Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Girl Fighters

Amateur Wrestling
Amateur Wrestling (including Freestyle, Greco-Roman, and American Folkstyle) gained tremendous respect due to its effectiveness in mixed martial arts competitions. Wrestling is widely studied by mixed martial artists for its takedown offense and defense, which can be used to dictate whether the fight remains standing or goes to the ground. Wrestling is also credited for conferring an emphasis on conditioning for explosive movement and stamina, both of which are critical in competitive mixed martial arts. Wrestling has produced a number of champions from earlier UFC events till the present day, including Dan Severn, Mark Coleman, Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Matt Hughes, Brock Lesnar, and Cain Velasquez.
