The Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC, is a brutal mixed martial arts promotion company that has held over 500 events and counts with millions of fans all over the world. To the brave men fighting in the ring, winning is all about becoming the strongest, the most agile, and the richest amongst the UFC competitors. But there's something else that makes all of the hard work feel like it's worthwhile.
UFC wives and girlfriends don't always put up a good fight (with some exceptions), but they cannot stop being beautiful! There's nothing like getting cozy with one of these beauties to ease the pain and suffering that comes from a long night of punching and getting punched. Let's see who the women who make the tummy of the world's fiercest men tingle with passion are.
Conor McGregor & Dee Devlin
When it comes to UFC, Conor McGregor is the man! Arguably the most famous fighter on our list, he took the competitive game of mixed martial arts into the mainstream before retiring in 2020, with a record of 22 wins in 26 matches. The life of the talented tough-man from Ireland was blessed in many ways, both in business and love.
Standing by McGregor's side is his girlfriend of 9 years, the beautiful Dee Devlin. Devlin is so passionate about McGregor that she decided to quit her job to follow him around and help to support his career. In the end, it turned out to be a wise decision: together, Devlin and McGregor have built a $120 million empire. They share everything in life, including Conor Jack and Croia, their two young children.
T.J. Dillashaw & Rebecca Dillashaw
Life in the UFC was going great for T.J. Dillashaw, a two-time UFC Bantamweight champion. But then, he tested positive for a prohibited performance-enhancing drug, which led him to be suspended for two years. Now 34 years-old, T.J. has finally found the time he needs to be with his wife Rebecca, his young son Bronson, and to focus on his Clean Juice franchise store.
As for Rebecca, she is a beautiful visual communications major who seems never to stop smiling. She dated T.J. for a while before tying the knot in a wedding ceremony in Mexico. Her Twitter and Instagram accounts are set to private, but she has reportedly created social media pages for each one of her beloved pet dogs: Bunny, Cash, and Smokey.
Michael Bisping & Rebecca Bisping
A former UFC Middleweight Champion, Michael Bisping retired from mixed martial arts in 2018, having lost only nine matches out of a total of 39. Used to dealing with the crowd, he decided to become an actor and did so with great success. Michael landed a role in the action movie XXX: Return of Xander Cage and got a small part in the revived version of the T.V. series Twin Peaks.
But if you think Michael's life couldn't get any more perfect, you're not considering his beautiful wife, Rebecca. The happy couple resides in California and, despite Rebecca's slimy looks, they've had three children together.
Ryan Bader & Daisy Bader
Nicknamed the "Darth Bader," former Bellator champion Ryan Bader is not a fighter to be messed with. Now competing in the Light Heavyweight division of the UFC, he's a respected and fearsome character in the ring. Bader also seems to be a nurturing and nice family man.
His wife, since 2010, is Daisy Bader, a communications major whose biography is still, in great part, a mystery. All we know is that Daisy shares three beautiful children with Bader and that she worked briefly in marketing. The two lovebirds tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Arizona, which counted with the presence of the fellow athletes Cain Velasquez, C.B. Dollaway, and Jay Glaser.
Henry Cejudo, Nikki Bella & Sandra
No, it's not an open relationship. It's just that Henry Cejudo, a notable former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion, is still not ready to commit. In 2019, he was seen getting cozy with Nikki Bella, a professional WWE wrestler who once dated John Cena. Not long after, though, he was caught enjoying the company of Sandra, a beautiful Brazilian actress whose last name wasn't mentioned by the American tabloids.
There's nothing wrong with having fun, and the 33-year-old UFC fighter has proved that he knows his way around women. But is there any chance that "The Messenger of God," as Cejudo is known, will settle down with the lovely Sandra? Only time will tell.
Amanda Nunes & Nina Ansaroff
Coming from the smalltown of Pojuca, in Brazil, Amanda Nunes had risen to the top of the world back when she defeated the most popular female athlete in UFC's history, Ronda Rousey. Rousey is now lending her tough-girl charm to the WWE wrestling promotion, while Amanda continues to reign over the bantamweight and featherweight divisions.
By Amanda's side is another talented UFC female fighter. The American Nina Ansaroff has fallen for Amanda's charm, and the two women are currently engaged. Despite their bond, they have recently admitted that they wish to meet each other in the ring in the future. What a fight it will be!
Chuck Lidell & Heidi Northcott
Another power-couple connected to the UFC, Chuck Lidell, and Heidi Northcott is a force to be reckoned with. Chuck is the unmistakable "Ice Man," a nickname that suits his cerebral fighting style to perfection. He's an incredibly versatile competitor, trained in the arts of Kenpo, karate, kickboxing, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu. He was also one of the first UFC fighters to gain mainstream recognition.
On the other hand, Heidi is a beautiful mother of 2 who works in Hollywood, mainly as an agent. She did appear in the 2019 action-thriller Acceleration, though, where she performed both as an actress and stuntwoman.
Stipe Miocic & Ryan Marie Carney
A born and raised American of Croatian descent, Stipe Miocic is a two-time UFC heavyweight champion and one of the most talented competitors in the promotion. Currently 37 years old, he has a respectable record of 19 wins in 22 games. And the best part? He doesn't even need to go to the hospital whenever he needs a bit of medical treatment.
Miocic's wife, Ryan Marie Carney, is not only a beautiful woman but also a nurse! Considering Miocic's job, Ryan's nursing skills have certainly been convenient on one or two occasions. Stipe and Ryan married on June 18, 2016. They have a baby daughter, Meelah Claire Miocic.
Robert Whittaker & Sofia Whittaker
A former UFC Middleweight champion, Australian fighter Robert Whittaker is known in the game as a friendly, polite fellow, who contrasts sharply against the braggy, trash-mouthing type that is so common in the UFC. Maybe for that reason, he was graced with a beautiful and happy family, sharing three children with his wife, Sofia.
With over 12K followers on Instagram, Sofia acts as the social media manager of the Whittaker household. She describes herself as a mum, wife, and athlete, and she loves to publish pictures of her daily workouts. Robert often joins her in the gym.
Brock Lesnar & Sable
A couple that fights together stays together? The sentence wouldn't make any sense if it weren't for former UFC fighter Brock Lesnar and female wrestler Sable. Married since 2006, the two talented athletes both became famous for their WWF/WWE performances.
Before tying the knot with Lesnar, Sable was married to another WWE performer: the now-motivational speaker Marc Mero. Sable had one daughter with Mero and two sons with Lesnar and, believe it or not, she's now a 52-years-old grandmother! Unlike Lesnar, she no longer competes in the WWE wrestling promotion.
Pat Barry & Rose Namajunas
With Pat and Rose, life is all about the mixed martial arts business. A renowned kickboxing athlete, Pat Barry has competed in the UFC for five years before retiring in 2013. As for Namajunas, she continues to show her skills at the ring of the UFC women's strawweight division. She is a former champion of the category, and one of the best-known MMA female athletes on the promotion.
Pat and Rose's love story started with a controversy. Reportedly, Rose was still a minor back when she began dating Barry, who was then her training partner. Now engaged, Barry and Namajunas have left the criticism behind and have managed to stay together, despite their 13-years age difference.
Daniel Cormier & Salina
Daniel Cormier and his wife Salina have been together since his first fight, and they've shared an inspiring rags-to-riches story. In an interview with Bleach Report, Cormier admitted that he and his family were at one point struggling economically, depending on welfare, and not knowing if they were going to be able to pay their monthly expenses.
Well, money is no longer an issue at the household, especially considering that Cormier has become one of the most notable championship collectors in the UFC promotion. At one point, he even held the heavyweight and lightweight championships simultaneously.
Khabib Nurmagomedov & Patimat Nurmagomedov
The Russian Eagle Khabib Nurmagomedov is an extremely talented UFC competitor with an unbelievable record of 28 wins out of 28 matches. Unlike other UFC household names, Khabib likes to let his fists do all the talking. He makes almost no fuss outside of the ring, and his wife Patimat is one of the most discreet on our list.
Not much is known about Patimat, who is probably not interested in making a career out of being Nurmagomedov's girl. Reportedly, Khabib and Patimat have known each other for a long time and have even sat together in class. They got married in 2011, back when Khabib was only 22-years-old, and they share two young children.
Dan Henderson & Rachel Malter
Another retired MMA athlete to make it into our list; Dan Henderson can feel nothing but pride for his outstanding career and outstanding wife. In the ring, he's known as a man with a unique ability to knock-out mixed martial arts champions; he did it on 21 occasions and in four different promotions, including UFC.
But in love, Henderson is perhaps even more blessed. His wife is the beautiful Rachel Malter, who he reportedly married only 1 hour after proposing. Ever since she appeared in the octagon to support her husband, Malter has been a popular figure amongst MMA fans.
Kyle Kingsbury & Natasha Wicks
Judging by Kyle and Natasha's Instagram page, the life of a former UFC athlete is filled with joy, trips to the lake, workout routines, and matching pajamas. Kyle and Natasha share a beautiful daughter, but there is even more good news on the way: Natasha is pregnant with a second child!
Both Kyle and Natasha have a past in the UFC since Natasha has once worked as a ring girl. They are a very active and sports-minded couple, with Natasha still competing in racetrack events.
Vitor Belfort & Joana Prado
Now signed to ONE Championship, Vitor Belfort is a former UFC competitor who won the UFC 12 Heavyweight Championship. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, Belfort is married to the beautiful Joana Prado since 2003.
The Brazilian power-couple now lives in Boca Raton, Florida. They have three children. Besides being a former model and game-show host, Prado is a fierce businesswoman. She manages Belfort's career and also owns a couple of gyms in both Brazil and the U.S.
Tyron Woodley & Averi Woodley
A former UFC Welterweight Champion, Tyron Woodley, is a man of many talents. Woodley's not only impressive on the ring but also outside of it. He's met success as an actor, rapper, broadcast analyst, and husband. After all, he's married to the beautiful Averi Woodley.
Averi lives with Woodley in St. Louis, where they run a gym together. An intelligent and athletic woman, Averi has a Master's Degree in public administration, which is probably very handy when it comes to managing a gym.
Randy Couture & Kim Couture
Randy Couture is a brave man who loves a good fight. He's not only a former 6-times UFC champion, but he was also an accomplished Greco-Roman Wrestling athlete and U.S. Army sergeant. An International Sports Hall of Fame inductee, Couture, was married to a former student, Kim, but the two filed for divorce in 2009.
Despite the divorce, Randy and Kim have continued to practice together, and their son Ryan Couture has probably also made it to the training sessions. Ryan is now following on the family business and competes in Bellator's MMA welterweight division.
Randy Couture & Mindy Robinson
We're not done with Randy Couture yet! Because after his divorce, he found love in the arms of the woman who's arguably the most famous UFC wife & girlfriend on our list. She's Mindy Robinson, an American actress/reality T.V. superstar who has recently made it into politics.
The beautiful Mindy has appeared in tenths of films and series since the early 2010s and, at 40 years of age, still has a lot to give us. In 2020, she decided to run in the Republican primary for Nevada's 3rd congressional district but ended up losing.
Kenny Florian & Clark Gilmer
Retired from the ring since 2012, Kenny Florian has not left the world of mixed martial arts entirely. He currently applies his technical knowledge at Fox, where he works as a UFC color commentator. A successful and likable character, Florian was graced with a beautiful family and wife.
Clark Gilmer is a model with a beautiful smile who has joined her husband on Fox Sports on a couple of occasions. Talented and good-looking, Florian and Gilmer are also wealthy. In 2017, they listed their luxurious Hollywood Hills house for a whopping $3.1 million.
Andrei Arlovski & Patrycja Mikula
A list of UFC wives and girlfriend wouldn't be complete without the charismatic Patrycja Mikula. She's no longer together with Arlovski, but the former UFC heavyweight champion and the Polish model shared a torrid relationship in the past.
Much wiser and dedicated to family than before, Mikula has decided to settle down with countryman Krzysztof Król, who she married in 2010. Król is a former MLS soccer player who has once played for the reserves team of Real Madrid.
Jake Ellenberger & Jordan McDonald
Once a mixed martial arts power-couple, Jake Ellenberger and Jordan McDonald are no longer together. Still, they have shared a passionate relationship in the past and are still one of our favorite UFC couples.
Retired from the ring since 2018, Ellenberger was known as "The Juggernaut" and had a profitable 13-years career as a mixed martial arts athlete. A former U.S. Marine, Ellenberger fought a whopping total of 46 matches, from which he collected 31 wins.
Brandon Vera & Kerry Kasik
At 42-years-old, former UFC athlete Brandon Vera has left the past behind to focus on the present. He's the current ONE Heavyweight Champion, and he fights with an energy and power we're not used to seeing in an over-forty competitor. Vera's also found a new love in life.
From 2006 to 2016, Vera was married to Kerry Kasik, a Muay Thai athlete with a short but respectable mixed martial arts record: 2 wins out of 2 matches. In 2018, Vera tied the knot with his new girlfriend, Jessica Craven, in a ceremony on the island of Guam.
Ross Pearson & Kristie Jane Pearson
Ross Pearson is a lucky guy. The UFC and boxing athlete from England is known as "The Real Deal," but the nickname would fit his wife even better. Kristie Jane Pearson is a former ring girl and model from Australia who dated Pearson for three years before tying the knot.
Ross and Kristie got married in 2016 and had their first child, a baby girl, in 2016. They now live together in Central Coast, Australia, where Ross dedicates to his motocross hobby, and Kristie keeps busy surfing and biking. Ross still competes in the UFC, though, where he holds a record of 20 wins in 38 matches.
