Hey fellow posters, I have to disagree with a few points made here. Rousey is not a loud mouthed neo-feminist, from everything she has said and posted/written, many interviews she believes in the equality of men and women but is not a Neo-Feminist. The women she has fought were the only fighters she could fight at the time, Tate being her toughest fight before Holms and Nun"ape". Tate submitted Holm then got submitted by Nunape, Holm ko'd Rousey but lost to Tate and Shevchenko, Shevchenko lost a decision to Nunape. Any given night anyone can beat anyone. Rousey has a big mouth no doubt fueled by Gomer White's greed for money. She got caught with a punch from a steroid monkey striker who is built like a man and couldn't recover, so what? I wouldn't get in the ring with her as she would put a beating on your average couch potato male, which I am one.
Yes I agree that women's MMA skill set is not the greatest but I enjoy watching them as they bring an energy level that most men's fights are missing. The women's straweight champion is quite skilled and has good fast striking is not a roid monster and is interested in men. In today's world a white woman who can fight and defend herself on the streets is needed especially in America's high schools and most of Europe where non white gang mentality is king and white women are the targets. I have three grown daughters whom I taught to fight and defend themselves at a young age and to this point only one of them had to use it in self defense(she broke the guys nose with a straight right then followed with a kick to the head) after he tried to grab her butt and breasts.
