Top 10 pound-for-pound MMA fighters

Below are my 10 options for the very best pound-for-pound blended martial artist (consisting of ladies) on the planet. To comprehend this, it assists to comprehend what pound-for-pound methods. To me, and the method I’ll be voting, it’s who would win a battle if everybody weighed the exact same and all of their abilities and physical qualities were proportional. For instance, if I’m thinking about a flyweight who is a homicidal puncher in his/her department, I will presume she or he would be a homicidal puncher in every department, punching proportionally as tough at heavyweight as he/she did at flyweight.

I will value activity and quality of opposition over lack of exercise and lighter opposition. That stated, I won’t arbitrarily get rid of a fighter from my Leading 10 if there is a rational and logical reason they haven’t battled. However I will not choose somebody who has actually been non-active for a prolonged duration for no obvious factor. Fighters who are under doping suspensions will not be consisted of.
