# 7: Cathilee ‘Cat’ Zingano. Cat began her fighting career when she was just 12 years old, joining the wrestling team at her school. She eventually started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, culminating in her MMA debut in 2008 as she won her first pro match by submission. In 2013, she won a UFC match by technical knockout, thus making her the first woman in UFC history to do this.
