I'm glad women are getting some of the spotlight in the UFC. They are some of the most talented and entertaining fights. We can thank Ronda for this, but the women who are following are just as great. In reality, we can also thank Scott Coker and Strikeforce and Invicta also. They really pioneered the way for the UFC to make these changes.
Yeah, five years ago nobody wanted to watch women fight unless they looked stunning (Gina Garano). Now they are main eventing the new-years-eve card. Amazing turn around.
But still the women's divisions are very shallow. Top5 can bring it in both bantamweight and strawweight. After that the level drops quite drastically and outside of top10 it is just embarrassing.
Surely it will only get better from here. Divisions need time to fill up and as of combat sports, MMA is the most lucrative option for proffessional lady fighters. So all the best will choose MMA, not boxing or kickboxing.
Couldn't agree more!! Thanks for writing this. Looking forward to the Cyborg vs Holm fight!!! Gonna be another epic night with these female top of top athletes!
Holm will be coming to this bout with the determination to win owing to the singular reason that she lost the inaugural featherweight championship fight with Germaine de Randamie on February 11 via a controversial unanimous decision with de Randamie taking shots at Holm after the bell had rung. She stands a chance to claim the title that many claims should be hers. Her morale is going to be high and Cyborg isn’t going to take it easy with her too tho. I hope Holm wins, she deserves it. It is going to be a great way to wrap up the year for her and her fans as well as a post-Christmas gift too. Happy Holidays #OWB
I love both fighters, but yeah it would be cool to see the belt change to Holly Holm, and maybe after beating two undefeated super star fighters such as Ronda and Cris should could be called one of the GOAT.
WOW Angie, here I am gonna go panameño style: la botaste, muy inspirador y tienes toda la razón cuando hablas de la forma en que otros deportes promueven la división de mujeres.
Con respecto a la pelea del 30, estoy apunto de abrir una cuenta en alguna plataforma blockchain de apuestas y poner TODO mi crypto a favor de Holm! =)
man that's gonna be a serious fight, and not an easy one for sure for Holly. I hope she wins, but i think Cyborg may destroy her. Dunno, hard to say. Lately my predictions are all wrong LOL
Exactly why I am thinking that Holly will win... I want to say Cris so that means that Holly would win based on my wrong predictions this year as well. LOL
I think this is completely the opposite. There is more scrambles and more action in women fights. Less KOs maybe especially in straw weight, but still action packed.

No doubt, 100% agree!

I expect that this will be more common in future years

Who do you think will win? Will Holly shock the world once again or will Cyborg run through her?

The woman's fights are usually boring compared to the men's There are some great fights but most don't have much action..
I think this is completely the opposite. There is more scrambles and more action in women fights. Less KOs maybe especially in straw weight, but still action packed.
