These are uncertain times for women's mixed martial arts. Strikeforce has been the industry leader in female fights, while the UFC has maintained that it has no interest in putting women in the Octagon. So now that the UFC runs Strikeforce, does that mean women's MMA is endangered? Not necessarily. The Strikeforce women were invited to the UFC's recent fighter summit in Las Vegas, which indicates that Zuffa thinks women have a future within the company, and next month's return of the sport's biggest female star, Gina Carano, will result in a publicity boost for women's MMA. So as I review the top 10 female fighters in mixed martial arts, I'm confident that it's a list of fighters whose futures are bright. Even if I'm not sure where and when most of them will fight next.

UFC 129 was that rare sporting event that lived up to the hype. Because UFC 129 was such an unbelievably good show, Cagewriter is breaking down Three Stars into two posts. First up, the undercard.
No. 1 star -- Pablo Garza: What's the best way to start off the biggest UFC event in the promotion's history? With a flying triangle submission. Garza's first-round choke of Yves Jabouin stood out in a night of stand-out performances, and earned him a $129,000 bonus. In his last fight, a win over with a flying knee over Fredson Paixao, Garza made $8,000. Not a bad bonus for less than five minutes work.
No. 2 star -- Rory McDonald: Dealing with a Diaz brother is never fun. Nate, like his brother Strikeforce champ Nick, couples a nasty jiu-jitsu game with unending trash talk. But the 21-year-old McDonald ignored that, and used suplexes and strikes to stop Diaz in a unanimous decision.
No. 3 star -- John Makdessi: Not to be outdone by Garza's fast start to the fights, Makdessi pleased the Canadian crowd with a spinning backfist KO, sending Kyle Watson to the floor in the third round with a hard left to the chin. Unfortunately, Lyoto Machida's KO of Randy Couture robbed Makdessi of the bonus, but not of the respect earned from the highlight reel knockout.
Honorable mention -- Ivan Menjivar: Speaking of amazing finishes that were also worthy of a bonus, Menjivar only needed a minute and a half to finish off Charlie Valencia with a short elbow that busted up Valencia's nose.

During an 18-year career in the National Hockey League, Donald Brashear earned a reputation as one of the sport's top enforcers due to his willingness to rip off his gloves and throw down. Now, though, he is getting to strap on some gloves and change his fighting arena from a rink to a cage when he makes his mixed martial arts debut at Ringside MMA 11 on June 4. The 39-year-old will face an opponent yet to be determined in his adopted hometown of Quebec City, Quebec, and his first prizefight will come on very short notice. During a recent edition of The MMA Hour, Brashear said that he decided to take the fight after being approached by the event's promoter just around one month ago, and with no previous MMA experience. If that sounds like a rash decision, Brashear can't exactly argue. "The most I know is from the people I see fighting," he said. "The only knowledge of fighting I have is boxing and playing in the NHL, so I've got a lot of stuff to learn."Source: http://mmafighting.com/2011/05/14/former-nhl-enforcer-donald-brashear-readies-for-mma-debut/
