5 Things You Didn’t Know About Shayna Baszler’s MMA Career

5. Baszler Has Wins Over Two UFC Title Challengers

Shayna Baszler finished her career with fifteen wins as a professional mixed martial artist. Moreover, the current NXT Women's Champion didn't pad her stats against lesser competition during her time in the cage.

In March 2006, 'The Queen of Spades' defeated Julie Kedzie at Freestyle Combat Challenge 22. Kedzie would go on to compete for the Ultimate Fighting Championship and give former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate a run for her money.

In 2010, Baszler won a unanimous decision victory in a bout against current UFC fighter Alexis Davis, at Freestyle Cage Fighting 40. As some fans may recall, Davis unsuccessfully challenged Ronda Rousey for the UFC Bantamweight Championship a few years back.

Another one of her signature wins came in 2006 at MARS: BodogFight ⁠—an event held in Tokyo, Japan. That evening she was able to submit Roxanne Modafferi in the first round. Modafferi recently challenged Nicco Montano for the UFC Women's Flyweight Championship but failed to capture the title.

Bazler would finish her career with a 15-11 record overall.
