I think the arrival of female fighters to the MMA mainstream is long overdue. I think two girls sling'n leather at each other is pretty damn hot! I wonder if it's just a lack of volunteers or a lack of talent?
Well that's one I must have missed! Damn, I could use a good laugh. Out of respect for the females that post on this site and especially for the ones who are actually involved with martial arts " you know who you are" I'm gonna say that it is a lack of volunteers. You gotta admit, it takes a pretty unique girl to want to get in a ring and bleed. I have seen 2 pro MMA female fights and one was great and the other seemed a little like that highschool football team you were talkin bout.It's been done, the first Hook n'Shoot female MMA was done back in 2002, and Superbrawl did women as well, but I've never seen it and don't know if it's still being done.
If it's anything like Women's "pro" football on talent, I don't want to. Ever seen that?, they are about as good as a bad boy's highschool team.
by any chance was that Tara Larosa you've seen fight?Well that's one I must have missed! Damn, I could use a good laugh.

No, I think it was Page Stertevant vs. Lilia Harvey but I'm gonna look Tara up.by any chance was that Tara Larosa you've seen fight?
Cool. At this point since u can't find many female fighters, it's probably worth checkin out, and if it sucks....At least i'll be laughin!Netflix has a couple of MMA DVDs that have female fighters. I've never rented any of them though, so I'm not sure how good they are.
Two words to make it go mainstream: baby oil!IMO it would be very difficult for women's MMA to thrive in the mainstream, so there will never be enough competition for the women to improve.
