Yuka Tsuji vs. Erica Montoya - Part One

[hydrolito]

I heard Erica was a BJJ world Champion in her weight class at age 16.

There's a rooster crowing in the background.

I'm completely baffled as to why Erica left MMA/BJJ. She had the look, definately had the talent. True she lost to Tsuji and Megumi, but they're both legends and she held her own with the both of them.

Erica Montoya is an amazing fighter and she has great technique I love her!!!

why doesnt the ufc do this? there are some skilled female fighters out there u know.

[SocialDissimulation]

I think it's because of the "bad fight" value. People would get mighty upset if it started to be slow and suck and the entire crowd would probably turn into misogynistic morons. It would be scary.

More like the UFC think's it's too early. They knew how hard it was just to get people to accept males in MMA(And it's still not accepted by everyone, even illegal in states like NY) So making a Females division would be even harder for them to defend. Strikeforce has been doing a great job at selling Women MMA in the US though, UFC missed out big time.

[SocialDissimulation]

Nah, the UFC is doing just fine. I can say confidently that they're afraid of the female MMA scene bombing with their audience. Although, sometimes I wonder if the majority of those men wouldn't mind scantily clad women duking it out.

As a PS, female MMA is no where near male MMA yet, I would expect them to develop a little more depth before it happens; pretty sure UFC is talking to female fighters though.

@3939allen You'd have to ask Dana White, it's his decision to not have a women's division.

[3939allen]

@vhamp lol im sure everyone would know what dana would say. "women cant fight"

[GrapplersPlanet]

@3939allen very true... but it wont sell as much...therfore they dont see a real point in doing so... marketing dollar isnt there to justify it...
