Another fighter who deserves mention: Larissa Pacheco. Four fights, four wins in PFL.
I would love to see more women’s wrestlers in MMA.We've got a bit of an unheralded judo invasion in WMMA at the moment (especially out of Brazil), in UFC alone Amanda Ribas, Luana Santos, Dione Barbosa, Irina Alekseeva and of course Stephanie Egger all having some kind of noteworthy competition judo background.
I guess we'll be seeing more out of France in the coming years too with them making MMA legal and having lots of judo and stuff. Plus several from Japan already since RIZIN spawned a new wave of interest in athletes there (Watanabe etc)
I was gonna add '...so much for BJJ' but there's a mini BJJ invasion in the UFC too: joining Dern there's now Alencar, Amorim, and Kline.
Not so much wrasslin' though with UFC having UNJUSTLY cut Murata, likely after bribing the judges to rob her to give them the excuse to do so to stop her from taking over and holding the belt for the next 10 years if you ask me #FUUFC #DieDanaDie #SlaughterShelby #MurderMaynard
(Sawada looking good but she's too small to break out of azn scene/be in the UFC)

Hopefully that Phetjeeja win convinces Stamp to defend her mma title next.
I agree. The UFC needs to sign Avsaragova now that Bellator's pretty much done.
Someone just needs to remind her that she's a master of sport in freestyle wrestling.
Ah, Hardy would also deserve the mention, indeed - also, those two should share the easiness on the eye award.Most improved. Ariane Lipski, Veronica Hardy

Maybe Stamp's body kick knockout of Alyse Anderson for KO of the YearThanks for the comments on end of year awards. Here's my thoughts.
