Best Muay Thai Specialists in the UFC (Women's)

Muay Thai brings the women's divisions the same thing it brings the men's (clinch work, knees, elbows and leg kicks) but with greater relative value. In a context where clean knockouts are less frequent, the damage built up by constant punishment weighs more on the final result.

Leg kicks are the clearest example: they do not end fights on the spot, but they compromise an opponent's mobility over fifteen minutes and limit everything she can do afterwards.

It is a minority label on the women's roster, usually tied to fighters who competed in the discipline itself before moving to MMA.
