5. Miriam Nakamoto, US
Miriam’s fighting history is no joke, her technique is perfect, and her drive is unmatched! Before Muay Thai became “cool,” she was a pioneer who tried her best to make room for other women in the sport. She might be quiet in interviews, but just you wait until that gong dings.
6. Loma Lookboonmee, Thailand
Loma is small but scrappy. Her clinch work is elite, her kicks could probably snap a lesser man in half, and her transition to MMA landed her in the UFC history books as the first Thai woman to compete. She’s humble, sweet, and even a little camera-shy. But when the gloves are on—that’s where she shines the brightest.
