Icon13 Im sick of seeing supposed MMA fans not welcoming Womens division to the UFC!

As an oldschool fan myself, (ya one of those who actually saw the live PPV of Ultimate Fighting Challenge) Im just about sick of seeing fans not welcoming Womens MMA to the UFC.

I understand that a lot of Sherdoggers are tards, bro's, jocks, twits, wannabee's, JUST BLEED'ers, and some are barely fans of the sport but give me a fucking break. Enjoying womens MMA doesnt make you less of a man. Just because some of you feel less empowered than them doesnt mean that Womens MMA is a bad thing. Get your ego's in check because guess what, there are women out there that can kick each and every one of your asses..and eventually you will call her your wife (ba dum bum).

Where are all the martial art fans at? Where have all the true MMA fans gone? Where all the Gracie fans who saw one family change the landscape of fighting forever? Hasnt Rousey re-invigorated your fascination with Judo/BJJ with here 6 1st round armbars like it has for me?! Have we become the minority around here? This sport has evolved over the years and us hardcore fans have supported it every step of the way. Is it just the new breed of fans that are hating on this change?

In fact, I was surprised the UFC hadnt picked up a womens division when Gina Carano was making huge waves and getting big PPV numbers over at Strikeforce. I guess Dana White was a lot like most of the naysayers we have nowadays, but even he changed his tune. So, why dont a lot of you?

Sure the Womens division isnt that deep yet. But hey, now that the UFC has opened the big $$ floodgates I know we will be seeing that division swell up from all the female MMA fighters out there training and those young ladies who see Ronda Rousey as a role model to shoot for just like some of us did when we starting taking BJJ because of Royce, wrestling because of Shamrock, Muay Thai because of Wanderlei, etc...

Dont you see that its the future? Why talk crap about Womens MMA coming to the UFC? A lot of you who do sound like the same douchebags who said MMA was "barbaric" and "human c0ckfighting" back in the day.

Evolve with the sport or the sport will evolve without you.

Skill level isn't there yet. Most top level female MMA fights look like amateur male MMA fights. I'd be happy to see women's MMA in the UFC in the future, but today I'm not interested.

Agree with this 100%, saying the women's divisions are shallow is a huge understatement.

Do you watch the WNBA too?

Women's sports just aren't as good as men's sports.

It's science.

Simply put, some people would rather not watch women beat each other. Call them old school.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I'm not going to go around and change peoples minds but if they don't like it don't watch it plain an simple.

Right now, it looks more like a "Ronda Rousey Division" than a "Women Division"...

Dude the pro wmma side is still winning the poll on sherdog.

Here .... on Sherdog man, SHERDOG! Where respecting women is optional.

Calm down we'll be fine and all have the opportunity to watch Ronda and other future wmma ladies put the fear of god into our boners .... Fearection.

So since Royce Gracie was beating everyone in UFC 1-3 with basic BJJ because the other martial artists were at "amatuer" level then no one shouldve watching the groundbreaking start of the UFC?

And I'm sick of people acting like they're better because they want women in the UFC.

It doesn't make you a hardcore old school fan so please, stop. I will watch any mma fight, but seriously, they just don't belong in the UFC skill level wise.
