Finally watched it, and man did it feel uncomfortable. I was on the fence with men vs women in mma, but I think that made my decision alot easier.
I was there that very night and recall it vividly.
The place was packed with a lot of ''avant la lettre'' girlpowerchicks all rooting for Lucia who, up until that very fight, was widely viewed upon as the best female fighter ever (which IMHO she still is to this very day) and it very much burst their bubble to say the least.
All Lucia's opponents had always crumbled or got flattened with a quickness as she went out to engage like she was bereserk. Like a lot of KO artists she therefore never really got a chance to develop other tactical or other skills due to lack of opposition. (something she did learn during her second career).
She typically came out guns blazing but from the very first instant it was painfully obvious she was way in over her head.
Man and woman are physically just too different,this fight should never have happened.
Champion of what?The guy is Somchai Jaidee, a 13-1 champion. Def. not a nobody, but an accomplished fighter. They were both in the same weight class. She's not bigger.
Champion of what?
A mans game is fighting women?Yeah she got her ass kicked. This is what you get when a woman want to play in a mans game.
14 fights in Muay Thai doesn't make you the slightest accomplished. This guy isn't worth debating he doesn't know anything.

And they would kick your ass too. I think I can kick your ass as well, but I fail to find the relevancy in these comments...My money's on this 14 fights Champion, kicking your ass. Rjiker would probably kick your ass too.
The implication was that fighting is a man's game. Clearly two women can fight each other without it being a man's game. I'm 35 so not exactly a youngin...Sounds like you don't know anything. Rjiker was destroying all the women and no one was left that wanted any part of her. That's why she wanted to test her skills vs. a Male Champion. You wouldn't know any of this because you were still just a sperm swimming in your dad's ball sack.
