5 Best Female Fighters In UFC History

A Dream Fight That Never Happened and Probably Never Will.
A Dream Fight That Never Happened and Probably Never Will.

#1 Cris Cyborg (20-1)

GOAT?
GOAT?

There is no woman like Cyborg currently in MMA. She is leagues above her competition in all aspects – size, intensity, skills, and experience.

The Brazilian has won the Women’s Featherweight title in StrikeForce, Invicta FC and UFC. Barring her only loss in her very first professional fight, Cyborg has steamrolled past every opponent in her 10-year career. The problem is that her greatness comes along with its fair share of controversies.

Cyborg has tested positive for banned substances in the past and been accused of being a cheat. However, she hasn’t landed in trouble with USADA in the UFC and has two successful Featherweight title defenses, one of them being against Holly Holm.

Cheat or not, Cyborg is a genetic freak who fights like a monster every time she gets into the cage. Rousey was the only women who seemed worthy enough to take Cyborg down but we all know how that fight would pan out if it were to happen now.

Cyborg can take out any woman on the roster and maybe, even some of the guys on her best day. A clean Cyborg is still an intimidating opponent and Nunes would already be having sleepless nights as the two face each other at UFC 232 for the Featherweight title.

It’s the battle to determine who greatest female UFC fighter of all time?
