Men have 40 times the testosterone of women, therefore men carry higher muscle mass and lower body fat. This is plainly obvious in the real world and in any anatomical textbook. Somehow I doubt a woman with 18% bodyfat weighing 135 is the same strength as an 8% bodyfat 135 lbs male.I'm all for women in every kind of sport, but let's not ignore bilogy/reality/facts.Kishore Gajbhiye - Forwardedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01355802393499429878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838227697366604035.post-82348273872013556492013-04-09T19:48:46.063-07:002013-04-09T19:48:46.063-07:00Is there equality between men and women in any oth...Is there equality between men and women in any other sport (there may be some but I can't think of them)? Even in pool they have to separate into different divisions! As you mention, fighting has great simplicity to it, but it is the last sport I would look for equality in since it's arguably the closest to using all the physical advantages men have over women. Also note that when people argue that Silva or xxx is the best, there is always a caveat--pound for pound best--not straight up best. How would you compare a woman and a man then? It wouldn't be even pound for pound. They have totally different talent pools, too. I don't see how you can make an honest comparison between the two if they can never fight each other. <br /><br />Who is to say Silva couldn't beat dos Santos? I agree he would be at a big disadvantage, but it's possible (Fedor beat some monsters over a hundred lbs heavier than him...yes I know this isn't exactly apples to apples comparison). Or, they could drop/gain weight to meet each other in between their current weight classes. But this would never be allowed for women vs man? Seems fundamentally different and I don't think you could ever call it equal.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838227697366604035.post-1510672122208517412013-01-21T09:23:12.220-08:002013-01-21T09:23:12.220-08:00Haha, did you read the blog?

Just like 125lb men are not physically as strong as 165lb men, but can be considered equally skilled and admirable in fighting, women are just as comparable.jiMMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506393383532511261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838227697366604035.post-12545672736764290202013-01-19T09:34:32.966-08:002013-01-19T09:34:32.966-08:00Have you simply ignored science ?

Women are simply not made like men-of course they can compete in MMA in a womans division but they will never have a chance at competing against men because science and obvious observation tells you that they do not have the same natural physical strength as men. This is an evolutionary truth and ignorance of it or wish for it o be something else because of feminist insecurity will not change it.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154155236275516814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838227697366604035.post-55891303971520382602012-02-05T04:52:50.453-08:002012-02-05T04:52:50.453-08:00Well my point is that whether or not someone is st...Well my point is that whether or not someone is stronger is kind of irrelevant in our sport, we have weight classes to prevent opponents who are unfairly matched physically from fighting each other.jiMMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506393383532511261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838227697366604035.post-48220171953492925612012-02-04T21:02:00.073-08:002012-02-04T21:02:00.073-08:00The only way to truly show who is stronger is to h...The only way to truly show who is stronger is to have both men and women of similar weight classes fight one another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
