Actually I believe they did have a couple female fighters in the UFC, but it was not accepted by the public. In Mexico I have heard they even have Mixed MMA Male v. Female. I dont know how I feel about as per I have not seen more then one or two matches. I have basic issues w/ seeing a girl get hit(by a guy or girl) chauvenistic as hell I know.

I saw famed female boxer Lucia Rijker get her ass KO'd by a guy of equal size.

i have saw a few kickboxing fights on espn with women.and those girls were pretty good fighters.but ive never seen any with rules like in ufc.i think it would be awesome to watch.im sure there are some awesome girl fighters out there.but as far as a woman fighting a man i dont think thats right.

Fantastic! Good for you. I've seen a few MMA fights featuring women in regional organizations. Actually, the crowds were pretty enthusiastic about it. The women were just as professional/skilled as the men.

Their biggest challenge is not having enough opponents out there. Even with male sparring partners, nothing can replace the experience that comes from stepping into the cage/ring. I hope that changes. I'd like to see more women in the sport. I do agree that it should remain men vs men and women vs women.

Thanks for telling us your story.

I believe that NSAC bans Male vs. Female in "un-armed combat" events (such as MMA).

Also, BodogFight.com had some female fighters in a video clip they were showing.
They were TOUGH.
