10 Female Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2023

Josefine Lindgren Knutsson (Strawweight)

26 | 5’3” | Bromma, Sweden | 4-0 | 1 finish | 1 KO/TKO | Combined Opponents’ Record: 17-8 | Best win – Ye Dam Seo (6-2)

Knutsson has an extensive kickboxing career. Her kickboxing record is 27-5 and she has beat girls like Mellony Geugjes and Kana Morimoto. She also has a background in amateur Muay Thai and was the 2018 IFMA World Championships gold medallist. She just fought on the Road to the UFC in Singapore and won under those big lights. Eyes are most definitely on her.

Knutsson will always have her takedown defense tested, and so far she hasn’t been taken down at all. Instead, Knutsson has been the one to get takedowns. She fights with a lot of volume, feints, and power. She also throws combinations along with her kicks, but her striking altogether is excellent. Knutsson could possibly be the real deal indeed.
