10 Greatest Female Fighters In MMA History

10. Holly Holm

After winning several titles as a professional boxer, Albuquerque, New Mexico's Holly Holm made the transition to MMA in 2011. "The Preacher's Daughter" would go on to win her first ten professional fights including a shocking upset victory over Ronda Rousey to capture the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship. The win quite made her a star overnight.

However, after an epic start to her UFC career, Holm is now 2-4 since her victory over Rousey. To be fair, all four of her losses have come against either current or former UFC champs. Furthermore, despite her recent struggles, Holm is still one of the most popular fighters in the game today.

Her victory over Rousey remains one of the most talked-about moments in MMA and ensures that she'll always have a place in the sport's history.

This Saturday, at UFC 239, she will challenge Amanda Nunes for the women's bantamweight strap and a chance to become a 2-time champ. If successful, she'll likely find her name even further down lists like this in the very near future.
