The 3-0 Mexican tornado has used her devastating striking to put away all of her foes, but MMA pundits would like to see a step up in competition to see if she’s for real. Mexican WMMA is currently in the early stages of development, but one woman making a name for herself due to her undefeated record and highlight reel of knockouts is Irene Aldana. She is currently the top Brazilian prospect at 135, and I wouldn’t be shocked if the UFC gave her a call in the near future. Larissa Pacheco has been soaring up the Brazilian regional scene due to her uncanny stopping power and spectacular knockouts. It could earn her a UFC ticket, unless she continues to want no-strings attached so she can continue to compete in Muay Thai. We will see if her top prospect tag pans out, as she is scheduled to fight at Invicta 7 in December opposite Lauren Murphy. Her win over Duda Yankovich, as well as a win-turned-no-contest over Jessamyn Duke, were enough to make me lose sleep at the thought of crossing paths with her. The top prospect has to be Muay Thai queen Miriam Nakamoto, whose nasty clinch game and horrifying knees have led to all of her MMA stoppages. However, bantamweight is arguably the most stacked division, with its closest rival being strawweight. The bantamweight division is very tough to find top prospects, as most of the high-end talent is currently in the UFC. Her return saw her continue her perfect mark, as the suffocating grappler known as “Treta” moved her unblemished record to 5-0. Though many were skeptical of her skills and undefeated record, she silenced doubters when she won a convincing decision over Russian mainstay Milana Dudieva on the latter’s home soil.įinally, Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Talita Nogueira recently returned to MMA after a couple of years away from the sport. If you go overseas to a this little country called Sweden, you will find a rapidly rising star in Pannie Kianzad. She is physical and aggressive, which have sparked her meteoric rise in WMMA. Tamikka Brents is cut from the rugged, grinder mold, as this undefeated prospect has looked like a future title contender. She notched her biggest win when she stopped the controversial Fallon Fox with strikes. Then there’s recent media darling Ashlee Evans-Smith, who has a collegiate record that has seen her go from high-level grappler to all-around mixed martial artist.

Her pro debut saw her win a fun shootout when she downed Katalina Malungahu in vicious fashion. She has two knockouts in under 10 seconds. The Team Alpha Male rep is larger than most of the men in her gym, not that that’s saying much. Possibly the top prospect due to her uncanny power and gift of size is Veronica Rothenhausler. Some of those women include Canadian mauler Julia Budd, Dutch submission artist Marloes Coenen and Brazilian buzzsaw Ediane Gomes. However, it is a top-heavy division in terms of talent, as most of the top stars in this division have made the drop to 135, leaving only a handful of major league talent. The featherweight division is ruled by “Cyborg,” as Cris Justino continues her iron grip on the division.
