8. Miesha Tate
‘Cupcake’ is one of the best female MMA fighters ever. She had a superb rivalry with Ronda Rousey and it’s fantastic that she managed to end her career having won the belt. Renowned for her ground game, the BJJ black belt defeated Holly Holm to win the title.
Now working as a Vice-President with ONE Championship, Tate is helping to develop the sport for a new audience. The former bantamweight champion is a stalwart of the game and a true pioneer for women’s MMA.
