With the strength of her fists and her feet, she has built an outstanding career and the opportunity to cap off the achievement with a world championship in MMA.

While Loiseau started MMA late, she has shot up the rankings. She is one of the best French fighters with a lot of ambition.

“The ultimate goal is to get a belt to establish my legitimacy,” Loiseau said. She trains out of RNKFight Paris in Paris, France.
