15 Female Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2021

Svetlana “The Phoenix Bird” Gotsyk (Strawweight)

23 | 5’2” | Kamianskoe, Ukraine | 13-4 | 12 Finishes | 3 KO/TKOs, 9 Submissions (Armbar, RNC) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 32-21-2 | Best Win – Magdaléna Šormová (9-1)

In the last eleven fights for Svetlana Gotsyk, her only loss was to a good prospect in Magdalena Sormova. In her last fight, she re-matched Sormova and this time got her revenge with a first-round finish. Gotsyk is a two-time (and current) WWFC champion, a promotion out of Ukraine.

Gotsyk is mainly a wrestler with ferocious ground and pound until she sees an opening for an armbar. On the feet, she stands at 5″2′ making it hard for her to get inside and strike, but that doesn’t affect her being able to stand and brawl, which is where she thrives. She is still really green but is young and getting better with each fight. One of her four losses came early in her career to current UFC strawweight champion Weili Zhang.
