Amanda Nunes

The best female MMA fighter of all time is Amanda Nunes, who has accomplished everything in just six years. Her matchup with Ronda Rousey at UFC 207’s main card event drew over a million PPV purchases.  Rousey's return to the sport was thwarted by Nunes, who defeated her in just under a minute. 

Ronda Rousey

She won every divisional title in front of her during her amateur career and, after turning professional, sold out arenas all over the world. Ronda has been an Olympic bronze medalist.

Cris Cyborg

Cris Cyborg is the only fighter in MMA history to have won championships in each of the four main leagues. She has won gold at the IBFF and is a seasoned BJJ fighter.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk

It might be said that it is Joanna Jedrzejczyk who popularised the strawweight division. She made a name for herself in the division by dominating it from top to bottom.

Valentina Shevchenko

Known by the name "Bullet", she started concentrating only on MMA after compiling an incredible 55-1 record in the sport. Valentina naturally outclassed and outpunched everyone in her way to become the first-ever UFC flyweight champion. She has long held the title of supreme authority in the 125-pound weight class.

Rose Namajunas

She is also the first competitor to twice defeat Zhang Weili, the current 115-pound champion in the UFC. Rose was raised in poverty after being born to two Lithuanian refugees. Additionally, she has consistently used her position to raise awareness of mental health issues.

Holly Holm

The "Preacher's Daughter" left the squared circle and entered MMA. She has captured both the welterweight and light-welterweight world titles. She immediately won the UFC championship after defeating Rousey and accomplished the unbelievable.
