In addition, we have a new crop of female fighters joining the ranks of ZUFFA on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 18 (watch the tryout video here), which premieres on FOX Sports 1 and features Rousey coaching opposite new division number one contender Cat Zingano.

"Rowdy" is widely-recognized as the queen of queens.

But we would be remiss in our duty if we failed to recognize the rest of the top 10 pound-for-pound women in MMA, so the SB Nation panel -- compiled by MMA Mania, MMA Fighting and Bloody Elbow -- went into the war room and battled it out.

4. Sarah Kaufman
5. Jessica Aguilar
6. Miesha Tate
7. Marloes Coenen
8. Alexis Davis
9. Megumi Fujii
10. Jessica Eye
