EA Sports has revealed the top 10 ranked fighters for EA UFC 4 and some may be surprised with who sits in the pole position.

For the first time, a woman is the top-ranked fighter in the game with UFC women's bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes topping the list. Nunes isn't the only woman in the top five, as women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko comes in at No. 4. The roster has only four "5 Star" fighters in the game.

Along with Nunes and Shevchenko are UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (No. 2) and UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov (No. 3).
