Monthly Most Viewed – August 2014
Here is August’s “Monthly Most Viewed” article. Each month we have a look at the top ten most viewed female fighter profiles in the Awakening fighter database. We also now include places 11 to 20 because the database is growing quickly!
August’s viewing figures have increased ever so slightly from last month, and therefor we’re happy again to announce that we just had our busiest month. This is largely down to more people sharing our content and getting involved, so we are deeply appreciative of your support! It makes it all worth it!
August’s top ten sees athletes from five different countries, in the disciplines of MMA & Muay Thai. We’re surprised that there aren’t any boxers that have made this list after we had quite a month of heavy boxing articles published. This is one of the things that makes this list interesting, we have no idea how it will pan out each month!

There are numerous ways in which a female fighter may find herself making this top ten listing; there may have been a breaking news story related to them that sparked public interest, the global popularity of an athlete often is an obvious reason, Awakening might have published an article on them during that month, fans, promoters and coaches are looking for information due to an upcoming fight, or most powerfully, the profile was shared on social networks. This top ten listing is unique because it is based solely on what the Awakening readership views!
When fans and athletes share these fighter profiles on social networks, it creates the opportunity of being included into this listing alongside some of the world’s best known female fighter names. There are numerous benefits to this; it increases their presence on the net, it allows us the opportunity to show our thanks to those that have brought in the most traffic to us during that month, and of course… it just might make someone’s day!
We hope that you find these stats as interesting as we do! Next month’s listing should be interesting, what with everything that is going on in the WMMA calendar. Get sharing and "Liking" folks!
