MMA Women - Julia Budd

The number two ranked Featherweight MMA fighter in the world, Julia "The Jewel" Budd (10-2-0).
Julia was born on July 4th, 1983 in Roberts Creek, British Columbia, Canada.

She is five foot eight and weighs 145 pounds and was/is the first Bellator Women's Featherweight champion.
Julia started out in Muay Thai and is the only woman to defeat Gina Carano in Muay Thai competition.
In MMA, the only two women she has lost to are Ronda Rousey and Amanda Nunes, which is pretty impressive.

Marloes Coenen vs Julia Budd Cancelled

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.

Julia “The Jewel” Budd - Female MMA Fighters

One of the coolest things about doing a blog like this is being able to watch stars rise.
Case in point,  Julia “The Jewel” Budd.
I did a write up on Julia back in 2012 when she was only 3-2-0.

Now she is ranked number three on the Unified Women’s Mixed Martial Arts Rankings for Featherweights, right behind Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino and Marloes “Rumina” Coenen.
And now Julia has a 6-2-0 record...meaning she has not lost a fight since I did that write up in 2012.

She recently had a Unanimous decision win over Charmaine Tweet at Invicta FC 7 - Honchak vs. Smith on December 7th, 2013.
And pretty soon you can imagine that she will be facing either Coenen or Justino.

Julia "The Jewel" Budd

Looking make over the entries here I just noticed that I have not done a write up on female MMA fighter Julia Budd.
Considering that she was ranked eighth last month in the top female MMA fighters (Featherweights) by MMARising...I guess I had better mention her huh?

 Julia "The Jewel" Budd was born in Port Moody, British Columbia on July 4th, 1983.
She has a current record of 3-2-0.
Of course 3-2-0 may not sound that impressive but you have to remember that her two losses were to Amanda Nunes and Ronda Rousey, who are by NO means slouches.
Her first fight was a win against Shana Olsen via TKO (Punches) at Strikeforce - Challengers 11 on October 22nd, 2010 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.
Julia's last fight was a win (via TKO) over Elina Nilsson at Invicta FC 2 - Baszler vs. McMann on July 28th, 2012

Besides being a mixed martial arts fighter, Julia is also a fitness model and personal trainer.
And the owner of some of the most incredible abs in MMA.
