The top female mixed martial arts fighter star is ready to twist more than a few arms in the state capital to help legalize the controversial bouts in New York State.

Ultimate Fight Champion bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will meet with Gov. Cuomo and state legislators in Albany on Monday and Tuesday to lobby for MMA bouts in New York venues — including Madison Square Garden and the Barclays Center.

New York is the only state where the globally popular mixed martial fights are prohibited.

UFC spokesman Steve Greenberg was hopeful that Rousey would convince enough Democratic members of the Assembly — particularly female legislators who claim the sport is too barbaric and promotes violence — to lift the choke hold on the bouts.

Rousey’s visit comes as Cuomo and legislators are “very close” to making a deal to include a provision the state budget to legalize MMA, a source close to budget negotiations said.

Cuomo had hinted that the controversial sport would be a welcome addition to bring economic development to upstate areas after he banned fracking.

“This is a big sport, and it’s growing,” Cuomo said earlier this month. “It can create jobs and economic growth in the state of New York — and I’m interested in it.”

His fracking decision was derided in small towns in the Southern tier, some of which threatened to secede from the state and join Pennsylvania.

Dana White, president of MMA’s promotional company UFC, was optimistic about the progress in Albany last week during a visit to the city.

“We’ve been fighting for this for years, and I mean really fighting hard to get MMA in New York City,” White told The Post.

“This has been a long time coming.”

White said the UFC had sent lawyers to the capital in an effort to finalize a deal and that disgraced former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was the “last obstacle.”

UFC officials have long been suspicious of Silver and his alleged ties to interests in Las Vegas.

“The UFC has been forced to go to New Jersey for a long time now because of this, and that’s 100 percent because of corruption,” MMA commentator Joe Rogan said last month.

“Now that this crook is out of the political picture, we may finally see the UFC in New York.”

Speaker Carl Heastie is a supporter of the sport and has co-sponsored legislation to legalize it in the past.

The legislation will need to be part of a larger agreement that includes contentious issues such as ethics reform, and tax credits for private schools.
