Nine months ago, Strikeforce was coming off the biggest fight in the history of women's mixed martial arts history, Cris Cyborg's first-round TKO win over Gina Carano. That fight not only made Cyborg the undisputed toughest woman in the sport, but it also made Strikeforce the undisputed top promotion in women's MMA.But since then Strikeforce hasn't built its women's division as much as it could have. Cyborg has only fought once, Carano hasn't fought at all, and the handful of other women's fights Strikeforce has televised have included mismatches (like Kerry Vera whipping Kim Couture) and snoozers (Sarah Kaufman beating Takayo Hashi).
However, while Strikeforce is stagnating, a couple of other promotions are surging in the women's MMA world. Bellator has signed Rosi Sexton and Megumi Fuji for its upcoming 115-pound tournament, and Moosin put on a good fight between Roxanne Modafferi and Tara LaRosa. All four of those women are on my list of the Top 10 pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, which is below.
