WMMA in the UFC, how much is ideal? *Poll*

[SensoriaUtopia]

So since Dana famously ate crow and brought Ronda into the ufc we have had women's MMA in the UFC. Are you happy about it? Are you pissy about it? Do you know give a fuck regardless?

Right now per each typical 12 or 13 fight card we are getting about 2.5 to 3 womens fight per average each card. A title fight is always interesting, man or woman. But the regular women's fight that are often on the card are you just as excited to watch them as the men's fights, or are these the fights where you go grab a beer from the cooler or fridge, or you get a snack or play with the dog or cat for a bit. Or are you very nuanced and it depends on the fight, some fights from the chicks you will watch, others meh. To make this easy, think of Invicta, who already serves as a feeder, to be the primary place for the girls if you don't want them in the ufc.

No
I wish it never would have came to UFC and filled cards

I watched Gina fight cause she was hot....WMMA died for me when Cyborg made her Retire.

Ronda was a clown IMO....a Bully with no class that I knew would take ball and run home from one punch(predicted this years before holly)

Cyborg is cool and I actually like her as a person.

But I Do not like seeing women getting damaged like MMA fighters often are....And a hot woman fighting is confusing and interupts the "I am watching fights" Vibe.

I don't watch WMMA, unless one competitor or both have a

Have them fight in invicta, but then have the Champs fight on the UFC cards.

The level of talent and depth of pool still isn't enough IMO. The women's title fights still interested me for the most part, Holm vs Rousey and Nunes vs Rousey are still some of the most replayed fights in my house. I even like some contender fights but just not enough that I'd pick that over a good men's undercard fight.

 

[kaladin stormblessed]

i love wmma in the ufc

 

[tang]

I voted for option 2 cuz that’s how I watch anyways, only tune in to bigger names which are only like 5 or 6 woman.

It was a stupid call from the first place. U never see NBA having double-headers with the WNBA.

 

[MMAHAWK]

Voted that I enjoy them, but like the idea of Invicta being where non contenders work their way up.

Definitely this. The WMMA talent pool is just too thin in the UFC, but then again, so are other men's divisions. Outside of LW, the majority of the divisions are thin once you get past the top 3-5. Most cards in the past 1-2 years have 8-12 fighters on them that no one has ever heard of.

You completely said word for word how I feel about this. Now I did not vote for no women at all in the ufc, I am fine with the Champs of course and even the top 5 girls in each weightclass. On one hand I feel like I will be viewed as an asshole, but I just think the level of many of the women's fights are so low or some of them maybe not but they are so boring often to me. Like in a few days we get
Katlyn Chookagian vs Mara Romero Borella, nothing about that is interesting to me.
Nor is
Justine Kish vs Ji Yeon Kim
Or
Randa Markos vs Juliana Lima

I respect them 100%. I just don't get seised to see this kind of fight. Now the Champs and those high ranking contenders, top 5, that is enjoyable.

Honest I respectfully disagree. None of the men's weightclasses are thin like the women's, I think even heavyweight has more depth. Ketlin Viera is like the no.6 ranked bw, solid fighter, but if that is your no.6 ranked bw, that is a weak weightclass. The UFC goes at least 20 deep at everyweightclass from 125 up to 185 in very skilled and high level fighters. LHW is probably about 11 or 12, heavyweight ditto.


Some of the fighters may not be popular names, but I am talking about skill level. Rustan Khabilov is not much of a name, you put him in a main event with Pettis and people(casuals and hardcore casuals) are gonna say Pettis is fighting who? But on skill level Rustam is incredible, well rounded and just a tremendous fighter. He is not even top 15 right now I think, he is probably ranked right outside the top 15, that is how deep some of the ufc weightclasses are.

I think wmma has been completely mismanaged by the UFC to the point of obscurity.

 

[SensoriaUtopia]

Yeah WME has done remarkably awful in all facets

I think we are seeing too much because the talent isn't there in certain divisions
I would prefer 1, possible 2 fights max per card

 

[SongExotic2]

Agreed.

I'd prefer if woman fights stayed on free tv if they are going to appear on UFC cards. The exception being title fights. Which I think should be allowed on paperviews but not main events. I'm tired of the UFC throwing a title on a card alongside a shitty undercard and calling it good. They need to make some good fights to sell a card

I think this is actually a great idea

It's not limited to just the women either. Last weekend's card had 2 title fights, then a bunch of shit they could care less about because "hey we put two title fights on the card"

Ya I'm all for guys making a name on the prelims, moving to a fox card or free card before they get an opportunity at ppv

The waterdowned talent pool is going to happen when they insist on have 1000 fucking cards a year

 

[Dat Pre-HollyHolm Ronda $]

Yeah they kinda fucked it all up didnt they.

 

[ender852]

I enjoy female fights, I don't like a whole card full of them though. 1-2 a card is ideal. I notice when there aren't any.

 

[sparkuri]

I'm glad WMMA has it's place; it's what they want to do.
Many times, especially in the past, they out-entertained the guys.
That said, with the oversaturation in present mma, I prefer only premier bouts.
Women are becoming like the men now, lesss chance-taking, and fighting not to lose.
So I won't complain about watching them, unless they are B+ class & below and too frequent.
Certainly they should never headline an event, unless either of them can beat any pro male.
I like them in either showcase format for big names, or undercards for the rest.

 

[ShakaSway]

I like watching ky favorites, McMann, JediChick and Paige started being a favorite.

But WFlyweight championship fight was a joke, and somehow sums up how i see most the fights to be 100% honest.

See it getting pretty talented and more enjoyable in the coming years.

 

[Hwoarang]

Where's the vote option for "zero'? To scrap it entirely from the UFC and get back to higher quality fights?

SSSSSSSSSHHHH!!!!!!!! Mackenzie Dern just signed to the UFC, DON'T ruin this for me

Love it.

OK I revert my entire post

but if she gets all beat up and sad then I re-instate my entire post

You know she’ll keep posting on instagram. Probably more cleavage because she can post the “I’m so upset they scrapped women from the UFC before my big debut *pout* *Portuguese pout* #jiujitsu #ufc #poutuguese? #mma #women” sympathy post.
