UFC makes boxing look like a safe, low-impact sport by comparison.

What will future historians say about us, that for paid sport and TV entertainment, we arranged competitions in which women beat each other bloody?

We allow this, but call people like Michael Vick evil for fighting dogs.

Our society is twisted and absurd and we don’t even realize it.

Sorry, I’m just not into watching women fight each other.

There is a sickness in our society that women should do this...and it is celebrated. Romans didn’t have female gladiators.

Very impressive fighters, from the excerpts on Youtube. Both took and delivered significant hits. It’s pretty clear, from what was shown, how Mickey Rourke went from pretty boy to human gargoyle after a stint in pro boxing.

Best female MMA bout ever. Neither fight let up on the gas the whole 5 rounds.

God I saw that fight. It was the most brutal fight of the night and made the main event look like worst fight of the night. One thing I will say is that Joanna has the heart of 10 female Lions!

Originally, the UFC had no intention of employing female fighters but the women wanted to fight and kept demanding they be let in until the organization relented.
Rhonda Rousey made a ton of money until she got beat by Holly Holm a few years ago. If you think that girl's face looked bad you should have seen Allistair Overeem's kisser the last time he fought.

What a toe to toe slugfest! Both fighters are medically banned from fighting again for two months, after being evaluated.

I’ve been a boxing fan most of my life and have watched some MMA bouts but I have always drawn the line at women fighting. I guess I’m old fashioned but I dislike the thought of women fighting.
