The submission specialists of the UFC women's divisions

In the women's divisions, the submission is not a secondary tool: alongside the decision, it is the most common way a fight is settled. That gives this profile a competitive weight that on the men's side gets diluted by the higher frequency of knockouts.

What sets these fighters apart from a control grappler is intent. They do not look to bank position until the scorecards; they look to turn every transition into a real threat to finish.

It is also the style best suited to turning a losing fight around, because a submission wipes out everything that happened before, however the scorecards stood.
