Best KO Artists in the UFC (Women's)

Finishing by strikes is considerably less common in the women's divisions than in the men's, which makes this group one of the smallest on the roster. It is not a question of technique but of physics: less body mass means less absolute power available.

That is why a fighter who settles her fights by knockout stands out disproportionately in her division. In a context where most results go to the scorecards, the threat of a finish completely changes how opponents approach her.

The effect on Elo is the same as on the men's side, only amplified: ending fights early in a division where almost nobody does speeds up a climb that would otherwise depend on close decisions.
