Did you know that a WMMA fight was almost made for UFC 51 in 2005 ?

Loretta Hunt, news editor for Sherdog.com, reports, "I know for a fact the UFC was considering a female bout between Erica Montoya and the late Shelby Walker a few years ago."[2] About this planned but never realized fight, "Big Dog" Benny Henderson Jr. asked Shelby Walker, "It has been rumored that you may fight Erika Montoya at UFC 51, is there any truth to those rumors?" Walker replied, "Yeah there is truth to those rumors, it has been talked about a lot and when I asked Dana White if he was going to put us on the show he said possibly, so that is where it stands right now. I haven’t heard anything more from this but my biggest dream would be to fight in the UFC."[3]

Erica montoya was probably the first big "name" for womens mma.

She was in a UFC game for ps2 back then.


If that fight was booked in 05',
Do you think the UFC would have made a women division right away?

Well, she's only 33, it's a shame she stopped fighting so long ago.

We held on to our man card for a few years more before the equality fruitcakes poisoned the table.
