Bad?
Or
Good?

Why?

Does this change your mind at all or inspire you?

Put together by yours truly... Any feedback would also be nice on it. It's my first highlight.

Good... don't see why they shouldn't.

I don't think the issue is opportunity... it's more lack of enough legitimate talent to fill the division.

Nice avatar.

I dont have an issue with it. Some of the women look better in there then the men do. its no worse then womens boxing so if they want to go in there and have at 'er, then I say all the power to them.

Their cards are too thin right now. One injury and the whole thing falls apart. Hopefully the women catch on as must-see fights to help make the show better.

It's like women's hockey, I support their right to play, but it's painful to watch. Not a fan. I would never pay to watch women fight. Sideshow at best.

I personally think women should be able to fight against the men, if they want.
Weight class restrictions in effect, of course.
I guess I'm just a woman's rights type of guy, so I would have no problem watching them take (legal) beatings from a man, from time to time - if they so choose to compete against men professionally.

Before I get blasted too hard... female police officers are trained to subdue male criminals who are often bigger and stronger, so why can't women fight against men in the UFC? Doesn't make sense to me.

If I'm an idiot, so be it.

i guess you aren't watching the right leagues to make such an ignorant comment on either sports.

women's fighting might be new to the UFC, but it's been going on around the world in MMA for many years, and there is a very high level of competition overseas.

Women's hockey is also entertaining to watch. My father coached university women's hockey here in Canada for over a decade, and it's tiresome to hear sexist, bullshit comments like yours from men who can't get their heads out of their own asses.
