There is actually barely a disagreement, I've said let women fight men if they want to.  I've said men don't always have the advantage, I used the extreme example that a male corpse wouldn't be able to outrun the fastest woman on earth.  The only thing I'm making a point of is that if you don't segregate genders in sports men will dominate every weight class and every competition in sports that involve fighting strength and speed.

I'm saying a 250 pound athletic female is so So rare, most women of that weight are just fat.   Yet there's a few Brock Lesnars out there who are that weight, can do back flips, accidently land on their head, and still get up and carry on fighting.  In the short term I'd probably find it interesting to see a woman fight a man in these kinds of sports, but in the long term I just don't think women would stand enough of a chance for it to be entertaining.

I don't know why you think men would dominate in every weight class and every competition.  It's not like you have stats to that effect.....we won't even allow them to be generated..lol.

Then an athletic 250lb female would be rare, and as such women would have little to fear from 250 lb men beating them senseless.  They'd have to worry about the 135lb man beating them senseless, as he would have to worry about the 135lb women beating -him- senseless.  Nothing says we -have- to segregate....and I'm pretty sure that if you find yourself making this statement about -anything- you've gone horribly wrong...somewhere. Open it up, see where the chips fall.....doesn't stop any other leagues (like, say, gender specific, or talent specific ones) from operating. If a girl gets wins at 135, she belongs there. If she comes in and loses, she doesn't belong there..same as anyone.....I'm sure there's somewhere else to go. There are only, what, a few hundred thousand MMA leagues at any given moment, right?

In an open league, people compete wherever they belong. So -what- if men "dominated" the rankings...they would dominate because they competed and won. If we find that some poor girl can;t compete at 135 because she just wasn't born with the meaner right hook of the two she finds herself in exactly the same position as any other guy who wasn't born with the meaner right hook than the guy who just planted him in the grill - and I'm in that same boat myself..despite my swinging richard ( :looks down: wtf dick, you aren't doing the amazing work for me that you're doing for these other men.....shape up!).

I really don't see the problem, I don't see any need for segregation, I see nothing to worry about, and I see no lack of opportunity arising from it. Strength and speed are all this is based on? No intelligence, no endurance, no determination, no will, no skill, no random luck? Maybe we should just cancel this years fights and see who can bench more, and which has a faster 100m? It'll probably pan out the way the fights would have anyway.......
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
