'''Bec Rawlings''' (born 11 February 1989) is an Australian mixed martial artist and bare-knuckle boxer, who currently competes in the flyweight division. As of April 13, 2026, Rawlings is ranked #3 in the BKFC women's flyweight rankings.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BKFC Fighters - Rankings|url=https://www.bkfc.com/fighters/division/p4p|access-date=2026-04-13|website=Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship}}</ref>
==Background== Rawlings was raised in Tasmania, and frequently played sports such as basketball, gymnastics and athletics during her pre-teens.<ref name="Short Cut To Stardom" /> As a teenager, however, Rawlings experienced rapid weight gain and suffered from a lack of motivation before turning to the sport of mixed martial arts as a way to battle her issues in 2010.<ref name="Short Cut To Stardom" /> This is where she met Australian professional MMA fighter Dan Hyatt, and decided that she wanted to become an MMA fighter.<ref name="Short Cut To Stardom" />
==Mixed martial arts career==
===Australian competition=== Known for her aggressive fighting style, Rawlings began her mixed martial arts journey in Launceston, Tasmania in 2010 before relocating to Brisbane, Australia to further her opportunities and experience in early 2011. Rawlings made her professional MMA debut on 15 October 2011 at BRACE 12 in Hobart, Tasmania. Rawlings fought at bantamweight in her debut against Rhiannon Thompson. In what was declared "fight of the night" by the promotion, Rawlings lost her debut fight by way of a highlight reel head kick knockout.<ref name="Bec Hyatt Slated For Invicta Showdown">{{cite web | url=http://www.news.com.au/sport/boxing-mma/bec-rowdy-hyatt/story-fndkzthy-1226509673862 | title=Bec Hyatt Slated For Invicta Showdown | first=Ben | last=Harvy | publisher=News.com.au | date=3 November 2012 | access-date=9 January 2013 | archive-date=17 November 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121117212041/http://www.news.com.au/sport/boxing-mma/bec-rowdy-hyatt/story-fndkzthy-1226509673862 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
Bouncing back and publicly rallying within the Australian MMA circuit for more fight opportunities at her suited weight class, Rawlings secured consecutive submission victories over Sarah Morrison (at BRACE 14) and Daniela Marjanovic (at Australian Fighting Championship 3). Two more victories over Rachel Sheridan and Christina Tatnell propelled Rawlings to a four-fight winning streak in 2012. This streak, coupled with a noticeable lack of legitimate Australian opponents for Rawlings, caught North America's Invicta Fighting Championships' attention in late 2012.<ref name="Sherdog">{{cite web | url=http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Bec-Hyatt-84964/ | title=Bec Hyatt's Mixed Martial Arts Record | first=Jeff | last=Sherwood | publisher=Sherdog.com | date=9 January 2013 | access-date=9 January 2013}}</ref>
===Invicta Fighting Championships=== In November 2012, Rawlings signed a three-fight contract with Invicta Fighting Championships to compete in their strawweight division. She was originally scheduled to fight Joanne Calderwood on the undercard of Invicta FC 4: Esparza vs. Gadelha on 5 January 2013, but an injury to Cláudia Gadelha resulted in Rawlings being pushed up to an Invicta FC Strawweight Championship fight in the main event against Carla Esparza.<ref name="Hyatt_gets_call">{{cite web | url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2012/12/31/3820876/bec-hyatt-gets-call-to-fight-in-invicta-fc-4-strawweight-title-match | title=Bec Hyatt gets call to fight in Invicta FC 4 strawweight title match | first=Mike | last=Chiappetta | publisher=MMAFighting.com |date=31 December 2012 | access-date=4 January 2013}}</ref> Rawlings lost the fight via unanimous decision.<ref name="IFC_4_loss">{{cite web | url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Carla-Esparza-Outpoints-Bec-Hyatt-Seizes-Vacant-Invicta-Strawweight-Championship-48809 | title=Carla Esparza Outpoints Bec Hyatt, seizes vacant Invicta Strawweight Championship | first=Brian | last=Knapp | publisher=Sherdog.com |date=5 January 2013 | access-date=6 January 2013}}</ref>
