Jessica Aguilar has seen it all unfold right before her eyes. The combat sports veteran is a witness to how far women have come in mixed martial arts. Aguilar (20-8) began fighting professionally in 2006, years before women took center stage in major promotions and way before women were competing in the UFC. Almost 15 years later, Aguilar is still fighting in the cage, but in a much different sport. Today, women have stakes in the biggest fights, events and moments in MMA. There is no major MMA organization that doesn’t have a women’s division on its roster.
