^ LOL…No, please! Can we get the state athletic comission to declare special “pillow fight” rules for this one? Can’t have that face messed up, man.

Honestly, I was against women’s MMA at first…I’m still not the biggest fan. However, I’ve been able to appreciate what most of them bring to the table. I think they should have 5 min rounds just like the guys…

The future of women’s mma is uncertain that’s for sure. After Cyborg/Carano then what? Will Strikeforce invest in creating other contenders to fight the winner of that fight? If so, will they be successful? What if Carano loses(that’s a big possiblity)…how are they going to market a non English speaking female that looks dude ish?

I just didn’t like seeing the women all busted up…bloody and whatnot…regardless of if they were attractive or not.

I can feel it, but I would be wearing my ass as a hat if I ever aired such opinions – there’s an abundance of women in both my AND my girlfriends family haha.

Bloody hell.

why are we not talking about tara larossa?

Because Strikeforce wants you to believe that Carano/Cyborg are the be all end all of women’s MMA.
