Ronda Rousey-women mma fighters-mma women fighters

Last year I did a post about the then Current UFC Female roster.
So I thought I would update that one now.
Oddly enough (as I have mentioned before) Dana White once swore women would never fight in UFC.
Then evidently he met Ronda Rousey.
He signed her up and now the UFC roster has 25 fighters on it, down from 27 last time I did this...

Ronda Rousey
Miesha Tate
Alexis Davis
Amanda Nunes
Sarah Kaufman
Liz Carmouche
Germaine de Randamie
Raquel Pennington
Sara McMann
Jessica Eye
Bethe Correia
Jessamyn Duke
Julianna Peña
Marion Reneau
Cat Zingano
Elizabeth Phillips
Leslie Smith
Holly Holm
Milana Dudieva
Sarah Moras
Lauren Murphy
Larissa Pacheco
Cristiane Justino
Ashlee Evans-Smith
Rin Nakai    

Right now only Ronda, Julianna Peña and Holly Holm are undefeated.

UFC Fight Night 80 Results - Rose Namajunas vs Paige VanZant

At UFC Fight Night 80, Rose Namajunas pretty much dominated Paige VanZant.
Rose (4-2-0), soundly defeated Paige (6-2-0) in what everyone thought would be her big night.
You have to give Piage credit though.
Even after being cut open by an elbow early in the fight and basically outclassed in every round, she hung in there and took the punishment.
She finally had to tap to a rear-naked choke in the fifth round.

And I know it has nothing to do with fighting, but everyone talks about how hot Paige VanZant is (and she is) ....
Well here is Rose when she isnt kicking ass and taking names (and her head isn't shaved)....

Miesha Tate defeats Holly Holm at UFC 196

I gave up a long time ago and I really have no idea why I even try now.
Ronda Rousey crushed Miesha Tate every time they fought.
Then Holly Holm beat Ronda Rousey.
So Holly should have whipped Miesha easily.
Right?
Wrong.
Miesha got a fifth round submission victory with a rear naked choke.
Of course she had to because Holly was leading in scoring with the judges.
So now Ronda says that she is all ready to get back to training because she knows she can beat Miesha and get the belt back.

This is Singaporean MMA fighter, Angela Lee.
Angela is fair new to the MMA scene but so far she is 5-0-0 and those fights were pretty impressive.
Ronda Rousey impressive actually.

Her longest pro fight has been 2 minutes.
And all 5 were won with submissions.

And before that, her 3 amateur fights all were under 1 minute. 

Expect big things out of Angela "Unstoppable" Lee.

Alexandra "Stitch" Albu is a Strawweight UFC fighter from Vulcănești, Gagauzia, Moldova.
She is five foot two, 115 pounds and is represented by Red Fury Fight Team.
Alexandra has only had two Pro fights, but she won them both.
She is currently 2-0-0 and so far she is not ranked in the Unified Women’s Pro MMA Rankings.
But I did a write up on Ronda Rousey long before she was ranked too...and you see what happened with her.

On May 20th, 2016, at Bellator 155: Carvalho vs Manhoef at the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho they were supposed to have the inaugural Bellator MMA women's featherweight title between Marloes Coenen and Julia Budd.


However, Julia had to pull out due to injury and now former UFC fighter Alexis Dufresne will have a 3 round non-title bout against Coenen.

Marloes is 23-6 and is the former Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion.
She has constantly ranked number two on the Unified Women’s Mixed Martial Arts Rankings, right behind Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino.




Andrea Lee - MMA Fighter

Female MMA fighter Andrea Lee was born on February 11, 1989 in Atlanta, Texas.
She currently fights for Invicta FC in the Flyweight division.
But at the moment, she is on a nine month suspension.



The Nevada State Athletic Commission gave her the nine month suspension after she tested positive for diuretics after a submission loss to Sarah D’Alelio at Invicta FC 16 on Mrach 11th, 2016.
Nine months is not bad since the standard suspension for drug violations is two years.
But the suspension is retroactive to the date of FC 16 which means she'll be eligible to fight again on December 11th, 2016.

Her current MMA record is 4-2-0.

I haven't done anything on Ukrainian kickboxer and mixed martial artist Lena “Hunter” Ovchynnikova in a while.
So here she is.
Since the last post, Lena has gone on to an 11-4-0 record in MMA, and a 12-6-0 record in kickboxing.

Last night at UFC 200, Amanda Nunes submitted Miesha Tate to win the UFC bantamweight title. You know since Ronda lost the belt, that thing has really been passed around. I think that may be a good thing though.

Wow.
It seems like every couple of weeks I am reporting about upsets in MMA.
This time it is Valentina Shevchenko (13-1-0) defeating Holly Holm (10-2-0).
Valentina won by unanimous decision, and all three judges scored the fight for Shevchenko (49-46).
Since knocking Ronda Rousey out at UFC 193 in November, Holly is 0-2-0 in UFC.

Alexa Grasso is cute.
Yeah I know she is a grown woman and a MMA fighter with an 8-0-0 record.
And 4 of those 8 wins were knockouts.

Anyway, Alexa was born on August 9, 1993 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
She is a strawweight that fights for the UFC.
Alexa is 5 foot 5 and weighs 115 pounds.

And she's cute.

I haven't done a celebrity Martial Arts entry here in a while, so here is one.
I know that I read that Jessica Alba did Tae Bo a few years ago.
But then I read that she was actually in Tae Kwon Do.
Now I have heard that she practices Krav Maga.
And she was also quoted in an interview recently as saying, "I've learned a bunch of different disciplines in martial arts"
So I guess she is good.

By the way....
Jessica Alba has had enough of your crap Johnny!
