Re: Can a male pro athlete beat a smaller, female pro MMA fighter?

Long arms are an advantage in boxing, no question. But once you're on the ground, they become a serious liability. If this hypothetical fight were to happen, there's a chance he could use his superior reach advantage to knock her out right after the opening bell. But if he missed, she's taking him down, and then he's done.

Re: Can a male pro athlete beat a smaller, female pro MMA fighter?
Come on
It's so abvious he would destroy her that I can't do nothing else than laughing How can she ? A thing is fighting a girl, 5'7 for 135 lbs... Completely another "world" is fighting a guy, 6'3 for 215 lbs, NFL player... We're talking about a fantasy "tale". The real point would be (at least for me) finding the "courage" to seriously hit a girl ! That's the main "challange" ! Is there someone here that really could do that ??? P.S Maybe (and I'm saying MAYBE) the only thing that might happen is a "grappling" event-show between them... And people will see Ronda pierce the stratosphere Last edited by Bulldozer1986; 03-Mar-15 at 23:20. |

Re: Can a male pro athlete beat a smaller, female pro MMA fighter?
I used to fight. In my early training, bout 3 months in I sparred with a shorter, female fighter for testing and I easily dominated. She was much more experienced yet I could simply react faster and was stronger; I was holding back yet I dominated because I used my size (me, 200lbs vs her, 135lbs).

UFC 184 Aftermath: On Ronda Rousey, Female Athletes and Forced Comparisons March 2, 2015. 5:11 pm UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey should be held out as the face of the brand and an example of excellence inside the Octagon, not dropped into forced comparisons with male competitors and contemporaries. Posted by: E. Spencer Kyte Ronda Rousey is a one-of-a-kind talent – a true world-class athlete with next level skills, tremendous drive and focus and a string of standout performances that illustrates the gap between the reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion and everyone else in the division. She’s the first female titleholder in UFC history, arguably the biggest star in the organization and a fighter destined to go down in the history books as one of the best of all-time, if she’s not there already. Rousey has eclipsed everyone else on the women’s side of the sport and is running parallel with the biggest names on the male side of the ledger, posting wins that you can watch as Vines. She’s left us grasping for ways to talk about what her future holds because at this point, no one seems capable of being anything more than the person standing on the opposite side of the Octagon. There are no comparisons for Rousey and there doesn’t need to be. She’s a standout competitor that should be celebrated on her own merits, discussed in terms of what she’s accomplished in the cage and how she’s setting the bar unbelievably high for future female mixed martial artists. Rather than trying to force these comparisons, this should be the time where we’re celebrating Rousey’s unparalleled talent in the cage and standing as one of the most dominant female athletes on the planet today. With each victory, we talk about Jon Jones’ positioning the pantheon of all-time greats, dissecting where he stands in comparison to the previous icons that came before him. Rousey is the icon. She’s the first of her kind; the one showing not only that females can be bankable stars for the UFC, but that they can be as dominant inside the cage as their male counterparts as well, perhaps even superior in some areas. Her Fight IQ is off the charts – she creates openings and recognizes opportunities instantly, making critical decisions on the fly as well as anyone in the sport today – and her finishing ability is unmatched. She’s doing things inside the Octagon that we’re not seeing from anyone else, male or female, and we should be shouting about it from the rafters. Instead, a lot of the conversations coming out of UFC 184 have been about Rousey facing male fighters and comparing her to Mike Tyson. We don’t talk about female athletes the same way we do their male counterparts – they’re often relegated to second billing and the lengthy discussions about legacies and where they fit in the pantheon of all-time greats in their sport very seldom occur. At the same time, we don’t ever look to compare male athletes to their female counterparts – no one ever calls Chris Paul, “the male Sue Bird” – so why do we force the reverse so often? Rousey deserves to be talked about free of these cumbersome comparisons and unrealistic questions. If anything right now, she should be held out as a paragon of excellence for the sport of mixed martial arts. She’s an Olympic medalist that has become a dominant champion in an emerging sport. She has an undefeated record and is electric to watch in the Octagon – the exact type of fighter that attracts casual fans and appeases the hardcore audience at the same time. She’s talented, tough, strong and sexy while bringing professional wrestling elements to the table that elevates her from being an accomplished fighter and decorated champion to an absolute superstar and it all comes at a time when the UFC is in dire need of someone to step up and become the face of the brand. Over the last few months, there has been more talk of superstars that have stumbled and generated negative headlines than athletes that have excelled and brought positive attention to the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Polarizing as she can be as a result of her “pull no punches” personality, Rousey’s desire to be a role model for her little sister and achieve the greatness her father predicted for her from a young age will keep her from landing in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Rousey isn’t going to test positive for banned substances or pop up on a police blotter – she understands that there are too many people counting on her to be a positive example and a pioneer in a male-dominated sports and seems to relish being in a position to break down barriers and be an agent of change in terms of how female athletes are perceived and discussed. And fans and media need to follow her lead. Put away the lazy comparisons and regrettable questions about which male fighters Rousey could beat in the cage and start talking about the UFC women’s bantamweight champion as the transcendent talent that she is. |

Don't misunderstand my words ! I simply said that there is no comparison against a trained male opponent like that. It simply doesn't make sense under all points of view and it makes me laugh. Even Josè Aldo is an amazing champion, regardless the point that Valazquez would destroy him (and they are of the same gender). Ronda is simply a unique talent in her field but people have to understand that it doesn't mean that her field is the toughest on earth. Sorry but I'm not the "maker" of the world and of its natural rules. |
