Women’s MMA has managed to achieve the status of mainstream trend in the past decade, notably thanks to the hard work and dedication of pioneers Gina Carano, Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino and UFC superstar ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey.
Thing is, sometimes a female mixed martial artist possess such physical beauty that you can’t help but wonder why she didn’t choose to get into a modeling career instead of, you know, getting beaten to a pulp for a living.
So, without further ado, let’s have a look at 5 female MMA fighters who could EASILY become models.
5) Paige VanZant
The young UFC star has charmed fans all over the world since starting her UFC career in 2014. A beautiful lady, ’12 Gauge’ regularly posts stunning pictures of her on her Instagram, which you can find @paigevanzantufc.
4) Michelle Waterson
UFC fighter Michelle Waterson has a nickname that could not fit her better: ‘Karate Hottie’. Beloved among fans, the Karate Hottie is a gorgeous woman, and it goes without saying that every fight of her is VERY anticipated…
3) Jessamyn Duke
Jessamyn Duke could easily make the transition to modeling… since she actually was a model before starting her MMA career. She stands 5ft 11in, is fit and is super pretty. I am willing to assume that if she ever decides to go back to modeling, most doors would still be open for her.
2) Aleksandra Albu
Aleksandra Albu is 25, Russian and she kicks ass in the UFC. She is also as gorgeous as it gets. Albu is starting to make waves in the MMA world, thanks to her fighting skills AND to the fact that she is one of the most gorgeous and hottest ladies to have ever graced the Octagon.
1) Anastasia Yankova
24-year-old MMA fighter Anastasia Yankova is not doing anything to deny the ‘Russian ladies are gorgeous’ cliché… She has won her first two MMA fights, as well as my heart in the process. She is basically everything you could wish for in a woman, aesthetically speaking. She is fit, hot and mind-blowingly gorgeous. The young Russian is one of the hottest and prettiest ladies in sports history, period.
The good news? She has recently signed with America-based Bellator promotion, which means you will get to see her soon in the cage on national television…
