I think that they should have a women's division in the UFC. That would be hawt.

Dana White doesn't feel there is a market for Womens' MMA.

Watch the WNBA, and then watch the NBA.
That should answer all your questions.

I think it would be great if there were more women in combat sports, including the big MMA promotions, but I gather the talent pool is just far too small to sustain anything of the sort. As long as there are dozens or (for all I know) hundreds of male fighters for every female fighter, it’s obvious that the elite skill level among the men will be much higher.
That would be hawt.
You’re part of the problem, not the solution. Respect women fighters as fighters, and take your objectifying elsewhere.
this argument has been done a million times.
and i still maintain womens MMA and womens boxing will NEVER really take off (to the level of say womens tennis) simply because people are programmed to protect women. Im as womens rights etc as the next unshaven feminist, but i still dont like watching girls get punched in the face.

I don't mind it at all. I think some women would be able to outfight most guys. For example, I think Gina Caranno could beat any guy in her weight class, and even a weight class or two higher. If they can watch us get our faces turned into hamburger and enjoy it, why can't men have the same thing?

Dude, you're a fucking idiot. Carano isnt even the best woman at her weight.

And she could still fight circles around a lot of guys in her weight class. What does that say about women even better than her?

Funny I only see one MMA loss in her career and that was to Cyborg. And she only has one loss in her MT career. I think that makes her definitely one of the best in her weight class.
if she made her weight, yeah. and uh im pretty sure that makes cyborg better than considering she stomped her face in.
and her nice pretty record has no bearing on the fact that the top male fighters at her weight would fucking obliterate her. please. this has happened before in muay thai and it wasnt pretty.

I think there shouldn't be women's divisions in any professional sport, period. We don't have special sports leagues for different ethnic/national origins, colors, races or religions. Or shorter, weaker and slower men for that matter. If women can hang, they can hang. If they can't, they can't. Some of us got fast-twitch genes, some of us didn't. Some of us got Y chromosomes, some of us didn't. Tough cookies.
But I would not be okay with a Gina Carano vs. Mike Brown fight. That fight would be nothing close to fair.

this would basically kill womens sport. dont be daft. at the top level women cant compete with men simply because of the gap in level of athletic ability. men are designed for athletic pursuits to a much larger degree than women are, so while this would work in relatively unathletic sports (like lawn bowls i guess) in others it wouldnt. because women would never win, never get enough money to make it a realistic goal, and.. well its obvious from there.
women are for cooking cleaning and looking after your offspring.
let the men do the fighting.
ugh..will this feminism die off already?

Alex summed up my feelings pretty well in his first post.
I wouldn't object, discourage or in any way naysay the idea, but I doubt I'd watch it. It just feels wrong.
