While I love MMA, I do not think men & women should fight each other. I know some women are just as tough as men, but this doesn’t feel good to me. BUT I will be tuning in to see what happens — my curiosity gets the best of me. Of course this won’t be taking place in the US, the fight will happen in Brazil — tomorrow. Check out the details & let us know what you think…
Via TMZ:
For possibly the first time ever, a MAN and a WOMAN will beat the crap out of each other in a historic MMA battle of the sexes … and there’s only two rules: no elbows and no knees, TMZ Sports has learned.
We spoke with a rep for the fight … who tells us that — other than the no elbows or knees rule — this is the real deal and neither fighter plans on holding back.
The epic showdown is set for Dec. 20 in Rio de Janeiro … when Shooto 45 pro-fighters Emerson Falcao will take on Juliana Velasquez in a legit, full force MMA battle.
In an interview … Falcao said he’s not worried about hitting a woman, saying “I’ve been training just the same as if I was fighting a man – and I’m going for the knockout.”
As for Juliana … she says she gets why people are freaking out, but promised “I will win, because I always train with men, there will be no surprises for me.”
We asked UFC owner Dana White if man vs. woman fights could ever go down in the U.S. … he only had one word: “impossible.”
