    What do you think the win:lose ratio of men against women would be if professional MMA put all women in competition with men and made no other adjustments?

      Without dealing with the institutional misogyny that affects sports and especially MMA (budget for example) that discourages women from training and prevents them from getting the same facilities as their men counterparts? Yeah, the ratio would be skewed towards men. Maybe more if you for some reason decide to eschew weight classification, a system that is actually based on more than “all women are weak little flowers that will be wrecked by any man”

        It’s not misogyny that makes men stronger than women, it’s testosterone.

        But the strongest fighter doesnt always win! So it wouldn’t be exactly a cars vs cycle situation; point taken.
