I wouldn't say WMMA just sucks.  There's definitely a higher percentage of these sparring match kinda fights in WMMA compared to the men, but the men have their fair share of ****** fights as well, and the women definitely do have some great fights too.

I was afraid that the judges give it to the local girl. I was anticipating a most clear win from calvillo. This was competitive.

@Alias yeah, I'm with you, this is the most level-headed opnion about it. It just sucks to see those sparring matches constantly on main cards. But I get it this is what takes to the sport to grow.

@ Alias that's simply because there's many more male fights. If mens MMA was as statistically ****** as WMMA, nobody would watch it.

lol I know exactly what pudliova is going to do. She's going to throw a million strikes per round that couldn't shoo away a fly, and get a decision. She couldn't finish a happy meal.

@ImperatorFishrat That might be true. For that reason the women's talent pool will probably always be way smaller than the men's but that doesn't mean there aren't some quality female fights out there to be made.

@fish She can't finish a happy meal, so she's going to make weight.  Are finishes the only thing we watch MMA for?  If so, then most women aren't worth watching.  But if we're watching for war, Pudilova can paint the octagon red.

Vick is equal parts vulnerable and dangerous.
