The fact that Cris Cyborg has not lost a fight since 2005 is enough to justify her inclusion in the list. The reigning UFC Women’s Featherweight champion started her career back in 2005 with a defeat against Erica Paes.

She followed up this loss with seven straight victories that landed her a fight against Gina Carano for the Strikeforce Women’s Featherweight championship. The showdown with Carano proved to be the turning point in Cyborg’s career as the first round victory she secured catapulted her to the top. 10 years and 12 fights later, Cyborg still remains on top of the food chain.

The Brazilian currently holds a professional record of 20-1 to her name and was crowned the UFC Featherweight champion when she defeated Tonya Evinger at UFC 214. Prior to her run in the UFC, Cyborg also left her mark in Invicta Fighting Championship where she was the Featherweight champion.
