The_Widow_Maker Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I have written a report on womens MMA and was published on a website today. This is the first thing I have written that has been published, so feel free to have a look at it :) [url]http://www.sportales.com/Martial-Arts/The-Face-of-Womens-MMA.291191[/url] Emmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackphoenix Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 great work Emmy. It's awesome to see someone else interested in MMA and the role of men and women. I'm actually working on a entire subject next semester at university on gender and women's mma. If your interested in female MMA, go to [url]www.fightergirls.com[/url] Josh Barnett, Roxi, Rosi, Kelly Kolbold, Erin Toughhill, Shayna Bazler, Debi Purcell... (and me! ;)) all hang out at the forum there and have awesome chats about women's mma. Even some fights are organised there. Interesting debates about marketing etc also go on there.

Antithesis Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I'd like to see an increase in popularity for women's MMA in the states. Not just for the fighters themselves, but for another reason as well. Due to the disparity in weight and bone density/muscle mass between women and men, knock outs are less likely to happen in women's mma, which means the grappling disciplines are more viable, in particular, there's catch wrestling, which isn't as well known in the states.

mike b Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Did any of you see last Saturday's NBC mma show(i think it was NBC or CBS) Man the crowd went wild for that womens fight they had and it was a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Widow_Maker Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 It'll have been Elite XC on CBS. There was 2 women's matches, but apparently the Gina Carano-Kelly Kobald Gavin fight was spectacular. I havent caught it yet, since they don't air in the UK, but I will check it out soon. Fas are going nuts about it though. The second female fight, Cris Cyborg and a Japanese lady who's name escapes me was apparently great too. Cyborg would probably give Gina a run for her money, if the fight were to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Widow_Maker Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hi again, Just thought some of you might be interested in my newest story: [url]http://www.sportales.com/Martial-Arts/The-Fall-of-Elite-XC.309233[/url] Fel free to comment on the story if you want to. Just so you know my backstory, Im a writer but I haven't been published in many places (Im only 23, so Im still trying). I write fantasy and sci-fi short stories too, but none of those have been submitted to publishers yet. I don't get paid for the articles posted on the sports site, save for the revenue I generate through adverts on there. I write for the love of writing, nothing else, and I'd appreciate any feedback anyone wants to leave for me Thanks again guys Emmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike b Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Elite XC has folded:eek: :( So there goes watching any female MMA fighters on TV because i believe(i could be wrong) that the UFC dont have any. Oh and by the way i read your story,not bad;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
