MMA training might just be the most physically demanding activity in the world, so it’s no surprise that most MMA fighters possess amazing bodies. Now, you’re likely more used to seeing very muscular male MMA fighters, like Kamaru Usman, Brock Lesnar, or Alain Ngalani.
However, while we are used to seeing ripped male fighters, some of the ladies have nothing to envy men about when it comes to muscles. Check out the five most muscular female fighters who ever graced the cage.
Number 1 entry might legitimately blow your mind.
5) Claudia Gadelha
Retired Brazilian UFC strawweight Claudia Gadelha has a body most people would kill for. I mean, just look at her abs. They’re just insane. Today Gadelha works for the UFC on fighter development in Brazil.
4) Alexandra Albu

3) Cris Cyborg
Women’s MMA legend Cris “Cyborg” Justino is famous for her blitzkrieg style of fighting, and also for training REALLY hard. The result? An efficient, ripped body. Cyborg puts her soul into her training, and it definitely shows.
2) Rin Nakai
Since exiting the UFC in 2016 after back-to-back losses, flyweight Rin Nakai is currently on a 10-fight win streak, she’s easily one the biggest fighter of the division, hand down, and she’s not afraid to show it off, sometimes provocatively.
1) Gabi Garcia
Brazilian MMA fighter and BJJ world champ Gabi Garcia is, simply put, a freak of an athlete. At 6-foot-2 (188 cm) and 238 pounds (108 kgs), she easily dwarfs most MALE UFC fighters in size. Nobody in Women’s MMA even come close to her in terms of size and muscles.
