Best BJJ Specialists in the UFC (Women's)

Brazilian jiu-jitsu carries especially high weight in the women's divisions, where lower relative power reduces how often fights end by strikes and makes the ground the most reliable way to finish.

The fighters in this ranking do not just defend there: they build the fight to get there, and several of them have more wins by submission than by any other method.

That threat shapes the fight long before it materializes. An opponent who knows what happens if she ends up on the mat changes the way she attacks, shoots for takedowns and accepts the clinch.
