Every year, Ask Men magazine puts together their annual "Crush List," where they run down the top 99 women men just can't stop thinking about, or have a crush on. Ask Men also considers "crush" as a verb, using it to describe women who "kick (expletive) at something, own it, dominate it, ace it."
Well, I guess you could say MMA fighters crushed this year's "Crush List," as former UFC champion Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm, as well as current champion Miesha Tate and fighter-turned-actress Gina Carano all made the cut.
Carano landed at No. 51 after taking a big step in her acting career by starring in the movie "Deadpool". Tate came in strong at No. 34 following her come-from-behind victory to win the women's bantamweight title earlier this year. Former champ Rousey took the 11th spot after her huge 2015, when she became a bona-fide superstar and helped take women's MMA to new heights.
And taking the highest spot of any athlete listed is Holly Holm at No. 5. I don't have to tell you how Holm rocked everyone's world in 2015 but in case you forgot, "The Preacher's Daughter" became the first woman to beat Rousey after stopping "Rowdy" with a vicious head-kick knockout at UFC 193.
The stunningly good looks are just a small part of what Carano, Tate, Holm and Rousey bring to the table, so there's no question why they all ranked so high on this year's list.
