Before everyone jumps down my throat and starts calling me a sexist or a ignorant, macho idiot etc, etc let me explain. Recently there have been talks about the UFC getting rid of the men's 125 pound division. Beside PPV sales not selling like the UFC would like, there are also respected MMA ex-fighter/Journalist such as Brendan Schaub who don't have much interest in the division for reasons such as them being too small or not packing KO power.
In many ways Brendan Schaub's feelings towards the 125 pound division is much like the way I feel about women in the UFC. Ive been a UFC fan since UFC 1 and when women started fighting in the UFC it bothered me, didn't make sense. Just like a NBA fan wouldn't watch a WNBA game over a NBA game. Much like a NFL fan is not gonna want to see a women's NFL game on NFL sunday. Hope i'm making sense.
I have nothing against womens MMA, I enjoy it, probably as much as I enjoy kickboxing but I still don't want to see it together with men's UFC. Maybe a UFCW for women but I think even though alot of MMA journalists and personalities feel the same way I do there afraid to speak up for fear of media back lash.
I would like to take a vote here on sherdog, Yes for women in the UFC or no for not having women fight in the same all men's UFC card. Basically yes for women in the UFC and No for women off the UFC cards. Please respond with your opinion or just a simple yes or no and if you can include your age i'd appreciate it. Thanks to all who participate.
