I think Tate will win against Frausto this Friday. Frausto's style is a wild style which leaves her open. Timing the takedowns or counter-punches would make it perfect for Tate to take down Frausto.
No, having skills is the most important thing. This isn't a beauty contest. This is MMA and the women should be judged on how good they can fight, not on their ability to look pretty in front of the camera or else they won't be taken seriously.
The majority of MMA fans will whole heartedly disagree with you.
That may be what's "fair" but life isn't fair. You think Gina Carano is so popular just because she has some decent MMA skills? You must be incredibly naive if so.
Most people don't even care about women's athletics. But at least if they're attractive it makes their fights more bearable.
Is that sexist? Yes absolutely. But it's also reality. Sorry ladies.
It's only sexist if you believe that the last word solely lies within the male demographics. You get a pair of tough girls together and suddenly females grow interested. Remember that MMA shows approval by female demographics, moreso than boxing.
You are (sadly) right in terms of marketing, but that's it.
Plenty of people care about female athletics, you just either can't or don't want to see them (just look at the U.S or Russian Olympic teams), but they are there.
Ah yeah, tough girls. Sorry bud but females who are into sports is a rarity. Probably half of all girls who even claim to like sports just do so to please their male counterparts.
If your logic had any merit then the WNBA would be a lot bigger. Those are some talented basketball players, for women. They could whoop my ass in a pick up game. But they just don't do it as good as the men, not close. Thus, it has a very small fan base.
Again, nobody disagrees with you that sexappeal makes women's athletics watchable. What you don't understand is that there are plenty of people around the world that care for women's athletics a big deal. People train years and years to get into the olympics, remember? Europe has appreciation for female sport, also.
Females are not a rarity, it's just people like you who are the norm. No big deal. To each their own, but you are overt generalizing.
Fantasy land? Competition is competition. You clearly haven't heard of tae kwon or judo in the olympics, the world jiu jitsu championships, or Abu Dabhi Combat Club, etc. Chicks also compete in those.
Female MMA is just an evolution of those things, you are just anal about it because they're chicks, that's all. Not unlike how John Mc Cain was about MMA in general
You see what you know and what you deal with every day, and assume it will always be that way.
That stuff is popular? I can honestly say i've never watched a moment of women competing in any Olympic martial arts.
I'd bet everything in the bank that it's far from one of the more popular events. Show me those huge TV ratings if that's untrue.
But, don't get me wrong I don't have anything against these ladies doing what they enjoy, especially the pretty ones. But i'm just being realistic and you can't seem to be.
Judo and tae kwon do are only part of the most watched broadcast event in the world. No biggie. Again, who watches amateur wrestling, boxing, fencing, decathlon? Answer is: a shitload of people every four years. It's the olympics, man.
Why did Couture fight back in the middle ages when nobody gave two shits about MMA save for some crazy brazillians?
Again, you are right today, but one never knows in the future.
A fight's a fight, and that calls people's attention, unlike other sports.
Lol, you totally made that up. Yes, the Olympics are watched, not specifically for woman's martial arts. Also, MMA isn't an olympic sport. I request to see the ratings or proof of women's martial arts having a big audience.
If that's not enough, you're comparing a world competition with an individual sport. You're reaching!
You really aren't paying attention...maybe you lack criteria to understand some basic points.
Also, your mind seems fixated on ratings, so: Carano vs Cyborg did set a record for Showtime, but you'll dismiss that because Carano was hot, I see.
Apparently you do measure popularity only by ratings, and since female MMA today cannot compete with male MMA (who knows if ever),in your mind it'll never be as popular.
I argue for practitioner validity, and you for "rating popularity." Big difference.
It may be a big difference, but if you're arguing my initial point, that female MMA will never be popular with the majority, then you've yet to show me otherwise. I haven't argued anything else. I don't discredit women's athletics in any sport really.
The sports consumer demographic is largely male. Most males view females as inferior athletes to females, not to mention sex objects to leer at. Hence the reason it will never be largely popular.
Suddenly you say largely popular with *the majority*?
The "majority" doesn't have to watch it for it to be "popular," it only needs to be a big enough audience so that it fuels competition. The better the athletes the most audience it garners.
You are being selective when comparing it to male MMA when it need not be. In fact, it may never be, but that's just fine, it would be popular enough, and athletes would get their due respect.
Once in a while we'd get a real hot chick and we'd go nuts.
well you know what, I hope they do get the exposure and the respect they're seeking.
But the only thing that really sells well in woman's athletics is sex appeal. Lets not kid ourselves about that.
That doesn't necessarily mean that there's no fan base out there for it, that will take it seriously. Just not the majority. And majority rules in the entertainment business.
I agree with you; the majority does rule in the entertainment bussiness, no doubt about that, but to say that the *only* thing that really sells well in women's athletics is sex appeal, is beyond short shighted. Can you *really* se the future?
We live in a male dominated world, that's a fact, but that is slowly (really slowly) being modified, just look at Ana Gabriela Guevara, Serena Williams, or Kathy Freeman--all of them butt ugly chicks.
