#4. Miesha Tate - 2.1M followers
Miesha Tate is a former UFC women's bantamweight champion who is likely one win away from another title shot, this time at flyweight. She was also one-half of the biggest rivalry women's MMA has ever seen as she fought Ronda Rousey on two occasions. These factors explain why she has become so popular.
Tate surprisingly began her UFC career with two straight losses before going on a five-fight winning streak that saw her win bantamweight gold. She's had a lengthy career inside the octagon now and her numerous battles against a number of top stars have seen her become a very popular fighter.
Tate has fought the likes of Ronday Rousey, Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes. Should she beat Lauren Murphy in her next bout, she could then face Valentina Shevchenko for the title. As popular as she currently is, it seems as though she could become even more so soon enough.
#3. Holly Holm - 2.4M followers
Miesha Tate may have beaten Holly Holm the only time they fought, but 'The Preacher's Daughter' ranks higher on this list. The main reason for this is that she was able to do what Tate could not and defeat the seemingly invincible Ronda Rousey. That was the biggest moment in women's MMA history.
Holm's shocking head-kick knockout of Rousey made her an instant star. While she lost the title in her next fight, she has fought for the title on three different occasions since. She likely would have been set for another championship opportunity had she not lost a controversial split decision to Ketlen Viera in her most recent bout.
It will now be interesting to see where Holm goes from here. Perhaps a rematch with Viera would allow her to resume the momentum she had been building prior to that fight. She's also expressed interest in returning to boxing one day and the popularity of the likes of Katie Taylor could give her some options in that sport too.
