The 10 Sexiest MMA Fighters

Earlier this month, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Ronda Rousey volunteered for a job many Kim Kardashian-haters have fantasized about: giving her a good ass-whooping. In a recent red carpet interview, Rousey trashed Kim for parlaying a sex tape into fame and touting herself as a role model for young girls. However, it would not be much of a match if the two were to face off. Rousey tends to dispatch her MMA competition within seconds by pulling on their arms like an enraged Wookiee.

Although the fight wouldn't be pretty, that's not to say there is nothing pretty about MMA. Thanks to the popularity of the sport and the spirit of equal opportunity, women are getting down, dirty, and downright brutal with each other on the mat just like the guys do. And a lot of them are downright cute. Rousey has been wooing spectators for several years now, and there are more bruising beauties on the horizon.

Are you ready for some sportsbra? Here are The 10 Sexiest MMA Fighters.

Nickname: Lil' Bulldog

Age: 27

Class: Strawweight

Record: 6-4

Association: Team Curran

Herrig started as a Muay Thai kickboxer, and a damn good one—she is still listed as the U.S. champion in her division on the International Kickboxing Federation website. As an MMA pro, however, the Lil' Bulldog is struggling to become a stand-out fighter. In fact, she's more notable for her appearance as a playable character in the Playstation 3 and XBox 360 game Supremacy MMA.

Nickname: Sugar Free

Age: 36

Class: Bantamweight

Record: 3-7

Association: Tapout Training Center

Although her record reflects that she isn't the best MMA fighter, the ex-wife of retired UFC champion Randy Couture is definitely hot. Apparently, she was inspired to get into the game by Gina Carano. Just think what a babe-on-babe rivalry that could be if Couture stepped it up.

Nickname: Diablita

Age: 31

Class: Flyweight

Record: 3-3

Association: Throwdown

Originally a professional boxer, this little devil of a fighter compiled a 3-1 record in her first year in pro MMA. Guiterrez has never defeated a fighter who had a winning record, but then, she's never faced a fighter who had a winning record. You can be in control of that, however, by playing her in Supremacy MMA.

Nickname: Rumina

Age: 31

Class: Featherweight

Record: 20-5

Association: Golden Glory, Tatsujin Dojo, R-Grip

This regal looking creature hails from the Netherlands and has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 years. As a teenager, she had to ride her bike through a forest to get to school, and began her martial arts training to protect herself from a threat she'd heard about, which she describes as "dirty men in the forest."

Nickname: The Asian Persuasion

Age: 30

Class: Strawweight

Record: 3-4 (Amateur)

Association: Fitness Edge MMA

Nguyen has yet to make her pro debut, but give the girl some time—she's still transitioning out of her original capacity as a ring girl. Yes, she came into MMA as sign-holding eye candy and is now going toe to toe in the arena with opponents who are, in all honesty, not as pretty as she is. Will she make it to the pros? We don't know, but we're certain she'll continue to be hot.

Nickname: Steel

Age: 35

Class: Welterweight

Record: 10-3

Association: Xtreme Couture

Erin Toughill learned kickboxing at the age of 18, started practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and blossomed into a multi-tasking badass. Not only is she a longtime MMA star, having made her pro debut in 1999, she also pursued a professional boxing career (8 wins, 2 losses) concurrent with her MMA run and appeared on American Gladiators as Steel.

Toughhill retired in 2009, then came back in 2011 to face Ashley Sanchez. Although she lost the match, she had a kidney infection and probably shouldn't have been fighting at all. Whether the world will see Toughill get in the cage again remains to be seen.

Nickname: Takedown

Age: 25

Class: Bantamweight

Record: 12-3

Association: Team Alpha Male

Tate was on the boys' wrestling team in high school, and if you think the boys enjoyed being pinned by her, you're wrong. She has stories of opponents crying or even quitting the sport after losing to her.

Nowadays, she's challenging women her own size. Tate won the Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight title in 2011 by defeating Marloes Coenen, but then lost in her first defense to the reputably unbeatable Ronda Rousey.

Nickname: Rowdy

Age: 25

Class: Bantamweight

Record: 5-0

Association: Team Hayastan, Glendale Fighting Club

Right now, there isn't a more exciting female MMA fighter than Ronda Rousey, and that's not just because of her nakedness on the cover of ESPN's "Body Issue." She has won every match, including her three amateur fights, with an arm bar submission hold during the first round. In fact, it wasn't until her most recent match against the lovely Miesha Tate that her opponent lasted more than a minute.

Aside from the possibly-best-in-the-sport angle (which we shall know for sure when she faces 15-1 Sarah Kaufman on August 18), she excites her fans by not giving a crap whom she pisses off. In recent weeks, she has said she'd kick Kim Kardashian's ass and characterized swimmer Michael Phelps as a diva.

Nickname: The Karate Hottie

Age: 26

Class: Atomweight

Record: 9-3

Association: Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts

Standing at 5'3" and weighing just 105 pounds, this pint-sized fighter has a black belt in American freestyle Karate and knows Muay Thai. After nearly two years off, during which she had a baby, she returned to the cage in January with a first-round submission defeat of Diana Rael. She married her baby-daddy, a former U.S. Armed Forces amateur boxing champion, on July 14.

Nickname: Conviction

Age: 30

Class: Featherweight

Record: 7-1

Association: Xtreme Couture

Can you make a list of the hottest MMA fighters without Gina Carano? No, you can't. It was Gina Carano who actually introduced the concept of a hot female MMA fighter, and to this day, it's hard to say that there's a grappler out there who can beat her on looks.

On the mat, however, there was only one who topped her: Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos. The loss in 2009 was Carano's last MMA fight, although she has indicated that she'd like to return, and was actually scheduled to fight last summer but was taken off the card for undisclosed medical reasons. As a consolation career, she's turned to making movies, such as 2011's Haywire with Steven Soderbergh. Not a bad trade-off.
