Butch Female Fighters in Mixed Martial Arts

Except contest, they are not professional MMA fighters… Too bad, they would have been good for the number one spot! At least two of them.

To be completely honest, I have to admit a few things. First I chose the worse pick I could find of each girl, the mouthpiece and fighter outfits are not extremely sexy. Except number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the off contest above, most of those girls are OK to me. Well… sort of.

Starting with the least Butch one

- 10: Tonya Evinger

She’s the one involved in the fake lesbian picks with Gina Carano and had been reported as the one looking for it.

“I’d like to make out with Gina, but I am here to knock her out. Either way she wants it, though, is fine with me.”

She looks like the one playing the male role. She sports a 7-3 record and lost again the beautiful Gina, and officially didn’t conclude even if she tried hard …


- 9: Sarah Kaufman

She’s a really good MMA fighter with a record of 7-0-0. Fighting out of Victoria, Canada, she’s 5,5″ and weights 141lbs. She won all her fights by TKO and appeared twice in the KOTC cage.

She looks like a vampire and doesn’t seem to have a great sense of humor. At least in that Pic. Is she a relative of Peter Cushing? I suggest that she takes a massive dose of multi-vitamins! She could be cute actually. She just need a little sun tan and some smile on her face. She looks desperate!


- 8: Vanessa Porto

Nobody seems to know where she’s coming from. Maybe Brazil… More probably from Tasmania. She looks like the Tasmanian devil, she just has less facial and body hair. She probably shaved for the fight!.. She just forgot to tream her eyebrows. Not enough blades?

She has a 7-3 record. 5 of her victories are by way of submission. Her most noticeable victory is against Gina Carano’s husband, Tonya Evinger.

Vanessa Porto

- 7: Amanda Buckner

She’s tough as hell. She looks like it too! She’s not ugly, but she looks like a man. And a big one!!! The first time I saw her, I thought of a small version of Dolph Lundgren. Is this Rocky MMA?

She has a 11 – 5 – 1 MMA record and is considered one of the best MMA fighters around. She’s coming out of an unanimous decision loss, against Takayo Hashi at FFF 4 – Call of the Wild on the 04/03/08 in Los Angeles, Calif.


- 6: Christiane “Cyborg” Santos

She is the wife of former PRIDE superstar Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos. Christiane started training at Chute Boxe and fights with the same style as Wanderlei Silva. She supposed to be the next Gina Carano opponent. I think she’s in trouble against this beast.

She sports a 6 – 1 – 0 record and she’s coming out of 5 wins straight.

Cristiane Santos

- 5: Kelly Kobold

A real butch. Actually, I chose the worse Picks of her as she can be cute in a way. However, her attitude and the brutality she shows in her fights made her a real Butch. I like her actually. She cracks me up, especially in the interview after her victory against Holly Thomas.

“I wanna see everybody drinking tonight, having fun, at the bar!!!”

That’s real feminine…

She’s coming off three straight loses, the last one being at the hands of the most beautiful girl in MMA, Gina Carano.

She has a 16-3-1 record. She’s 5′6″, weight 140lbs and she’s fighting out of Mineapolis, USA.

The famous fight with the sexy interview at the end. Check her out!!!

Holly Thomas vs Kelly Coldbold

- 4: Irma Verhoeff

She is a huge bodybuilder type of female fighter. She has a winning record of 7 – 3 – 2 and five of her victories are by way of TKO.

She is Dutch, as you can guess and looks like Miss Piggy with short hair. She’s inactive since the 5/20/2004 when she scored a decision victory against Yoko Takahashi at “It’s Showtime – Amsterdam Arena”.

She was training at Team Schrijber and she’s fighting out of Heemskerk, Holland. Nobody knows what is she doing today. Maybe lumberjack or truck driver or whales hunter?


-3: Rebecca Ryan Long

Another miss Piggy. Black haired this time, Fater and less muscular than the previews Dutch fighter. She also has an old fashioned appearance that makes her look like my grandma.

With the size of her arm, she can certainly punch really hard, but the only fight she had was a defeat. Rebecca Ryan Long has a 0 -1 record, she lost by TKO in round one against Pearl Garcia at Fatal Femmes Fighting 1 – Japan America Theatre on the 2/17/2007. Nobody heard of her since that fight. Maybe she started a top model career?..


- 2: Elsi Kilponen

Almost number one, Elsi Kilponen is known to have one fight in MMA, a victory against Ashley Hartanovich in Fight Card Entertainment’s Collision. She’s a 23 year old MMA fighter from Chicago, and she’s part of the Women’s Martial Arts Alliance.

I’ve seen another pic where she’s looking much better than this one, but I couldn’t resist to use that one instead as she couldn’t make it to the cute list anyway… I like the air on her forearm.

- 1: Iris “Pitu” Lopes

Yes, that’s a female!!! She only has one fight, a loss, against the talented Carina “Beauty But The Beast” Damm at Vitoria Extreme Fighting in Brazil, October 16, 2004.

I think she deserves the number one spot hands down. She carries everything a man doesn’t want in a woman, and she misses what we require. I mean what can we say about “her” that’s not obvious?…

Now that she stopped the fighting business, I hope she stopped testosterone too.

I reviewed a lot of female MMA fighters to make this list. If you know a Butch one that I dismissed, please shoot me her name in the comment section. I’ll add her to the list.

  • [...] attractive female fighters in the sport, MMA Brawl has also put together a top ten list on that. Bottom Ten List Here. Related [...]

  • Mike Johanson:

    Hahaha actually Rebecca Ryan Long hosts the top MMA Radio show for Fox sports and she only looked that bad cuz she went up in weight. She actually does model and if you ever saw her myspace you’d totally change her mind. She is actually a very pretty girl. Not exactly miss piggy. She just got a tv show that starts taping soon. Her co host is Frank Trigg. Her record is actually 3-1 not 0-1 She was listed under rebecca long on sherdog and they were supposed to merge her records but never did. I know all this stuff about her cuz I did an interview on her about 7 months ago. She had to stop fighting due to cancer but is making a come back once her show stops taping. check her out at myspace.com/rebeccaryanlong

    you will feel stupid you put her on this list. One bad pic doesn’t qualify you as being ugly or fat or butch. She has at least 100 others that say different.

  • CAM:

    I’m just an amateur and I’m sure when I move up I will be on this list! It’s all about the fight and I love it. But I also love to laugh; and guys talking about women in mma always make me laugh!! Check me out at fightergirls CAM

  • Zdot:

    No problem Cam! You look tough as nails! Too bad you have no fight stats!

  • CAM:

    Workin on it! July 10th All Female fight card for TuffNUff in Vegas. Hope to start it there if they can find a girl in my weight class! Thanx 4 luv Zdot!

  • Zdot:

    I truly hope you get the fight. Be sure to keep us informed Cam, I’ll be rooting for you

  • J.J.:

    I tried to find some pictures of the grappler Kelly Paul (training under Ralph Gracie) but couldn’t find any. From what I remember she had quite a manly appearance. And yeah Cam, it’s pretty laughable this discussion, I don’t take it seriously at all.

    Also, just judging from these pictures, I’d make out with Tonya Evinger or Vanessa Porto any day if I got a chance…! :p

  • Zdot:

    I’m happy to see that some people have a sense of humor still. All those girls are cute (except some of them) but as I already mentioned in this article, I choose on purpose the worse pick to make a funny article. Mouthpiece and sweat do not help to look sexy and feminine. By the way Cam, how’s your career going?
