7. Jessica Penne
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ1euz42ky4 A consensus top 5 atomweight, Jessica Penne has the distinction of having fought in the first ever Bellator women's MMA match in 2009. She would win via TKO in the first round. In 2012, she signed with all-female MMA promotion Invicta, now the biggest organization in women's MMA, which serves as a conduit for stars to the UFC in addition to putting on fantastic cards of their own (as someone who has paid for an Invicta event, I'll go on record as saying they really do deliver). She's gone 3-1 in Invicta, having won and lost their atomweight belt, and is 11-2 in her career. A brown belt in jiu-jitsu, Penne has 7 wins by way of submission. In other words, she's a danger on the mat, and a killer beauty all around. She's done a bit of modelling; Google Images would be a good start on that one, but you can see her at a bikini shoot in the video above.
