I know not everyone may feel this way, but I personally find women's MMA to be a plague to the UFC. Rousey brought it to the UFC and was a true superstar but once that got derailed we're stuck with cards being plagued by shitty fights that seem light years behind men's MMA in technical skill and obviously will never be able to compete with the athleticism displayed in some of the men's fights. There's a reason WNBA, women's boxing, women's soccer, really no sport that has a women's counterpart to it, can't even compete in the same universe in terms of money (because of the viewership+crowds those other sports draw) as their men's counterpart. The difference is, the NBA doesn't cut out mid-game and force us to watch a WNBA game when none of us give a fuck about the WNBA and just want to watch the ending of our fucking game.

UFC obviously can't just get rid of women's MMA or treat them differently because the backlash it would cause and possible legal issues. It's a plague and I'm sick of watching a good card then out of nowhere 2 women nobody has ever heard of put on the worst technical display of skills for a boring 3 round fight that wastes 30 mins of your life as you're just waiting to get to the next fight. For me, there's not a single female fighter or a female fight that could be put on that would be worth buying a PPV for. If it's a stacked card and there happens to be a women's fight on it, I view as I'll suffer through it so I can watch the shit I want to see.


TLDR: women's mma is awful. Make full women's cards for them or something


The only thing I disagree with is the fact I would easily pay real money to watch Cyborg fight a man. I don't care what kind of man. Could be someone her size and untrained or a small 115lb trained guy. I'd pay full ppv price to watch it

Lol... hes 31. He has been under performing i agree but 31 is still fairly young.



Bruh, he’s an OLD 31 though. Kinda like Shogun. The body of some just can’t handle the pressure.

I recently rewatched Brown/Aldo and then Aldo/Faber right at the end of WEC, that Jose was fluid as anyone ever. The leg kicks were a big part of it, but he could throw combos off those insane leg kicks that were ko’ing guys.

In the Faber fight was one combo that started low kick ended with a head kick, was just spectacular. I realized that Aldo is gone, he can’t move like that any more. He can still stuff a TD, but his explosiveness is much less than before.

Could be PED’s, but I think it’s more just a case of time catches up with everyone.

Yeah but that's a circus act, I'd pay to watch that too. Cyborg is closer to a man than a woman biologically due to years of PED abuse so her fighting women isn't really even fair. If she fights any of the top bantam or featherweights (male) she'd leave in a stretcher

In terms of women's mma, I'd be interested to see what % of fans actually enjoy watching that shit vs what % just tolerates it

Been anti-wmma for a long time.

I consider it a nice time to walk the dog in between fights.

Yeah it's get food/drinks/use bathroom/talk about other fights on the card time for me.

wmma constantly improve since Dana brought Ronda in the organisation. Also, and most of a time, fights are competitive and more technical.
Joanna vs Rose 2 was in every aspects was the better fight of the event !

Wouldn't want to see most of them with less clothing.

PVZ and waterson wouldn't be too bad for a nude fight

You can chalk one on the side of someone enjoying watching it. I'm not sure how you could have seen the fights I have, and not?

To counter your earlier argument... have you seen some of the fights these fucking men put on?! Now let's counter that with ANY Namajunas fight.

Reading your other comments though, it all makes sense.. "PVZ and waterson wouldn't be too bad for a nude fight". You wouldn't know a jab if it slapped you across the ass.
