Looks like it will happen when Strikeforce  is no more. Opinions?

I'm all for it, I think it would be great to have a women's fight or two on the UFC cards.

EPIC FAIL on Dana's part.

@lopati bad idea to have WMMA in the UFC? Or just bad idea committing to it right now?

I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later. Nothing wrong with putting a fight or 2 on a free card(prelims) to see how people react to it.

Bad Idea for Zuffa to get in on it.  All they are doing is grabbing the cash, they dont give a **** about WMMA.  If they did Dana would have let Shannon run with the ball when she worked for them.  He thought it was a joke back then, but now he sees dollar signs so he feels he should dip into the cash register of WMMA.

InvictaFC is the HOME of WMMA in the States.  Zuffa is not!!!  I have stated this and my stance will not change. 

The only fight they have right now is Rousey vs Cyborg.  Dana says a women's division, but what exactly does that mean?  Is he gonna create a 140 weight class so he can book that fight? or maybe he makes Ronda go to 145 to fight Cyborg.  The Question is what will he do after that fight?  

I have had a plethora of conversations with Women that fight for Invicta and they all love Shannon and Janet.  It is my hopes that they remember who gave them the stage to perform on and remain loyal to them.  Invicta has some big things rolling down the pipes that should be great for WMMA!!

Ronda vs Cyborg will not be the first female MMA fight in the UFC. They gonna milk that **** Mayweather vs Pacman style. When that fight happens, its gonna be on a PPV card down the line

yeah I think they would wait until they had a few women's fights on cards so they could make Rousey/Cyborg a Co-Main event.

@Lopati I feel what your saying, I wouldn't mind if Invicta became the place to go for WMMA, it would be cool if they could get a tv deal somewhere.

We will see, but this is nothing I support. Dana and Zuffa will make a mockery of WMMA!

I'm all for it, what a great opportunity for these fighters.  Give it up for the ladies, they also train there asses off, glad they will get more exposure, better sponsors, and bigger pay checks.

Id rather see bottom of the barrel UFC guys fight then watch womans mma. The only 2 woman worth watching is the arm breaking rousey and the roiding KO machine santos. After that theres nothing womans mma can offer me that will make it worth while. Theres a reason why bellator hasnt put on another womans tournament, theres just not enough talent out there yet to fill a division. Gotta give womans mma a few years to develop.

I'm not a big fan of this since women's MMA is still really thin, and Rousey has dominated all her competition already. Thought it was better keeping the women in Strikeforce for the moment.

Oh Dana White..

He really has to stop using the word "never"

There will never be WMMA in the UFC
Marquardt will never fight for Zufffa again (open to his return to UFC)
Johnson will never fight for ZUffa again (open to his return now)

Yeah I agree whenever he says never later on down the road he does the exact opposite.
