@sayno2wmma that is not true. There are women in MMA that really can fight. It only seems like a lot of women can't fight because there are fewer competing than men in the sport,& many don't get TV exposure. But there are men out there who are terrible in the cage and don't even know how to land a punch.So don't generalize, there are only an elite few that the world may be aware of, but there are women that can fight. & not all fighters are prodigy!! Some take longer to get to upper level.
This just shows that women don't know how to fight I can look up girls fighting on here and see the same thing one will rush in take the other girl down. The only thing different is the girls in the cage are getting paid to fight.
When Carla charged forward, Felice should have immediately circled around to avoid being forced into a corner (instead of moving back) That kick wasn't enough to stop a wrestler. Felice's strength then seemed split between upper body and lower body defense, which weakened her damage output for both and unfocused landing of hits. Felice should have concentrated on more knees like Carla was doing wearing her down. Felice takes control but good effort on Carla's part getting back on top.
girls can fight, they just shouldnt lol.
