Female MMA fighter Andrea Lee was born on February 11, 1989 in Atlanta, Texas. She currently fights for Invicta FC in the Flyweight division. But at the moment, she is on a nine month suspension.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission gave her the nine month suspension after she tested positive for diuretics after a submission loss to Sarah D’Alelio at Invicta FC 16 on Mrach 11th, 2016. Nine months is not bad since the standard suspension for drug violations is two years. But the suspension is retroactive to the date of FC 16 which means she'll be eligible to fight again on December 11th, 2016.
On May 20th, 2016, at Bellator 155: Carvalho vs Manhoef at the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho they were supposed to have the inaugural Bellator MMA women's featherweight title between Marloes Coenen and Julia Budd.
However, Julia had to pull out due to injury and now former UFC fighter Alexis Dufresne will have a 3 round non-title bout against Coenen.
Marloes is 23-6 and is the former Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion. She has constantly ranked number two on the Unified Women’s Mixed Martial Arts Rankings, right behind Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino.
Last time I listed the WMMA Featherweights. Now we take a look at the Unified Women’s Pro MMA Rankings for Bantamweights.
Of course number 1 is Holly “Preacher’s Daughter” Holm, the woman that rocked the MMA world when she defeated Ronda Rousey. Everyone is pretty anxious to see how this boxer turned MMA fighter does in the future.
Valentina Anatolievna Shevchenko aka Valentina "Bullet" Shevchenko is a female kickboxer and mixed martial arts fighter.
She was born on March 7, 1988 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
Valentina has a 12-1-0 MMA record and is currently ranked 10th in the Bantamweight division by MMARising.

She and the first lady she ever fought, Felice Herrig, appear in the video game Supremacy MMA, which was the first MMA title to have female fighters.
Kyra Gracie has stirred up a lot of controversy here before, and it looks like some more may be coming.
According to MMA Fighting.com, Kyra is considering the move from grappling to MMA. As a matter of fact, she told MMAFighting.com that even though she had no time frame, her debut would be soon. You can read the full article here
A lot of people have wondered just how this talented Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) star would do in MMA, and it looks like we may find out soon. I've read that Kyra was right around 130 pounds, so that would put her in the same class as Sarah Kaufman, Shayna Baszler and Tara LaRosa if I'm not mistaken.
And to soothe your Kyra Gracie needs, here is a video of her taking on Erica Montoya at the 2005 Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) : Under 60Kg Weight Class Quarter Finals...
