The most dangerous female fighters in the UFC.

The MMA evolves as a sport, and fairer sex has become a large part of it. Ronda Rousey was a pioneer, and she`s still considered one of the most masterful and well-known. Several high-class female fighters have come to the MMA over the last 5 years, and each of them guarantees spectacular and robust fights.

Amanda Nunes

Nunes is the first woman that has ever been a champ in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions. She has a streak of 11 wins in a row and isn’t going to stop. “The Lioness” is the homicidal Brazillian striker that is sweeping away every opponent in her way. If someone asks you – what`s the definition of the heart of a champion, show them any of “The Lioness” fights.

Valentina Shevchenko

 Shevchenko is another high-class striker and a current flyweight champion. Her nickname, “The Bullet”, doesn`t come from nowhere. Before the UFC, Valentina was an 11-times world Muay Thai champion and possesses one of the most devastating leg-striking technique. Her talent and dedication are the reasons she has a 6-fight win streak and remains one of the most severe threats to Nunes` bantamweight championship.

Joanna Jędrzejczyk

Don`t get confused by the size of this Polish killing machine with her murderous Muay Thai. Joanna`s record has been degraded by 4 losses over the previous 3 years, but she remains one of the most loved female fighters in the UFC.  Her fights are always a good old bloodbath and that`s why many fans still believe she`s going to return in better shape than before.

Rose Namajunas

“Thug Rose” had a complicated childhood, and the MMA has become a way to cope with it. She practiced Taekwondo, then karate, Jiu-jitsu, and kick-boxing. Rose has become a finalist of the 20^th season of The Ultimate Fighter. She is an extra-class striker with the dangerous jiu-jitsu. 5 out of 8 of her wins were submissions.  She lost her strawweight title to Jéssica Andrade, and their rematch on the 11^th of May was canceled due to the pandemic.
