Gabi Garcia is one of the strongest female MMA fighters in the world. With her tremendous looking body and the supreme strength many male fighters can only dream of, she celebrated her fifth professional MMA win.

Despite it was Veronica Futina’s MMA debut, she really gave a hard time to Gabi Garcia in the stand-up. Gabi might hit the Russian with a lucky jab and put the fight to the ground early on. And when such a strong girl like Garcia, a former BJJ champion of the world, establishes full mount, you basically have no chances of escaping!
Gabi landed some skull crushing shots from the mount but Futina defended to a half guard, leaving herself open for Kimura. Despite the first successful defense, Gabi Garcia switched to a straight armbar attempt. Futina defended again but gave her back, which enabled a textbook rear-naked choke victory to a Brazilian superstar.
Gabi weighed 235.2 pounds before the match, while Futina had only 190.9 pounds. A significant weight and muscle difference! Gabi Garcia improved her professional MMA score to 5-0-0, 1 NC.
