Diamond Adams (a Female) beats a Man in Army Mixed Combatives - How is this possible?

I don't care if you think it's sexist, it's the truth, like it or not. "A woman of capable of doing anything a man can do"...what an overactive imagination you have. Let's see her deadlift 600 lbs. Let's see her carry 250 lbs of gear on her back through the woods for 10 miles. Let's see her beat up Khabib or Max Holloway. Hell, let's see her beat up one of the biggest cans in the men's flyweight division, JP Buys. Even Molly McCann would run circles around her.

You just sound like some femdom weirdo who wants people to post more videos or stories of women beating men, but you're not getting anything to your satisfaction. It sounds to me like the "US Army Military Mixed Combats" is cherry picking low-level opponents that are so small that the women outweigh them by 10 lbs, and these male opponents are probably discouraged from going 100%. This division is an abomination and an absolute disgrace to the US military's reputation. There are 15-year-old Israeli boys that would have their way with any of them. Hell, I would put money on any 12-year-old male Dagestani sambo practitioner to beat them.
Khabib and Max are great and fighters and athletes. They are exceptional. I doubt even other men can beat Khabib. Kayla, Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes are exceptional can almost take any male fighter in their weight classes. Kayla is a Judo gold medalist. No joke. Some of you wont believe until she starts fighting men.

In BJJ, it is very normal for a higher belt woman to beat a man that has a lower belt.

So you went from "how is this even possible" to "women with 10-40 pounds advantage" to "they can almost take any male fighter in their weight classes". No. Just stop the bullshit already you neutered weirdo. I've watched all of Kayla's fights since she debuted in PFL, I am well aware of her credentials.

Are you trying to tell me that Kayla and Nunes can beat the likes of Petr Yan, Figgy, Merab, O'Malley, Sandhagen, Umar, Cejudo, ect. or that Cyborg could beat the likes of Volk, Topuria, Holloway, Emmett, Lopes, Yair, ect.? Is that what you're trying to tell us now? Those women would get absolutely steamrolled.

Henry Cejudo is tiny when one compares with Kayla Harrison. Maybe he can beat her in striking. Once he goes to the ground, it can go interesting. I think he can either get chocked or armbarred.

Kayla has 7 submission wins in her 19 fights, one of them was vs old ass Holly Holm, the other 6 were vs absolute cans in PFL. Any halfway decent fighter she's gone up against, besides Holly, it went to decision. But she's going to "chock" or armbar Henry Cejudo? Kayla got 2 (out of 8) takedowns with 8 minutes of control time against Ketlen Viera and couldn't get a submission or even attempt one, but she's going to submit a 2-division UFC men's champion?
Put down the crack pipe.
 
There is not a female on this planet that I would favor to beat the Guatemalan
90
man on the left in an actual to the death unarmed fight
 
It's all bullshit anyway. Men are not wired to fight women. This whole "everyone is the same" bullshit is, just as planned, designed to make men and women hate each other. It's all globalist bullshit.

Female fighters can´t beat any man in the UFC of any weight class. You are delusional. Post a pro MMA fight of a female beating a man, it won´t get sanctioned. Females got 1/3 of male fighting abilites. They are weak warriors compared to us.

Can we take my yellow card and give them to this guy ? He thinks Kayla can outwrestle Henry. Maybe take a bjj or wrestling class once in your life before comming onlien and talking bout things you clearly don´t know ?
 
That's sexism. A woman of capable of doing anything a man can do. The division is US Army Military Mixed Combats that happens several times a year. It is a division with no mercy where women can fight against men. They are only given a 10 pound advantage, so the fights are more competitive and balanced. Times have shown that. The organizations like UFC, PFL and Bellator might have more skilled fighters, but they are too soft on women and underestimate them.
I wanna fight you, are you a woman ? I am down to knock you out. Your takes are apsolutely ridicolous. In 98% of scenarious man demolish woman. Your takes are so ridiulous. No women are not man. No we are not identical. Women are weaker. Who calls the police cause of domestic violence, man or women ? Who gets graped ? Like dude stop it. Women are genetically inferior fighters, facts of life.

In general, most men would beat most women, but there are exceptions. Some women are very strong and skilled like Amanda Leve, Kayla, Cris Cyborg, Amanda Nunes. Don't forget Gabi Garcia as well who defeated Wanderlei Silva (a great legend) in training by chocking him. There is a video of it. I will post that if I find.
 
As a veteran of about 20 Army Combatives tournaments let me tell you how and why this happened. I've competed in them. I've refereed them. I got my lvl4 cert back in 2010.

First, it was just the laws of probability. Out of the thousands of male vs female matches at these tournaments very rarely do any women win. But sometimes they do! I've seen maybe 2 out of 40?

Second, this was not the All Army tournament. It had to be a post wide competition. These can vary in size greatly. Maybe this division only had 8 competitors. This greatly increases the odds for her to get to the finals. When we were able, we always matched women against women in the early rounds so they wouldn't just be torn apart.

Third, there is a weight handicap for women. It used to be a percentage and I believe now it is a flat 10#. That is absolutely HUGE for the lightweights.

Fourth, these fights are progressive over the course of several days. The first rounds are all grappling. Quarterfinals will be pancrase rules with 1x 10min round using shin protection. The finals will be MMA rules. This means that good grapplers will always dominate. Women with good grappling skill (blue or purple belt BJJ) will usually make it a few rounds in. But I have never seen a woman knock out a man in a Combatives tournament. I've seen a bunch that ended in cringe level TKO ground n pounds where the female is carried out of the cage. This fight ended in a submission - par for the course on women victories in these inter-gender competitions.

Bottom line - it's a complete anomaly. This almost never happens in the finals of an Army Combatives tournament. 998/1000 she would be getting carried out.
 
The top 5% female fighters can beat up the bottom 5% males. Sure. Doesnt change the fact that 95% of males beat 95% of females.
The bottom 50% of male have no idea how to even fight. Neither do the bottom 95% of women either. I'd say your math isn't wrong, but misleading at the same time. I'd say the top .001% of females. Or most professional and (good) amateur female fighters, olympic Judo and wrestlers, can probably beat the bottom 50% of male by simply not gassing out in the first minute of the fight and then doing literally whatever they want to them. It all changes when the male actually know how to fight and has a gas tank longer than a minute. Or when the size barrier is too extreme, which usually includes needing a certain level of athletics or the result is still gassing in a minute.

In MMA, a win is a win whether it's by submission or KO. Do you still think a skilled woman can compete with a skilled man if they are given a weight advantage?

Out of the 2 of the 40 matches, you have seen women beating men. What was the reason that a man lost to a woman? Was it because of a skill or weight?

1) I was simply observing that a good grappler, whether male or female, will advance in Army Combatives tournaments. And the majority of wins in any tournament will be through grappling points or submission. Good strikers who have no/limited grappling never advance to the finals where they can shine.

2) IMHO A *HIGHLY* skilled woman can compete with a less skilled man if they outweigh them. If they are of equal skill, 10# of weight is inconsequential to the strength, speed, and endurance of a male.

There is obviously a sliding scale of disparity for both weight and skill. An average purple belt female with a 20# weight advantage will still get mauled by a good bluebelt male.

3) The women beating men in Combatives were usually by points in grappling. I don't think I saw a submission.

However, men are usually uncomfortable competing against them. Nobody wanted to be known for wrecking some chick so they would go easier on them - even if it was subconscious.

Honestly it was always skill. When some girl who has competed as a blue belt in BJJ gets pitted against some fresh recruit who just his lvl1 combatives certification it's a slaughter. She might get rag dolled a bit but they always get points.
 
No woman in the UFC can defeat any of the man in the UFC. Whoever the champs is beats 0.0% of the male UFC fighters.

I think a heavyweight like Gabi Garcia or Kayla Harrison should be able to beat UFC men that weigh 115 pounds or less. The guys won't have strength to grapple.

115 lb men in the UFC? That’s nobody.

I’m sure they could beat a number of 125lb and 135lb amateur MMA fighters. Some 125 and 135 pros with a 0- to at the start of their record. Maybe a few with 1 or 2 wins. I’d bet on Kayla easily over Kenneth Allen for example. Regular guys with no fighting background, and no tough sports like hockey, rugby, or even football at a college level, I would say she beats 99.9% But there is no male fighter in the UFC she beats though. Even the 125ers are surprisingly strong for their size, plus they are fast as hell with crazy cardio.
