After defeating the likes of Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg, and Valentina Shevchenko, current two-division champ 'The Lioness' Amanda Nunes has solidified her status as one of the sport's all-time greats. The top female fighter in the game hasn't lost in over five years and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

It would take a pretty badass Latina actress to play the most dominant female in combat sports. Michelle Rodriguez, whose hobbies include skydiving and tactical gun training, would appear to fit the bill.

Of course, the 41-year-old actress made her big-screen debut portraying a combat sports athlete in the 2000 sports drama, Girl Fight. In truth, she's often cast as the resident tough girl in flicks like Machete and has the role down pat.

As one of the most accomplished actresses in the action genre, Michelle Rodriguez is one of the few performers qualified to play 'The Lioness.'
