Anastasia Yankova (MMA)
Anastasia Yankova’s childhood obsession with Xena: Warrior Princess inspired her to become a fierce fighter herself. She became a skilled mixed martial artist in her teenage years, and went on to compete in the flyweight division of the Bellator MMA.
Yankova quickly scored a sponsorship deal with Nike and started attending high-profile events. This photo shows her at Spike TV’s 10th Annual Guys Choice Awards, where she wore an adorable mini jumpsuit. She was able to fully showcase her amazing tattoos thanks to this fashion choice.
Candace Parker (Basketball)
If you think that Parker’s last name sounds familiar, it’s because she happens to be the younger sister of NBA player Anthony Parker. She followed in his footsteps, and found enormous success with her WNBA team Los Angeles Sparks and won two golds at the Olympics representing the US.
Parker attends the NBA Awards on a regular basis, and she didn’t miss the ceremony in 2017, when she hit the red carpet in a classy black jumpsuit. She added a matching choker to the mix, and a pair of velvety strappy heels.
