A few women can fight on men's card. Cyborg, Nunes, JJ/Rose etc. Just a few.
All it takes is one, huh, boss?

that just wouldn't be good for business. End of the day ufc is a company and they do whats best for business. female only cards wouldn't sellThis is for the male mma fans only since we probably make up 95% or more of this forum.
If UFC.com put out a poll with these two options regarding what should happen to WMMA:
1. Move all WMMA to invicta and have invicta cards available for free on FS1/FS2/FX
2. Leave it exactly how it is
Option #1 would be a no brainer for me. Surely the rest of you guys would vote unanimously for option #1... right?!

Which is shitty lolNah women also deserved to have some spot light. Its just that wmma hasn't catch up with the male in their skillset, but in a few year they will be good enough to be entertaining to the casual fan. The next generation of women fighter will be as good as the next generation of male fighter.
Sounding a bit Hitler-y there bro.
I didn't mean the concept, I meant the choice of wording (if they have the right to exist). No offence meant.Hitler? The father of capitalism is Adam Smith! You went full progressive with that analogy
I've got no problem with WMMA, I think only insecure puffters care tbh.
Nope. Not in a single one.If you take other sport women are often more technical than men because they use techniques to compensate their inferior physical strenght.
WMMA title fights are fine for PPVs
the rest can go on fight night cards
Yep, it's known that "a reasonably good boys high school team could beat the (Wnba champions)". Let that sink in. The champions of the women's "professional" league would lose to a boys high school team. It wouldn't take a minor league team, not even a college level team to beat the best women's team in the country, a moderately good boy's high school team can do it.
That's the biggest reason that women's basketball isn't a viable business. The only women sports that draw an audience, are not watched because the talent is on-par with men's, but because of sex appeal (i.e. Women's volleyball, diving, gymnastics, tennis, track & field).
Women's combat sports will never be as accepted nor as watched as men's.
sex appeal is pretty much why like more then half of wmma fighters are insta models/post teasing shit on their social media all the time. its the only way to generate interest. they wouldnt have as large a fanbase if they didn't do that kind of shit lol. thats why i laugh at the womens empowerment stuff sometimes - you see women talk about that and then their posting revealing pictures of themselves to get some buzzYep, it's known that "a reasonably good boys high school team could beat the (Wnba champions)".

thats true, but i dont think their will ever be another cyborg lol. im not even sure they'l keep womens 145 around much after shes gone. that divsion was created solely for her - how many other female fighters can fight in that class? they cant even put together a top 10 list of challengers, its been all 135ers coming up to fight cyborg. that division has no future once shes gone imoProblem is what happens when they retire? The only reason those guys became stars/draws is because they were allowed to fight on cards where everyone could see them.
if you relegate women to their own cards/promotion, you're not going to have any Cyborgs, Nunes, JJ's, etc in the future because no one is going to know who they are when you bring them up to the main card
And they were ranked 5th in the world at that time.
The US World Cup winning women's team lost 5-2 to an under 15 boys teams (and that's not even high school aged, that's fucking Middle Schoolers!)

The "best" women's soccer team in the world lost to a bunch of 14 year olds.
