low seven-figure range as of 2026, attributed to her entrepreneurial ventures in renewable energy and online businesses.
In mid-2026, during the build-up to Topuria's UFC Freedom 250 title fight against Justin Gaethje, Gaethje used the public breakup as a taunt. Topuria defended his ex-wife on X: "Justin crossed a line. What happened between my ex-wife and me is our business. We may no longer be together, but she is the mother of my daughter. To everyone insulting her or speaking about things they know nothing about: show some respect."
Uzcategui Badell continues to build her independent identity as an entrepreneur and mother, with clean energy and sustainable home solutions remaining central to her professional journey. Her story highlights her role as CEO and founder, raising her family in Madrid while expanding the Future& business ecosystem.
