UFC WMMA: The way to watch

[Ares Black]

Explain how it is not. Compromise doesn't have to appeal to everyone's sensibility. It is hypothetical and will never occur, but it is indeed a compromise for both parties of WMMA viewers. WMMA will remain of the regular cards and some viewers will continue to complain. If they could opt out, they would have far less to complain about.

Complain all they want. Segregation is not cool, and we do not negotiate with segregationists.

You may also notice that I deleted the comment you are quoting.

That's because it wasn't accurate and I didn't feel like starting another fight. Yeah, it's a compromise, but a shitty one that makes the losers happy and cheats the real MMA fans.

She probably just wants your approval dude.

Does she even actually like MMA? Or does she just tolerate it for your sake?

She would have an interesting take on the "just wants my approval" part, lol. I think it's more that she's a logical person who makes her own decisions, and knows when something by and large sucks. It's really that simple.

I notice that you didn't answer my question.

Is she an MMA fan?

 

[mahavishnunj]

Good to great WMMA fights happen all the time.

Nope. They don't.

WMMA haters are too busy smoking or shitting.

This is why we have @KazDibiase for the gifs on the extremely rare occasion anything interesting happens in a wmma fight.

She's not a diehard "knows everything about PRIDE and Paul Buentello" fan. Would that make her correct opinion of wmma more valid? I'll work with your criteria here, lol.

Yes, they do.

And lol at thinking that watching gifs really tells the story of a fight.

Not a difficult question dude.

It was answered in the first post. I can only hold your hand so much here....

 

[mahavishnunj]

No, it really wasn't.

I can tell from all your deflection that she isn't.

Have fun cheating yourself out of some great fights because you're insecure and sexist!

How will I ever recover from such a loss....

 

[ChimRichalds]

What we have now is fine, there's some unenjoyable men's fights too. If you're not interested, skip it.

This is why I generally start watching a card about an hour late (and why I'm never really in pbp threads), if there's a fight that truly doesn't interest me, I fast forward. Problem solved.

 

[McGeezle]

Way it's done now is fine. If they're boring fighters or nobodies, you know it's a good time to take a bathroom break.

Why do so many idiots say this as if there isn't 20 minutes between fights already? Having a women's fight creates a gap of like 40 minutes and destroys the momentum of good cards because the women are always right in the middle of the good fights for some reason

Yeah, Barber vs Ribas totally destroyed the momentum of the card, especially after that amazing No Contest right before it!

Brilliant use of the exception fallacy

We already have that. It's called Invicta, and I watch it. It's generally pretty good, sometimes it's great. If the UFC didn't poach all of their best fighters it would be even better.

I also watch LFA, CFFC, PFL, Cage Warriors, ARES FC, ONE FC and some other regional promotions. Sometimes I even watch Bellator. I love MMA in all its many and varied forms. The differences between divisions is one of the things that makes it the greatest sport in the world IMO.

The UFC is the place for the best fighters in every division. If there was a card featuring only fighters for one or two divisions I would watch it, but I prefer the variety of having all the divisions available in one place. If anything the UFC should beef up their WFW division and add AW.

I have explained this earlier in this very thread. If you want to daydream about a segregated UFC, go right ahead. It's never going to happen, so I suggest you either learn to appreciate female fighters, or at the very least stop whining.

Good day sir.

Invicta is not UFC

 

[mjfan23]

Bring back Rachel Ostovich l, pvz and joju and I will start watching

 

[Ace70 V2]

I'm fine with the format as is. Put a few on each card.

Well, you seem to have confused your opinion for a fact.

I simply used the most recent example that proves that opinion to be wrong.

Everyone around the water cooler on Monday:
“Oh man did you see that Shevchenko-Grasso fight?! What about the Barber-Ribas fight? “

That one guy:
“Hell no! I was taking another shit”.

The real answer: who is Barber-Ribas? can he beat Jake Paul?

 

[Bearknuckle]

No, I think he's sexist because he's sexist.

Not liking WMMA is fine. People are entitled to their opinion. How much WMMA is actually worth watching is certainly up for debate.

Thinking that ALL WMMA sucks is ridiculous though. There have been some amazing fights, brutal knockouts, and slick submissions. If you like MMA but also think that all WMMA sucks, then the only logical explanation is sexism.

No, wmma level is overall much lower than mens mma. They usually suck, thats fact. The fact that they get main card status over ranked mens fighters is some pandering crap.
