WMMA is literally WNBA

[jeremyemilio]

Except that in WMMA they punch each other in the face and in WNBA they try to put a ball through a hoop... so no... not "literally."

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.

Actually... weight classes are a bit odd. A man is a man is a man and if I'm too small to cut it (or too fat, or too slow, or too one-legged) then tough cookies. Most sports acknowledge that.

Gender classes really do make sense, though.

TS is literally, an idiot.

Actually she's fought since drug testing has been implemented, if I didn't know any better I'd think you only tuned in for McGregor & Rousey fights. CASUAL SPOTTED!!!!! Rousey was on SNL & Ellen, McGregor has to beg to be on Conan.

He actually was on Conan, playing video games or some shit.

Lol at a lesbian talk show. We'll see what sort of numbers she draws if she ever comes back.

I'd say they'd be pretty good. Casuals and Roganlytes will watch to see if she comes back strong or remains the mental case she has been since losing. If she loses, then her star is dead. Love or hate her, Ronda was the only thing keeping WMMA alive. Holm has lost her intrigue because she's looked like butt crack in her last few fights and Tate....well at least she has a nice butt.

It literally isn't. And you literally don't understand what the word literally mean.

"Literally" should be a banned word on Sherdog.

Did the biggest star in basketball come from the WNBA? No.

A good big guy will beat a good small guy but in combat sport there are plenty examples of smaller men beating larger men. Women beatin men however, not so much.

And no, WMMA fighters would not beat 99% of guys who post on here.

People who misuse the word "literally" like this are literally the worst.

Let's go back in history and see how exaggerated this moment was...

WNBA is a slower , less athletic, less explosive version of the nba. Like WMMA , WNBA is basically subsidized by the nba as it's basically a loss to operate WNBA even with their paltry salaries. The only real difference is mma fans are forced to ingest WMMA as it gets placed on the cards so there is no way to truly vote won your wallet. Imagine if nba playoffs had a quarter of WNBA game mixed in during half time, there would be outrage.

Does WNBA have good fundamentals like WMMA ? Sure they are good at shooting and passing, just like in WMMA you can find good fundamental strikers and ground artists, but as WNBA has a lot of solid guards they lack any type of explosive, entertaining a level athlete like Lebron or Westbrook or curry. Similar to how WMMA has nothing comparable to a rumble Johnson or black beast, just a bunch of pitty pat volume strikers equivalent to a good WNBA guard with some flashy spin moves .

WMMA is also showing, like WNBA , how there is no depth and minimal skill differential from top to bottom. Everyone is .500 or slightly better and we will likely continue to see round robin of champions except in the lower weight class with zero depth.

Another similarity is the fans , WNBA fans are girls, dads with girls who like basketball, creeps who only follow the attractive players, and a small amount of hardcore fans who will watch literally any basketball. WMMA differs here a bit in that the quantity of creeps is much higher as the chances for pics and gifs of near nude athletes is higher, same concept as why beach volleyball gets high ratings in the olympics. After every event and weigh in you will see every time the highest rated gifs are shots and wardrobe issues, quite odd really with how easily you can access porn these days.

Love it when people who literally don't know what the word "literally " means use the word as their message thread subject title.

My point was, men fighting men in there own weight class is the way things are for obvious reasons. Women are every bit as skilled as there male counterparts. Of course you wouldn't put a woman in there to fight a man. It would be as unfair as the whole weight class thing I suggested. Genetics, hormones, muscle mass, body fat, etc.... are what make the women different than the men. Women even get different types of injuries than men do. It's unfair to compare the two in that aspect. They can however, compare to them in skill, knowledge, training, heart etc.....

As far as the 99% thing goes, I may have exaggerated a bit as I assume there are people on here have had some training or still train but I'm sure there are a fair share of them that have no training or skill at all who would be humbled by any highly trained women mma fighter. I for one have rolled with and sparred a few skilled women and the outcome was not always good for me. When you think "I got this" and the next thing you know you are tapping to a triangle/armbar or a triangle/omoplata it is very humbling indeed.

WNBA is barely ever on TV, barely ever mentioned in the real world, and barely ever advertised, the top player also makes about a 100 racks a year.
