Bio: Unlike most fighters, Cummins may be safer in the cage than in her day job. The Missouri native works as a police officer and volunteers for St. Louis Pet Rescue on a regular basis. After going a perfect 8-0 as an amateur, Cummins turned pro in 2011. After scoring back-to-back wins to open her career, Cummins was signed to Invicta and competed at the promotion’s inaugural event in 2012. Since then, she’s faced a gauntlet of the strawweight division’s best, including Joanne Calderwood and Alexa Grasso. However, in 2015, Cummins revealed her plans to drop to atomweight.

“I knew all I wanted to do was fight. I was naturally just an aggressive athlete. I wanted to try mixed martial arts, so my sophomore year of college I gave up my soccer scholarship, in order to train full time. I fell in love with the sport immediately.”
