lol daniel cormier has great cardio, great hands, great fight IQ, and amazing wrestling. He's definitely 'in shape'. It's an insult to DC to compare him to an amorphous bucket of **** like Spencer.

It's true, I do hate WMMA in general. Here's what amazes me about the whole thing; I know to a certainty that if half the women cheered for by WMMA enthusiasts were men, those same people cheering for them would be screaming for them to be cut.The tolerance for the rate of mediocre to flat out abysmal WMMA fights compared to that of the men's divisions is incredible. Somehow, having a ****** (or at least a semblance of one, or the illusion that one might be possessed) translates to a kind of 'handicap effect' which results in WMMA enthusiasts  asserting that what would otherwise be considered terrible as a 'good contest' or a 'solid fight'. Now, this isn't totally incomprehensible to me; I can understand doing this if the woman in particular is sexy, but this phenomenon seems to happen even when the particular woman or women involved are fairground monstrosities.  This brings me on my second point, which is a phenomena I will term 'The highschool substitute teacher under age 40 effect'.

Essentially what this refers to is the tendency for people to find WMMA fighters considerably more attractive then they are because they are WMMA fighters, or to simply pretend an WMMA fighter is attractive when they are not. It is the same effect that happens in highschool, whenever a younger teacher subs in, or is part of the staff, and is deemed to be sexy even though she really isn't, bust just happens to be remotely within the scope of child-bearing age.There is some truly bizarre psychological relativism at play here; surely, I think, that if most of these female fighters were not fighters, the people who are seemingly besotted with them would pass them on the street and not think they were physically appealing in any way, and probably wouldn't even notice them. Something about them being fighters makes them all Aphrodites hovering above half-shells. Megan Anderson is not sexy, for example; she's a bleached female wallaby with the smile of a braying cart horse. Maycee barber is just ok, but she's not a remarkable beauty. Ditto Vanzant. Ostovich is a butterface. KK is....well, KK is pretty cute, to be fair.

Here's what I'm not going to do; pretend that ****** WMMA fights are good, that generally they aren't terrible (because typically they are) and that the good ones aren't exceptions to a rule that states they are typically boring-ass decision fests that nobody cares about or will remember. That, and I will not be hoodwinked into believing that a not-horrid looking woman and a genuinely beautiful woman are the same thing. Just because a woman doesn't make me want to scratch my own eyes out doesn't mean she's the second coming of prime Sophia Loren. Half of tWMMA fighters have pecs and sound like Barry ******* white on the Mic. Claudia Gadelha literally speaks in the brown noise:

If only finding genuinely attractive women is crime, your honors, then I am guilty of that crime, and crimes of such a nature inter se; I reject that I should be compelled to be sexually aroused by 'women' who need to shave their upper lips and are capable of carrying me home unconscious, slung over their shoulder effortlessly as an Autumn cardigan from the bistro after I've had far too many. I submit for your consideration that as of this minute, there is an enormous contingency of people in existence who will willingly fiercely defend the supposed 'beauty' of this  shemale  of chemical artifice exampled below as vigorously as if it is there younger sister's chastity:

 


I submit that this is not a woman; objectively, this a bricklayer named Gary masquerading as a woman in a novelty wig he won in a shooting gallery at a county fair in Iowa in the year 2003. Any man who finds this woman attractive is of highly questionable sexuality, because frankly those traps and the cleft between  'her' pecs would put Commando era Schwarzenegger to shame, are not female qualities, are the antithesis of them, and should not be sexually motivating to any bona fide heterosexual  man who is aroused by femininity.  Even the name 'Holly Holm' is the sort of perverse alias concocted by the cheaper-by-the-hour painted sausage-pantie peddler to be found on the corner of any red light district.

Women's fighting in MMA is much younger than men's fighting. Women's fighting is still in its first generation.

I don't care about the why; I care about the what is. And just because I think that laregly WMMA is **** doesn't mean I think it's all ****. UFC needs to be much more selective in which WMMA fighters they sign, and they should be quicker to cut WMMA fighters on the basis of poor performance--they need to be held to th same standard as the men.

There's way less of a talent pool to draw from too. 
You can't hold them to the same standard as the men because they're not men. 
You're more consistently hard on the boring women fights then u are on the boring men fights.
And there are way more boring men fights. Finally there are all kinds of beautiful and sexy wmma fighters.

My top five

Misha Tate
Page vanzant
Rachel ostovich 
Michelle waterson 
Bea malecki 

I'd murder u and everyone u love for the pleasure of sucking all fifty of those toes.

See free, you're still doing it. Again, I'm not interested in the reasons as to why WMMA is terrible most of the time. That's not my job as a consumer who just wants to see great fights as much as possible. For every terrible WMMA that is booked, a good fight isn't booked. The promotion is guilty of every good fight it did not put on.

And you'd expect there to be more boring male fights because there's more male fights. It's just pure arithmetic. The rate of bad WMMA fights is much higher in WMMA.

Bea Malecki looks like a snapper. And those other women are just average. Even Misha. If they were just models, or announcers, or ring girls your reaction would just be 'meh'.

I'm sure she's a fine young filly. Wouldn't mind chewing the cud with her some time. She's certainly off to a galloping start in the UFC, seems a bit melancholic though--always with the long face.

@ free, all you have to do is go to rankings and pick any womens weight division and in the top 50 you will find  many women better looking than those you named.
