#1 Sinead Kavanaugh (4-0)

Sinead Kavanaugh represents Ireland

The Straight Blast Gym (SBG) Ireland prospect has attracted a boatload of attention because of her exciting fighting style and the fact that she’s training out of the same gym as the UFC’s current two-division champion Conor McGregor.

Ireland seems to be itching for a female to dominate the fight game similar to McGregor, but have yet to find a female to attract the global attention needed to accomplish this feat. Sinead Kavanaugh may be on that level at this point, however, as her momentum and popularity are starting to grow amongst MMA fans.

Kavanaugh is a talented striker with deadly knockout power and ferocious clinch work. Her nickname is KO, a name which she’s lived up to, she was nominated for the 2015 BAMMA KO of the year award as she finished her opponent inside 20 seconds.

2017 will be an important year for her. She has the potential to become something special, so her next 2-3 fights will be the key to her brand as a fighter going forward. The move to Bellator will definitely aid her as it pertains to making a name for herself in the United States.
