The Best Fighters in MMA History

7. Valentina Shevchenko

Women only started fighting in the UFC in 2013, 20 years after the organization’s inception. And now women’s MMAs are becoming more and more popular, and female fighters should definitely be feared in the octagon just as much as their male counterparts. During her professional fighting career, Shevchenko lost only three fights, twice against the legendary Amanda Nunes (the sixth best MMA athlete of all time) and once against Liz Karmouche. Shevchenko is not only an outstanding MMA fighter, she has also won several gold medals at the Muay Thai World Championships. And she earned the title of “Best female Thai boxer in the world.”
