It's nothing personal against women, I'm simply just not entertained by women in combat sports. It's like watching a WNBA game. I've seen previous fights and personally find them boring (even street fights). A part of me hopes the numbers go poorly so there wont be more women main events.
I won't be, but I stream all the events so that's not really saying much.
I guess if I think about it, if I didn't stream would I buy it... probably not. Hendo vs. Machida is the only fight on the card that I'm actaully interested in. The other fights I'd watch if they were free on TV or something, but I'd only lay down money to see Hendo vs. Machida.
Since there are no other supporting fights that are interesting to me, I'd not buy it and just watch Hendo vs. Machida online for free the next day.
While I won't be buying it myself, I will be going to the local sports bar and watching there and will be supporting that they are putting it on. While I respect your opinion of not enjoying WMMA, I respond by saying. Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby! Title defenses will always be the main event though, so I don't really have any worries so long as Carmouche crushing Rowdy doesn't kill the division.
See i'm in a tough spot. I would like to buy this too help support WMMA, because i want to see it do well. Though at the same time I'm pissed off at the UFC so I'd end up streaming. But ultimately I have to work so it's out of the question
I almost always go out to a bar to watch them. I have only actually purchased a few here and there. But I won't be around to watch the card at all tonight anyway. :dunno:
We got Sam Stout, Schaub vs Lavar,Kos vs Robbie Lawler, Uriaj Faber vs Ivan, Machida vs Dan and the first ever Female fight in the UFC Ronda vs Liz Carmouche. And every time i have watched women fight they have brought it.
If i wasnt working id have gladly spend 50$ on it.
Not buying. Seem's like a decent event but with strained cash at the moment I can't afford the paper views. It was simple when I lived in the UK but it's far too costly here in the states.

I really don't understand opinions like this. Why does the gender of the fighters matter? A good fight is a good fight. The plumbing has no effect on whether or not they can throw a punch or show heart or technique. From the outside it looks like bias.
And I will be buying tonight. Good night of fights lined up.
This is the one card I'm passing on for awhile. I've rented the last 4-5 in a row then one like this comes along so I skip it and watch it online the next day.
I really like watching Machida fight but I can't justify spending the money for such a weak overall card.
