If you thought conquer of Sarah Kaufman Roxanne Modafferi was a great fight, you should follow the throwdown on MMA female falling between different blog MMA. One side thinks MMA female is unathletic, stinks and does not belong to a first place on television. The other is irked by the lack of respect.
The flap of Kaufman began when he blogged that she was unhappy with its positioning on Strikeforce Challenger 9. Kaufman (0-12) delivered a nice finishing slam to end things against Modafferi, but MMA payout says that the slam only supports its argument that the fight is female it belongs to.
If anything, the slam is further support for the idea that women don't have a lot of speed, force and threshold of damage which make MMA so dynamic and exciting. The Kaufman slam pales in comparison to Rampage-Arona (or even Harris-Branch), that sums up perfectly the difference between the two sports and why MMA women has such a tough row to hoe.
The slam has become a lightning rod for supporters of the female MMA and Kaufman. Fightlinker dished out just slam call analysis of win MMA "asinine" and that it did not belong in a site by analyzing the business side of MMA.
Opinion of the fight was not happy with the critical prefight that Kaufman scored for complaining of exhibition:
Said his claim for fight on Strikeforce major card. who came you blame?Supporters.
Apparently the media, however, largely isn't happy with his attitude. a note to those criticizing her with indignation largely produced — who else is going to promote yourself if he works for the promotion is not doing a good enough job, promotion of you or themselves?
FO says men do all the time, so why not Kaufman?
Let's say for what it is — Sarah has done something that made other combatants in promotion (promoted themselves) and again she gets heat for it while everyone who goes into business for themselves in Strikeforce Gets a shrug of the shoulders from writers beat. you don't have a contract as Dan Henderson and make a living to a business that requires devotion 100% means you have to scratch and claw to get every dollar it can do.If it is through sponsorships, spot, fight salary, or whatever may be the vehicle of revenue, you have got to earn a living.
Zach to FO thinks different blogger ripped Kaufman, why did for a beautiful story during a slow news week.
So why the heat against Sarah by writers, which is an entirely different reaction to the favourable response from fans? Is a melting pot of grounds. Firstly, it is a dry cycle news. Writers are seeking material. Secondly, it is a woman, and there is plenty of fans voice that aren't on the bandwagon MMA female.
If you read Cagewriter on a regular basis, for me the jury is still out on MMA female. I thought that the fight of Gina Carano-Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos was as good as any I had seen during 2009. But what kind of fight female is too often outnumbered by unathletic clinchfests-looking.
Opinion of struggle, is right, ultimately it is up to you guys. If tuned on a regular basis, producing a number great visibility, and MMA female helps fill arenas around the country, it had a future. Certainly is a much better product than female boxing, but so is the WNBA and for some reason men have consistently snubbed it.
