WAMMA's September Female MMA Rankings

WAMMA's September female MMA rankings are out, and rather than waiting till October to do a top ten list, I thought I'd go ahead and go over the Featherweight rankings now.
Mainly because for the first time since they started doing female MMA rankings, there is a new number one.
Can you guess who it is?



1. Cristiane Santos
Yes the "Queen" was finally unseated.
Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos is the new number one female MMA fighter.
The Strikeforce Women's Lightweight Champion will be fighting next at Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers on November 7th, 2009.
Who will she be fighting?
Hopefully one of the following ladies.

2. Marloes Coenen
One of the women that actually stand a chance against Chris is this Dutch female mixed martial artist.
Marloes is 16-3-0.

3. Erin Toughill
Another lady that could hold her own with the Cyborg is Erin Toughill.
Erin beat Marloes Coenen back in 2004, and since her loss to Megumi Yabushita in 2004, she has been on a winning streak.

4. Gina Carano
Gina finally slipped down to number four.
And now the "Face of Female MMA" may just be looking at a Hollywood career.

5. Kelly Kobold
I did an entry on Kelly way back in April of 2007, so I feel pretty good about showcasing a lady that is now number 5 in the MMA world.
Although her last three fights were losses (Gina Carano, Julie Kedzie and Tara LaRosa) this 16-3-1 fighter is still a force to be reckoned with.

6. Yoko Takahashi
No not the singer.
The Japanese female MMA fighter Yoko Takahashi has a record of 15-10-1 and her last fight was a loss to Cristiane Santos by Unanimous Decision at EliteXC - Heat, 0n October 4th, 2008.

7. Cindy Dandois
Cindy "Battlecat" Dandois is a Belgian female MMA fighter with a 1-0-0 record.
I think the reason this lady came in at seven is because her one win was a Unanimous Decision over number two Marloes Coenen.
That's no small feat.

8. Ediane (Ediene) Gomes
Ediane "India" Gomes is a 4-0-0 fighter from Brazil.

9. Revelina Berto
Revelina "Nana" Berto has a fight record of 3-0-0.

10. Emily Thompson
3-2-0 female MMA fighter came in at number 10.


For the whole list of female MMA rankings, you can go to the WAMMA site here.

BTW...if anyone has any info on what happened Saturday night at “FEMALE FURY II” let me know.
I have looked everywhere for the results.


WAMMA's September Female MMA Rankings, posted to http://femalemixedmartialartists.blogspot.com/, on Sept 22, 2009

Female MMA Rankings For August

I haven't done this in awhile, so here are the top ten female MMA fighters on this blog, and how they ranked at WAMMA.
Now WAMMA ranks their fighters on six different points all having to do with fighting, and all I rank mine on is popularity.
So you'll see some wide differences in the two lists.
Except of course for the number one position.....



1. Gina Carano (7-1-0)
Of course Gina came in at number one on my ratings and the WAMMA ranking.
Is anyone surprised?

2. Karen Williams (3-3-0)
Even with 3 losses in a row, Karen Williams still came in at number two here.
I didnt see her at all on the WAMMA rankings.

3. Latasha Marzolla (9-3) Muay Thai, (1-0-0) MMA
Latasha Marzolla came in third here, but again, I didnt see her on the WAMMA page at all.
Of course with only one pro MMA fight, you wouldnt think she would show up on their rankings.

4. Cristiane Santos (8-1-0)
You would think the champ would come in at number one wouldnt you?
But she came in fourth here and third on the WAMMA.
In all fairness though, the WAMMA rankings came out before the Carano - Santos fight.

5. Emily Thompson (3-2-0)
Emily Thompson came in fifth here, and tenth at WAMMA.

6. Erin Toughill (10-2-1)
One of my favorite female MMA fighters Erin Toughill came in sixth here, and fourth at WAMMA.

7. Alexis Davis (6-2-0)
Another female mma fighter that came up ranked here, but not on WAMMA.

8. Jessica Aguilar (5-3-0)
Jessica Aguilar came in eighth here, and sixth in the Flyweight division at WAMMA.

9. Lisa Ward (12-5-0)
Lisa Ward came in ninth here and fifth in the Flyweight division as WAMMA.

10. Yoko Takahashi (15-10-1)
Yoko Takahashi rounded the list out here, but came in sixth in the Featherweight division at WAMMA.

WAMMA's Female MMA Rankings Versus Mine

How many pictures of Gina Carano are on this blog anyway?

I thought this month I would list the most searched for female MMA fighters here, and also list their WAMMA rankings so we could see how popular these ladies are verses how they are ranked.

Of course number one here and on WAMMA's list is (take a wild guess....)

1. Gina Carano
Yes, Gina Carano is still number one.
Was there any question?

2. Karen Williams
Karen got votes on the WAMMA list, but not enough to rank.
She was recently beaten by Erin Toughill by a first round TKO.

3. Cristiane Santos
Yes the "Cyborg" is riding the publicity wave from the upcoming Carano versus Santos match up.
But if Santos wins...will she become the next media female MMA sweetheart?
Strikeforce will be holding a pre-fight press conference tomorrow (July14th) at the Madison Square Garden's WaMu Theater in New York City.
She came in 3rd in the featherweight division at WAMMA.

4. Emily Thompson
Emily was ranked number 9 in the featherweight division at WAMMA.
Number 4 here.

5. Erin Toughill
At WAMMA she came in 4th, and she came in 5th here.
Erin will be on the "Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg" Aug. 15 card facing an as of yet un-named opponent.
Erin came in 5th here and 4th at WAMMA.

6. Alexis Davis
Alexis didnt rank on WAMMA, but she did get votes and she came in 6th here.
The Canadian lost to Tara LaRosa on January 23, 2009 at Extreme Challenge: War At The Shore.

7. Jessica Aguilar
Jessica came in 6th in the flyweight division at WAMMA and she came in 7th here.
This lovely young lady has a MySpace page here:

8. Lisa Ward
Lisa came in 4th in the Flyweight didvision at WAMMA and 8th overall here.
You can visit Lisa at her MySpace page here:

9. Yoko Takahashi
Yoko came in 9th here and 7th in the featherweight division at WAMMA.
Her fight stats are 15-10-1 including a loss to Cristiane Santos at EliteXC Heat on October 4th, 2008.

10. Elena Reid
Elena came in 10th here and she didnt rank at WAMMA, but got votes.
Elena's last bout was at Extreme Beatdown on April 18th, 2009, when she defeated "The Karate Hottie" Michelle Waterson.

I mentioned a couple of entries back, that WAMMA was going to start ranking the top Female Mixed Martial Artists.

3 Kelly Kobold
4 Megumi Yabushita
5 Marloes Coenen
6 Erin Toughill
