In the early days of the UFC, only men’s fights were allowed. This maxim remained until February 2013. The media boom that Olympic medalist Ronda Rousey was having in her transition to mixed martial arts (MMA) made the American company rethink things. Its CEO, Dana White, who had made it clear actively and passively that we would not see women in the UFC, changed his mind. Since then, the women’s categories have experienced great growth, so the competition, and consequently the level, increases exponentially. Thus, based on their records, importance and victories in championship fights, among other factors, ABC has selected those who are the best athletes who have set foot in the largest MMA cage in the world.
