Is the UFC sexist?

[LilMountain]

It seems quite clear that The UFC brass don't feel like Ronda can cope with the media pressure she is under, yet if a male colleague felt the same they would be pulled from a card?

It is downright offensive that they feel a woman is too emotional to cope with the stress that a man can.

Welcome to Donald Trump's America

Connor was just pulled to keep his ego in check and remind him who's boss. If he had come at it from another angle I'm sure they would have accommodated him too

Never happen...Anyone in power knows that women sports in general carry very little interest with the general public..Nobody cares about women's sports.

[Trump]Wrong![/Trump] 2 women jobbers getting paid peanuts just headlined Fox and drew 20% more viewers than average.

Has any other fighter been allowed to skip media obligations without consequences? TS has a point.

If only Ronda is given the special treatment, then it's about her, not her gender. That she's a woman is incidental, and if TS is seeing gender bias where it's actually just bias for/against an individual, then TS is the sexist one.

Headlining a free on fox card isn't a huge deal. Sage was also on the card...not to mention Faber's last fight ever. Overall, the women lack both in skill and interest...Very few women carry any interest with most people...cyborg, ronda...that's about it.

It's very primitive for sure.
