10 Greatest LGBTQ Fighters In UFC History

2. Germaine De Randamie

Dutch kickboxer turned MMA pro Germaine de Randamie is as tough as they come. Prior to entering the world of mixed martial arts, 'The Iron Lady' is said to have knocked out a man who outweighed her by around forty pounds in a boxing match.

The former UFC Women's Featherweight Champion is one of the sport's most dangerous strikers. Her elite kickboxing was on full display during her signature victories over former champ Holly Holm, Raquel Pennington, and, most recently, Aspen Ladd. These accomplishments are even more impressive given the fact that de Randamie isn't a full-time fighter; she also works as a police officer.

The 35-year-old is currently the number one ranked bantamweight and is next in line to face Amanda Nunes at UFC 245, which is scheduled to take place on December 14th. Should she get past Nunes, given her body of work, de Randamie has a chance to go down as one of the greatest female fighters of all-time.
