Fightmatrix shows 100 women listed in the rankings at AW, SW, FlW, BW and FW combined.
So each WMMA weight class only has an average of 20 fighters competing at the pro level in the world in UFC, Bellator, ROAD, Shooto, Pancrase, Rizin etc...
And the UFC plans to have four WMMA titles. They must see things really growing in the future.
There are more men competing in pro MMA at LW from Florida or Dagestan than there are women competing in pro MMA from all weight classes, everywhere in the world.
Just two totally different things, MMA and WMMA.
FW WMMA might be a real thing in five years, right now it is just a marketing gimmick to sell something.
BJ Penn Forever - GDR vs Holm II for the LW title headlining the 216 PPV.
Take my money!
Is that even a thing?
what weight is Gabi Garcia?
LW is not a thing, I was just making a joke given GDR and Holm already got to fight for a title in non-existent UFC weight class, why not let them run it back for another title on PPV.
Gabi Garcia is a HW, she fights at over 220 lbs, I know that much.
I truly would like to see how Garcia vs Cyborg would play out in Rizin. I think Cyborg can take her.
