GrapplingStriking
Former UFC and Strikeforce bantamweight champion and one of the pioneers of women's MMA, famous for her rivalry with Ronda Rousey and her 2016 title-winning choke of Holly Holm. She built her career on wrestling, submissions, and refusal to quit rather than polished striking. Now 39, she has lost her last fight to Yana Santos in May 2025 and has not competed since.
