Boxing is always better than mma buddy. So go with boxing and i am sure that you can prove your strength and become popular easily. But this is considered to be the dangerous sport than mma. So safe guard yourself with necessary boxing safety accessories.
Boxing, because it will be a lot harder for mma coaches to teach a girl because they are not used to it, also people for you to spar (practice fight) will be hard to find because most of the fighters. if your looking for just self defence boxing will be just fine because most fights are faught just using hands anyways. boxing also is great exersise and a huge confidence booster . good luck!
you can learn spanish from watching mma it seems, but otherwise not very useful....
Consider Judo. Great sport, will get you in TOP shape, you'll be able to handle yourself, and you won't have a flat nose or brain damage.
