Collect the Greatest Female Bantamweights Ever
It was February 23, 2013, and the UFC and sports were about to change forever. That evening, Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche became the first women to step into the Octagon. Before this moment, it seemed like women competing in the biggest MMA promotion in the world would never happen, but it did, and they took the promotion by storm.
The moment the ladies stepped into the Octagon, Topps was there, capturing these historic moments in sets such as Topps Chrome® UFC, Topps Royalty UFC, and the iconic Topps UFC Bloodlines.
Let’s look over the incredible history of the women’s bantamweight division. Rousey alone has been the focus of some of the most popular UFC collectibles in history, and over the years, more stars have become pillars of the Octagon. What do you think? Did we miss anyone, or a specific card? Let us know!
