Women street fighters

This chick is known mostly as Ronda prototype because she fought in the late 90s and is a judoka but she was also a street brawler as well!

In combat sports history, has there been any female fighters who were considered fighters, not athletes? Like a Tank Abbott type personality. Not a misogynist and not saying I don't respect or want female fighters either, I do. Just not aware of any and would be interested to know about her/they if there is.

I know there have been a few. I can't recall much about specifics as that kind of scene existed on the fringes years ago. Mostly in Japan. I think it was referred to as "pavement" (Edit) or "Cement Match" fights. Really underground stuff. (Edit) Probably closes to old school "toughman" stuff from the late 70s to 80s.

Here is an old thread from fightergirls that has several women and fans from that period speaking of some of their experiences prior to becoming MMA fighters, training, and the differences between being trained or not.

I recall reading a very informative post, many years ago, on fightergirls on really early female fighters of this kind. I'm not sure if that thread even exists anymore on that site.

Not what you are looking for but it is early evolution of women's mma in Japan.

Here is a little more information:

In Thailand and Birma they organise bare knuckle thaiboxing matches, still!!

Master A's and Master Toddy's Women's Teams will enter the bare knuckle fight.

L-R, Michelle Grizzle, Rachel Jones, Christine Toledo
headed for Thailand and bare knuckle wars


Michelle Grizzle (Master A's), Rachel Jones (Dave Croft and Master A's) and Christine Toledo, (one of Toddy's Angels) will be fighting at Measod ,Thailand on the border between Thailand and Burma.
The women are training hard and looking forward to this event, this will be the first Master A's Women's Team from the UK to enter the bare knuckle fight. The fights will take place on the 13th April 2005.

Bare-knuckle fighting allows strikes to any part of the body. The blows are so numerous that it will take two referees just to regulate the action. Head butts, kicks to the head while the fighter is down, hands wrapped only in cotton rope, Each bout will be 5 rounds and 3 minutes. The only way to win is by a bloody KNOCK OUT!

A few other comments from people who have fought barehanded ....

UFC's Leslie Smith defends female friend by beating the crap out of male groper
by Marc Raimondi@marc_raimondi Jun 1, 2015

"I followed him and I was like, 'Hey, you can't do that,'" Smith said. "And he was like, 'I can do whatever I want.' And I was like, 'No, you can't.' Then he turned around and spit on me and threw a big right hand."

He didn't connect. Instead, he grabbed Smith's hair and the two got into somewhat of a clinch. Obviously the guy, who was bigger than Smith, didn't realize he was scrapping with a UFC fighter who trains with the likes of Gilbert Melendez and the Diaz brothers.

"He had my hair, so I pushed him against a building and then I double-legged him," Smith said. "I took him down against the cage and then I started to take his back, but his hair was really gross and it didn't quite feel right."

Smith is recovering from meniscus surgery, so she decided it would be too risky to take his back and get the full hooks in. So, she went with Plan B.

"I let go of that and just dropped elbows on him," Smith said. "He turned over and I just dropped elbows on him from mount against the building until he started saying, 'I'm sorry.' Then I stopped as soon as he said sorry, because that was really the only thing I went over there for."
 
Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler’s Gnarly Street Fight
Jul 7, 2015 // by Yael Grauer
https://thesportspost.com/mma-jessamyn-duke-shayna-baszler-street-fight/


...the woman hit her on the head with a baseball bat. “I got hit so hard that I remember my head turning and looking at the buildings across the street and just looking at them … I got hit so hard by that, and I shook it off, and I tried to turn back and look at her and I got hit again in the head. I didn’t fall down, I didn’t go down, but I remember I looked around the parking lot and now I was out in the middle of the street like a good 10 feet away [from where I was], so I think I staggered and got over there before I got my wits back about me,” Duke said. “I saw Jess get cracked in the head with a metal baseball bat about three or four times,” Baszler said. Duke remembered getting hit in the arm, shoulder, and ribs as well—at least 10 times in all.

Once she got her wits about her, Duke approached the girl.

“Jess is marching towards her and this girl is backing up, and Jess is like, ‘C’mon, you wanna hit me in the head again? C’mon!’ because she’s trying to get her to commit to a swing,” Baszler said. “It was the most bada** thing I’ve ever seen Jess do. She does this wicked Kali disarm on the girl. It was like something out of a martial arts movie.”

After completing the snake disarm, Duke had the bat close to her thighs. She kneed the girl and lifted her off the ground, and then saw Baszler out of her peripheral vision. Baszler lifted the girl up, and the girl lost her grip on Duke’s shirt and the bat, ripping Duke’s shirt half off in the process. Baszler took her down to the ground, mounted her, held her in a gift wrap, and meanly ground her face into the asphalt.

Baszler knelt behind the girl and had a rear-naked choke on her. “In my mind, I’m thinking, ‘I have to take her out, and it’s the safest way. That way you’re not pounding someone’s orbital in the dirt. This is legally the safest thing to do. I have her in a rear-naked choke, and the guy is screaming at us, ‘Please let us go! We’re so sorry! Please don’t kill her! Don’t kill her!’”

Ok, this gave me a raging boner. It looked like she was trying to forcefully breastfeed those women.

I had a similar thought when I watched that years ago. Still see when I think of it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the visual of it.

Hrm. On a different topic. Since I can't seem to keep myself away from memory lane from the old Fightergirls forums I came across a different topic on the forum but it is tangent to the subject of this thread so I will post a link to it. About fan starting to take women in MMA a bit more seriously back when Fatal Femmes Fighting was trying to take a stab at making a working all womens org in the US.

It's Ladies' Fight

Sofie Bagherdai, top, punches Stephanie Palmer, bottom, during a Fatal Femmes Fighting match at the Crystal Casino in Compton, Los Angeles, CA. on July 14, 2007. Palmer was taken out of the ring on a stretcher.
(Robert Gallagher for TIME)

You don't kick a girl when she's down, right? Not if you can pound her face instead. At the Fatal Femmes Fighting Championship, an all-female mixed-martial arts (MMA) event, almost anything goes in the cage. .....(Read the rest elsewhere.)
