I'm Where I'm At
Rhonda didn't have star power. She wasn't even that big in Strikeforce. Her gold at the Olympics barely made a splash because less people follow womens Judo then follow WMMA. They slapped us in the face with her until we paid attention. Brock was already a star.
Is Honda a good role model that you'd want your daughter imitating? She is a huge *****.
I don't think that WMMA is needed for MMA to grow. Bringing in other men with their patriotic fans (like Connor did) would do the job and be more entertaining.
I agree that Aldo not speaking English is holding him back (I don't think it should, but I agree that it is). Weidman has a big fight coming up against Vitor. Go to any major MMA site and you will see more articles about Rousey (who doesn't have a fight lined up) than you will about Weidman. If they invested into Weidman like they did with Rousey, he'd be a much bigger star. Weidman has been injured, but at least he has a fight coming up.
How about Dillishaw? He's another guy who just defeated one of the P4P best and has the rematch coming up next month.

At the end of the day, I'd rather see men fight and women be women. There's not much point in arguing because that's how I feel and if you guys enjoy womans fighting, that's cool too. I won't like WMMA anytime soon and I won't pay for it. I'd rather see the UFC expand into other countries (which they are slowly doing). The UFC just got TV deals in the Czech Republic and Slovakia which is a bigger deal than anything going on in WMMA.
that's my point. she is hot right now. whether we agree she should be or not, she is. she didn't have the star power right away but dana saw the potential and he was right. and that's all i really care about right now. again, Weidman's rematch with silva got him plenty of exposure. it has died down due to his inactivity. but just watch, if he smashes vitor he will be right up there again in the buzz zone

and yea, i agree about aldo, it shouldn't be that way but i'm just making a statement. unfortunately it's true to a degree. and he is an absolute beast. but his ppv's do poor. but because of conor, i guarantee you that fight is gonna do good

mma has been in a slump the last couple of years in terms of ppv buys. like it or not, mma needs any kind of push and if this is where it gets it from, i'm all for it

i admit, i still get a little squeamish seeing a girl get smashed in the nose or an ear falling off, i get that, but at the end of the day, hey, everything is just a plus for mma

that's what it comes down to for me. i'm not trying to convince you or rock. just wanted to see your perspective on why you see it the way you do and maybe give a little perspective at the same time. this was a good discussion

it's too bad, i agree with you about other champs not getting promoted enough. there are excellent champs and highly skilled but they have to pull a lot of the weight by and for themselves too. guys like cain, mighty mouse, aldo, dillishaw,........they don't seem to have the "it" factor. only the special ones do

Hmmm, what was your high school PE curriculum? Didnt girls do them with you? Maybe you should've invented your own sport instead of piggybacking onto old sports. Why are men in cheerleading? Dance? Gymnastic? Performance art? Should they be women only?

That was different. Sports was secondary to physical fitness, and yes.
:D

Nobody's gonna dig a hole with a spoon as long as a shovel is in sight. A spoon, while moves less, moves something much more important, food, nourishment, what keeps me going everyday. I don't know about you, but I don't want no spoons I been digging with in my mouth, nor use the shovel at my table.

that spoon is expanding and getting bigger.

and in the end, if it will help the shovel to make bigger holes and bring in more spoons, why not cheer on and support the growing spoon??

chew on that!

I accomplished a lot, I typed all that from a winery lol. Seriously you guys baffle me.

I understand bottles not wanting to be force feed WMMA....I don't understand anyone saying a girl can't do something for no reason other then she's a girl. You're literally oppressing people.

Not being comfortable with something isn't a good enough reason for me to want to wipe it off the face of the earth. That type of thinking and teaching has lead to mass oppression.

My mind is blown that someone can sit there with a straight face and say women can't compete with another women in a sport because they're a woman. Or label something a man's sport: this isn't a feminist speech. I just don't understand why you wouldn't support any of your children in their passions and hobbies. I would do anything to help my step daughter be successful in her passions.

Where does this thinking of you can't do this because you're a girl come from? Religion? It's just always been this way? no real reason?

I still don't know what rock means by "do woman stuff" or "be a lady". What does it mean? aside from things they aren't physically strong enough to do (no different then a man of small stature or a young boy may not be able to do), they're able to do EVERYTHING you can do. I can even understand saying I'm not attractive to these type of women but they should invent their own sport or stop being in "men sports" despite being in a women's division ? Hahahaha get out of here with your hate mongering
