Default Amanda Buckner Interview

AB: "We've heard from Showtime that, even though they think I'm a great fighter, they will not be using me unless I change my appearance and personality."

Sadly, no one is going to read an "Amanda Buckner Interview".
I wanted to draw attention to the fact that Showtime is in fact sexist.

I read it. I'd also point out that the stereotype for the target MMA audience is also sexist. But it's a stereotype, with exceptions.

I read it and I don't see what the big deal is.

Then again, I'm a male chauvanist pig whom if forced to watch girls fight, only wants to see hott girls.

I have been watching World Fight League or World Combat eague....the team kickboxing tourneys and I have been digging the female fights. I actually had a college professor who was a female MMA fighter. She is a Sherdog person but I wont hold that against her too much. She was pretty cool anyway and she was a rabblerauser with an arrest history.
