WMMA is literally WNBA

Lol at a lesbian talk show. We'll see what sort of numbers she draws if she ever comes back.
LOL at a lesbian talk shows being one of the most watched talk shows in all of America, better than being on inside MMA with Bas Rutten LOL.
 
WMMA popularity is going to decline once the manly ugly chicks start dominating.
 
That literally makes no sense. I've never seen hoops & or balls in the octagon.


















































Other than Dennis Hallman's of course...
 
Nobody cares about WMMA they watch because they are lonely basement virgins and get to see average looking women they can defend on the Internet with flashes of ass at weigh ins . If people truly cared their would be more threads about their skills than their physical assets. The most popular gif from this las event was Holms ass during weigh ins , case closed

Ratings are ratings. No one is watching women's basketball for any reason.
 
One of my favorite things about heterosexual males is their total lack of interest in understanding and appreciating women. From your rambling OP I can only assume you feel threatened by WMMA's success and feel inferior to these incredibly badass athletes who are able to step in a cage for our entertainment. Otherwise you'd just not watch. It gives me endless comfort to know that narrow minded, hateful people aren't part of the larger WMMA fan community that is accepting and lovely. Carry on being miserable.
 
WNBA players, on average, are more talented relative to their sport.
 
Well TS, you let us know that this thread was going to be incredibly stupid with the title, so thanks for not false advertising, I guess.

It's good to look for the positive.
 
Go look up the definition of "literally" and thank me later.
 
Lololoololololol man that's stupid! "Entitled to emotions" is brilliant!!!
So she's not then? She's supposed to be a robot because that's what some bum from sherdog expects of her? DEAL WITH IT!!
 
Alright. Here we go. Differences between women's divisions in MMA and WNBA, as well as other thoughts.

• One is basketball, one is MMA. I don't like basketball that much. If I absolutely loved it, I probably still wouldn't watch the WNBA, because it doesn't have the exposure necessary to make it feel of consequence, and it's inconvenient to follow two different leagues of the same sport. Not to mention, WNBA operates by different rules.

• MMA fans are used to fighters being separated for fairness already. It's ingrained in the sport. What MMA fans care about is relative ability. They don't care that Cain could squash Mighty Mouse anymore than they should care that Cain would squash Ronda. There's no distinction between separating by weight and separating by gender. If you can appreciate multiple weight divisions, you can appreciate divisions filtered by sex. They're both done for roughly the same purpose. If you can't, then that's on you and you probably have some compartmentalization you need to clear out in your mind.

• Never have I ever watched a woman's fight and said "Wow, she did great... but Dominick Cruz would totally clean her clock." That never enters my mind, because I'm not an idiot. It's as dumb and arbitrary a statement as saying Brock Lesnar would destroy Jose Aldo. Who cares? The only reason you would even bring that up is some weird insecurity.

• Women are generally speaking more flexible than men, and are disproportionately stronger in their lower body compared to what you see in men's upper/lower body strength. This lends itself to a more active transition game on the ground. Women typically have to escape submissions more by technique than powering through with their upper body, as many men do. Not saying one is necessarily better than another, but it is unique and intriguing for that reason. I also suspect that because of women's lower body being so strong relative to their upper body, that you will see more head kick finishes as fighters evolve over time, once the technical skill catches up.

• If you accept the distinction of male/female divisions as the same as weight divisions (which you should), then the only fair criticism that can be made is skill level. Putting athleticism aside -- as athleticism always varies from divisions to division, and fighter to fighter -- it's the skill difference between the male/female divisions that people complain about the most. Well, a couple of things here:

1) Everyone knows that Heavyweight has been a lacking in technical ability for quite a long time. Some fighters have it together, but it's a far way away from being a work of art up there.​

2) Yes, generally speaking from a technical perspective the women's divisions are noticeably behind the men's divisions. Not a shocker. There are less women choosing to be fighters and less financial outlets to compete as a female. The only way to change that is to provide better financial incentive and encourage women to train MMA. Having the women's divisions in the UFC does just that. It's only going to get better over time. Just wait until the Rousey generation of little girls -- who are already training -- arrive. The divisions are going to get better, and it's going to be fun to watch it evolve.
• If there were no women's divisions in the UFC, those roster spots would go to unranked fighters you've never heard of fighting in fights of no consequence (you know, those fight pass prelim fighters that you're already not watching unless it's on a card for a fight you DO want to watch). Finding out who the best women in the WORLD are in their respective divisions is infinitely more interesting than watching better skilled men's fights that are of no consequence. I guarantee you there are better fighters that are unranked and fighting fights of no consequence at welterweight than most the fighters ranked in the top 15 at heavyweight, but you're probably not watching those fights for the same reason -- they don't have any weight to them. You'd rather watch the ranked HW fights because you believe in the concept of weight divisions and parity, and you care about relativity. So, why do you accept relativity for weight divisions but ignore relativity when it comes to gender divisions?

Wow. Amazing post. Spot. Fucking. On.

Did you read it? Haha I skimmed.
 
It's alost as if women are slower , less athletic, less explosive version of men.
 
99% of the keyboard warriors on here wouldn't last 2 minutes in a cage with most of these woman. I have witnessed and rolled against women who would break your shit really quick. There are highly skilled fighters of both sexes. Time to join the 21st century people. Woman athletes are not inferior to men. They train, are as skilled and fight every bit as hard as the men.
 
Well in that case we can get rid of gender segregation in sport. Smash the patriarchy.
Yep, we'll in that case, let's do away with weight classes as well. Mighty Mouse vs The Predator....... Book it! Your logic makes about as much sense as that.
