Unified Women’s MMA Rankings – December

The Unified Women’s Pro MMA Rankings are updated on the first of each month and are acknowledged by most media outlets as the official women’s MMA rankings assembled by division and weight class.

Fighters under suspension or who have not competed within the past 12 months are not eligible to be ranked (unless they have a verified fight scheduled within 60 days). Fighters who vacate a weight class will no longer be ranked in that division.
