9 Gorgeous MMA Fighters Who Could Kick Your Ass

Beautiful and deadly: WMMA has a host of stars who could kick your ass while leaving you dazed by their beauty (and, frankly, their punches).

Women€™s MMA is a hot topic right now, with female MMA fights stealing the show on many UFC cards. The talent is there, with the added benefit of sex appeal for the right fighters. The UFC knows this, and markets it where it can, but the women have overcome the spectacle of sexuality to earn themselves a spot in the cage. A lot of doubts have been quashed, so I'll start this article with a disclaimer: the women more than deserve their place in the sport based on talent alone. I'm a hardcore MMA fan however. I watch every fight I can. I was a fan of WMMA before Rousey hit the scene, and I was a fan of it when she wrenched Miesha Tate's arm to win Strikeforce gold. That makes me an exception to the rule, at least a couple years back. The general public definitely wasn't as in-tune with the MMA world and the way WMMA was coming on strong at that point. Even Dana White was late to the realization that the girls could put on a show, stating that women would never fight in the UFC. He would later eat his words. As for today, well, the public knows Rousey, and to some extent Tate, but there aren't really any other mainstream stars at the moment. So lets face it: a little sex appeal never hurts. Of course, to make it as a fighter, you need legit skills as well. Here are nine fighters who have both the skills and the beauty.
