...has become more exciting than Men's MMA? I never thought I would hear myself saying anything like this. But tonight's Main Event buttressed the feelings that I have been experiencing recently.

Even on today's Fox main card. Valentina vs. Holly made Edson vs. Gilbert look like amateur night.

In the 3rd yes. But that was only because Barboza played it safe. I thought both were entertaining. Melendez & Barboza had some pretty wild exchanges. Not to mention Edson's kicks. Holm vs Shev was a 5 round technical battle. Also very entertaining

I'm just blown away that Gilbert's striking is so one-dimensional. He has a very good Muay Thai trainer, and the San Francisco area is one of the best places in the world to learn how to strike. And he has been doing it for many years. Meanwhile, Valentina trains with some Fat Peruvian guy that she met at Starbucks, yet her striking is light years beyond Gilbert's. It seems like nowadays the Men are more scared to get hit than the women. They should be ashamed of themselves.

stop it. Go take another blast off dat bowl. The women have always come to fight and have definitely shown to be true warriors but cmon man, to imply that the gentleman have not been delivering the goods as well is just poppycock. The product overall has been as solid as it's ever been and the quality of violence is at an all time high.

The women's BW division is without a doubt in my mind, the weakest talent pool in the UFC. They move with the speed of heavyweights in a frame that's half the size.
I do like the SW division, they're faster generally more exciting.

The only woman fighter i'm consistently excited to see fight is Joanna Jedrzejczyk. She is one of my favorite fighters but outside of that I wouldn't even get excited for Rousey fights.

WMMA is twice as likely to please and thrill on any given night, in any given promotion. Women are fighting, not out-pointing.

Have you ever watched Robbie Lawler fight? How about ALexander Gustaffson?

In fairness to Lawler, he had a long streak of Strikeforce fights that were terrible.
He's had a great current streak in the UFC, but people forget that he was almost done when he face Koschek.
