WMMA has produced some incredible moments for the sport (Why the hate?)

[Corn Pop Hombre]

You guys know that you can critique the depth of talent and the lack of technique in WMMA AND also appreciate the truly skilled fighters in the divisions and the exciting fights that they can produce, right?

Kind of a cringe yet also hilarious tidbit, lmao - when Amanda Nunes started connecting on Cyborg me and my girlfriend both started jumping up and screaming (I converted her over to being a hardcore MMA fan and she understood the significance of the fight, GOAT vs GOAT and all) and when Nunes landed that last punch and schlumped Cyborg we just hugged and jumped and screamed in excitement. That shit was lit hahahaha. It was a totally involuntary reaction.

What is your favorite WMMA fight and can you appreciate good WMMA fights/fighters? You get two answers.

if you want to have a laughter induced seizure -

Happy friday brahs.

Don’t really have a favorite

I appreciate the skill but WMMA fights generally doesn’t interest me. Neither does the WNBA.

How are you going to leave this off the list?

Their second fight as well was a classic.

I don't hate WMMA. The quality of fights are just so far apart between the top fighters and the lower echelons. A lot of them also lack KO power so there's not that big anticipatory feeling of watch men fight (which explains why HW is exciting)

You have these in the same division. You won't see such a discrepancy in skills in any men's division

This forum really dislikes WMMA. (in general)

Being a woman here would be similar to a black dude showing up at a KKK rally.

Peopel dislike WMMA because it's a subpar level not because they dislike women.

A few bright spots does not make up for all the slow boring decisions that are prevalent in WMMA.

My favorite WMMA moment. TITTY BOXING!

 

[RustyShacleford]

Tate vs Holm for me. Tate's do or die performance in the fifth round, getting the rear-naked, totally sweet.

Why do you put Joanna Champion btw?

[Hellowhosthat]

Need Nunes Vs Zingano and Joanna Vs Claudia II, the 2nd and 3rd best WMMA fights imo.

 

[Alfonso Rodriguez]

I’m a fan of WMMA, but I understand why it might not be some people’s cup of tea. There is a lack of depth and the skill level hasn’t reached the men’s yet. I enjoy it for what it is, two ladies willing to throw down in a cage.


Miesha Tate vs Julie Kedzie and Leslie Smith vs Kaitlin Young 1 are my “hipster” choices lol

 

[Texan6533]

I do have to agree with other posters in saying that the talent level doesn’t appear to be as consistent top to bottom as in the men’s. There are some really good female fighters, but not enough to keep up great fights other than the top fighters in each division.

Miesha Tate/Julie Kedzie is my favorite female MMA fight but it wasn't on the list.
