In February Swedish MMA pioneer Lina Länsberg decided to hang up her gloves for good.

“Thank you so much for all the love and support. This has been a hell of a ride and to start fighting is the best thing I’ve ever done. It has given me so much. But now it’s time to move on. I’m done,” Länsberg wrote on Instagram.

”Elbow Queen” was the first Swedish woman to compete in the UFC. Her biggest wins came against Macy Chiasson and former long-time Invicta FC bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger.
