I watched a female win against the local so called champion of South Africa and she was so talented. Her name is ManonF+ Fiorot from France. Great defence, smoth footwork, accurate kicks and much better than average stand up boxing.

It’s impossible that Valentina “Bullet” Shevchenko is not featured in this far-from-reliable list of the ‘so-called’ hottest female fighters. She’s not just one of the best MMA fighters on the planet, but also one the nicest and best looking. I’ve seen her in personal and even had the pleasure of chatting with her.
