Quote: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?
OK I see your point. And the more I think about it the more I would love to see women fight men and vice versa. But the reason for me thinking men would dominate every class is simply based on a mans biology, as it was mentioned by the doctor in the previous article posted but not just that.
I don't have stats that show men are better at women when it comes to fighting, but is it not a fact that with men and women of near enough equal body build the man will still have the advantage of larger lung capacity, more powerful heart, less access fat around the chest and thighs. THat's not bringing into the equation of muscle mass and bone density.
All of these things add up. It doesn't mean a woman would never win a match against a man. As I said, the more I think about it the more I do want to see it and I do think it would be interesting to see the stats on men vs women, but I think it would be more a case of waiting to see to what degree men dominate the competition rather than seeing if men do dominate the competition.
I've just been watching these Ronda Rousey fights, she's both good looking and scary looking at the same time.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
