Rosi Sexton seems to be doing positive things for British MMA. Actually saw an article about MMA on the BBC which was written in a positive light. I've not seen many articles on the BBC about MMA, and can't recall one which talked about MMA in a positive way, so this is a massive step forward. An intelligent, English woman who happens to compete in MMA. Here's the link if you're interested in reading:
This is kind a the tale I think for Sexton right here, she can trade with the women but she is to small to try and clinch with them, she is just being over powered.
Interested to see how this plays out, I mean Davis had to have burnt out her legs but that had to have fatigued Rosi as well. Damn impressed with how Sexton did in that round considering how small she is.
Davis looked exhausted and frustrated when she got up at the end of that round, Sexton might be able to exploit that if she can keep Davis from getting her hands on her.
Can you imagine how small Sexton would look if she fought Liz Carmouche?
My description was accurate and I can accuse you of praising it just because you want to support it just as easily. I am indifferent to its existence I just care about good skills and athleticism.
The one girl was clearly far more skilled than the other but the fight degenerated into slop because she wasn't actually all that skilled the other one was just terrible. Oh what an amazing fight this is with a third of it being one person not being able to properly apply a triangle and the other person having no idea how to get out of it. Wow what great sloppy slow motion striking THESE GIRLS SURE ARE WORKING HARD!!!!
so do you also hate the prelim fights and regional mma as a whole? The fact that they are not as skilled as the men does not make it horrible,the fact they are evenly matched and had a back and forth competitive exciting fight still holds true

Men are easily threatened and very insecure. Especially the nerds and dateless wonders who frequent online forums. No, wait... I forgot... everyone here weighs 230 pounds of pure muscle and is proficient in mixed martial arts.
The fight had it's moments, and was certainly better than the Jimmo fight. I think you guys just need to take it for what it is. You go into a women's mma fight the same way you look at new guys on prelims. You know the skill level isn't going to be quite as high, and as long as you go in expecting that you wont be disappointed. Comparing it to a schoolyard fight is silly.
I trust os more than the average poster so I'm just going to assume it was as garbage as a typical women fight so I'll just skip it
I also love how women's mma is always described as "scrappy".
Perhaps the main reason these girls show such "heart" is because they both are so inept offensively that they can't actually physically damage each other. Unless its Cyborg then the "scrappiness" lasts all of 36 seconds or so.
It was a good fight and better than most on this card, I don't see what the problem is. These girls go hard, they fight a good pace and don't stop, and have to put up with tits, bras and long hair.
These girls got more fight in them than half the boys on this card, I don't care if they can't do what Anderson Silva does, they get in the cage with the right mindset and put on good fights.
I don't like to generalize on such touchy subjects, and it is early days, but every girl fight in the UFC so far has been a highlight of their event. The girls fight hard.
I think in previous converstaions on here regarding WMMA the tone has sometimes swayed the way of "the UFC sucks because they have women fights". Very rarely, but opinions have seemed rather derogatory towards WMMA in places.
I think the ones backing WMMA just need thicker skin. Fighters and posters get bashed here and no one cries foul besides the WMMA backers.
