Current Events > Male UFC fighter challenges female UFC fighter to a match for intergender title

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/08/14/male-ufc-fighter-challenges-female-ufc-fighter-match-mythical-intergender-title/

In this corner stands Henry Cejudo, who in June became the fourth fighter in UFC history to win championship belts in two weight classes at the same time. In the opposite corner stands Valentina Shevchenko, who retained her UFC womens flyweight title via a unanimous-decision win over Liz Carmouche in Saturdays UFC Montevideo event and is considered one of the top female fighters in the world. If the former gets his almost certainly nonserious wish, the two UFC champions will square off for the circuits first intergender championship. My phone keeps blowing up, that somebody by the name of Valentina The Bullet Shevchenko is the most dominant champ in the world, Cejudo said in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, one day after Shevchenkos dismissal of Carmouche. And guess what: I get a little jellie because you know what, she has that gold and I want that gold. Valentina Shevchenko, I have a message for you: Im looking to become the first intergender world champion this world has ever seen. Im calling you out.

It wasnt Cejudos first challenge toward female fighters. In July, he told TMZ he wanted to take on Shevchenko or two-class champion Amanda Nunes. Asked Monday by ESPNs Ariel Helwani if she had seen Cejudos most recent challenge, Shevchenko said be careful what you wish [for] and that she could arrange it for Cejudo to lose all his gold forever.

For one...this would be an absolute blood bath.

But it would shut up many people who feel a woman can beat a man who is their peer in terms of sports.

I also remember people saying Ronda Rousey could beat up prime Ray Rice. Who doesnt even MMA.

there are no biological differences between men and women

Henry Cejudo is cringe
---

People were saying Ronda would beat Floyd Mayweather...

---

Yeah, they're not going to allow this.

Nah Ronda Rousey could beat up Floyd May weather. Tyson in his prime. Akebono. The entire make gracie line. And score five touchdowns in a single game. All at once.

No. Just stop.

The strength difference is way too high in a no holds barred fight to make Rouseys judo effective.

99.9% a professional football player who can squat 500 pounds and deadlift 300+ would crush Rousey.

ronda won gold in all the events at the first olympics

A dude being jacked doesn't mean he can fight.
The fight would then entirely depend on striking and who could land hits

I remember reading somewhere shes competed against men in judo before and won matches.

Probably couldnt hold up being hit in the jaw now though. At least ive heard once a jaw has been broke it becomes real easy to break again. My friends doctor told him to avoid getting into fights because of it.

Joking aside in an mma fight she could probably take an amateur level man if he's not too strong physically.
But Pro boxers are going to kill her. Pro grapplers may or may not. Throwing her against someone that's about 100lbs heavier and a pro grappler is asking for her to get hurt

She competed against men in training as a teenager since it was hard for her due to having no other girls or women in the class but that's it

Yeah i was thinking if they did male vs female fights perhaps they should let the female have the weight advantage. Like be a weight class above.

An 80 pound difference is alot and you've never done any grappling in your life if you think that doesnt make a difference.

This is just a cringey joke. Anyone who knows anything about fighting sports, or sports in general, knows that women can't compete with men on a physical level.
---

Its a dumb joke / plea for attention.

In a pure striking match bullet would win tbh. In an mma match shed get mauled on the ground.
