Top 10 UFC Female Fighters

Fighting isn't for everyone, and fighting women have had their fair share of detractors over the years. But as UFC becomes more accepted, more and more women are taking to the cage. Now UFC president Dana White created a new octagon not for the boys but for the girl. He introduces the UFFC (Ultimate Female Fighter Championship).

Here are the top 10 of the best known and most promising ladies in the UFC female fighters:

Michelle “Karate Hottie” Waterson – Absolutely smoking body, pretty little face, absolute perfection. Ladies please try not to cut her gorgeous face in the cage. She is also more than just a pretty face, she is clearly the best choice for the number one spot in the top ten hottest female MMA fighters.

Gina “Conviction” Carano – She is arguably one of the most famous female MMA fighters in the world, and not without good reason. Along with being absolutely drop-dead-gorgeous, she is clearly one one of the most dangerous out of the top ten hottest female MMA fighters.

Kyra Gracie – You read that right, Gracie. Not only would you have to deal with her if you hurt her, but you would have to deal with the whole Gracie family who are responsible for what the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is today. A native to Brazil, but lives and trains in the U.S.

Cris "Cyborg" Santos – Cris Santos is a fighter pure and simple. If you watch Cris fight, you can figure out where she got the nickname "Cyborg". Before getting into UFC, Cris Santos was a national-level handball player in Brazil. Cris trains at the Chute Boxe Academy with her husband, fellow UFC fighter Evangelista Santos. Her primary fighting styles are Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Her MMA record is 8-1-0, her only loss being in her very first fight against Erica Paes.

Kerry Vera – The wife of UFC great, Brandon Vera has had quite the start to her professional MMA career, including a win against fellow top ten nominee Kim Couture. The funny thing about that fight was that shortly before the wives went at it in the octagon, their husbands battled it out and Randy Couture came out victorious. In the case of the women, well payback was served and Kerry Vera earned the win.

Julie “Fireball” Kedzie – This bombshell holds an impressive professional record as well.

Leiticia Pestova – Although she has a terrible record, what she lacks in victories, she makes up with her looks. Her claim to fame in a way came from being the first fight and victory for Gina “Conviction” Carano. She was knocked out by the beauty and has not done much else since.

Kim “Sugar Free” Couture – Yes, Couture, as in the very beautiful wife of UFC hall-of-famer, Randy “The Natural” Couture. Her record doesn't quite shout impressive just yet, but you all know that her future in the sport looks very bright, especially considering who she has in the gym and in her corner come fight night.

Molly Helsel – She possesses some very technical skills that set the bar high for the future of women's UFC She definitely throws the stigma out the window that women's UFC is just placed into events for the attraction of watching hot girls roll around together in the cage. She truly has a love and passion for the sport and is strong force in the sport aside from her beauty.

Debi “Whiplash” Purcell – Although she doesn't have much experience yet, she is still a force to be reckoned with in the octagon.
