Demi Lovato is a Grammy Award-nominated recording artist who has countless hit singles including 'Sorry not Sorry' and 'Skyscraper.'

The former Disney star turned pop sensation made MMA headlines back in 2016, when she briefly dated former UFC Middleweight Champion, Luke Rockhold. However, Lovato has gone on to become a solid mixed martial artist in her own right.

She currently holds a second-degree blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Lovato has also rounded her game by honing her boxing and Muay Thai skills.

She's trained with several professional fighters including the UFC's Emily Whitmire. When discussing the pop singers MMA game, Whitmire stated, 'For real, that girl can hit, and she does have movement.'

The UFC strawweight added, 'She’s really good about asking questions, and she’ll know if she did something off. She’ll be like, OK, what should I do to fix this? It’s really enjoyable training her.'

Lovato has even flirted with the idea of fighting and at 28, she's still young enough to potentially compete.
