Has wmma regressed?

[Ares Black]

Lol that's so stupid. You think girls who want to get punched in the face for a living only did it for social media?

Some people are really just stone cold stupid

I don't think he really thought that hypothesis through.

 

[Ares Black]

Well if you want that TV money but have no intellect or skill, then those women basically have reality TV or fighting.

Imagine thinking that being a professional cage fighter is an easy job.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Literally anywhere but Sherdog, pal.

Not sure about that. Back when a group of friends and I watched UFC live, the women hated WMMA way more than the guys. Guess they're self-hating misogynists according to @Ares Black

HW is 10x worse than it was 10-15 years ago.

The last 3 LHW champions wouldn't be in the top 5 10-15 years ago.

MW is worse and top 3 MWs today wouldn't be in the top 5 10 years ago either.

Women's MMA is unbearable but continues to be force fed on every card.

Soulless apex events.

The list goes on and on.

I can picture it now: Jones, Ngannou, Aspinall, Pavlovich, Blaydes and Gane breaking out in cold sweats at the thought of fighting such greats from a decade ago as... Brendan Schaub, Travis Browne and Bigfoot freaking Silva.

Followers of this sport get more and more rtarded as time goes on lmao.

 

[Ares Black]

What about that Invicta event for women, does it still exist?

Yes, and you should try watching it sometime:

Not Brendan Schaub!!

We get it, you enjoy an inferior product. You don’t need to post another 500 times.

I enjoy MMA in all of its many and varied forms.

Can't help but notice that instead of providing any support for the claims you went straight to ad hominems. Not a great look TBH.

What claims? You confusing me for one of the dozen people you are ranting your weird love of an inferior product to? Why do you think anyone cares enough about your opinion that we need to read it 10 times in a row?

The claims of the dipshit you are white knighting for.

No one is forcing you to read my opinion, just like no one is forcing you to watch WMMA.

You think it's an inferior product, and that's fine, just don't watch it. Boom, problem solved!

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

I don't get why 135 and 145 are so shit.

That's not particularly big for women.

I don't think they can cut weight as much as men as well.

I don’t, and nobody on earth that doesn’t like women “fighting” is going to have their minds changed because some redditor repeats herself over and over again.

 

[Shaddows]

In days of old we had the likes of Cyborg, Ronda, Amanda Nunez, Joanna Jerdreszyck. Today we have Raqel Pennington as champ..

Like every sport out there; when you lose your biggest stars, the quality drops a little... but it's only until the next (big) thing will happen...and while it may take time to happen, most of the time, just like now, you only appreciate them after they are gone (not saying you didn't appreciate them, just many "fans" only complain, until they notice they miss those great fights...

 

[Ares Black]

No, but they might have their minds change by actually watching them fight instead of crying about it on karate forum.

And fucking LOL at 'redditor'

That is huge for athletic women.

 

[bongwater]

it was never any good!

The Fight of the Year 2020 was WMMA.

Imagine thinking that being a professional cage fighter is an easy job.

It is if you're in a small pool of talent. It's easier to be a female MMA fighter in the top10 of the UFC than it is to be in the top10 of the UFC lightweight men division for instance.

I get that you think that, but you obviously have never seriously trained MMA, or any martial art.

Is it easier to get into the UFC for a woman than it is for a man? Yes, absolutely.

Is it easy? No.

Would someone who doesn't love fighting choose it as a career? Also no.

Thinking that a woman would get into professional cage fighting for the money and fame is completely ridiculous.

 

[xhaydenx]

yes.


WMMA died the day Joanna retired. Joanna with her strong back carried that game, unfortunately we'll probably not see a Wmma fighter as spectacular for a long long time


It's a HUGE blackspot on WMMA. I like seeing fighters who remained in the game for a long long time win the title in the twilight of their career, But pennington (and glover) just feel like a lack of real competition.

fortunately, Pena will correct Pennington having a belt soon. the school girls on sherdog may not like pena because "her personality" or because "she talks too much" however, She's one of the only fighters in that division who will walk through the fire and fight.

Pena's shit too though. Her best win came when she suckered Nunes into throwing bombs for 3 rounds and gassing so she could finish her lol, or Sarah Mcmann . . .

She's a grappler who got choked out cold by kickboxer who she had mounted hahaha.
