I'm used to being beaten up as a sponsored skateboarder but more by concrete, wood, and steel than punches. I'm not sure I'd like being beaten up that way.
I think I could manage it because I'm a crazy person this way when it comes to "high risk of pain", not "guarantee of pain". But I don't know for sure.
Anyone can say, "Hell yeah, I'll kick Fedor's ass, hold my beer!" But I think I'll just get my head caved in. I would probably think it's fun though. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't' be a good fighter either way. I'm just thinking I'd enjoy it somehow even if I get my ass kicked half the time.

Lol thanks so much for taking the time to leave feedback. Aweeeeeesome 🔸
I watched that fight with a bunch of friends... it was said to be the greatest UFC MMA women's fight in UFC history and has already being considered to go into the UFC HALL OF FAME.
My sisters, and I, have practiced MMA for years now but I would not consider doing any sanctioned fights.
My 4 favorite MMA female fighters are...
SISTERS and UFC Champions Valentina and Antonina Shevchenko...Paige Vanzant... and Miesha TateGIRLS KICK ASS!

Awe that's so cool. I usually only watch the male fights but this one was freaking fantastic. Not that she got hurt but girls can punch and guys better be careful. 👊👊👊
Jesus Christ, NO! I despise violence... I don't even see how this is considered to be sports. *shudder* I don't like those type of sports... I've done Capoeira, but Capoeira is non-contact so completely safe as long as you have are following instructions and do some proper training. This sort of competition is not my cup of tea though.
a profession which i was hoping to get into, but due to poor health and shitty luck in life I wouldn't be a good choice for a career in UFC same goes for my dream of being a sniper in the British army... i was considered good on both my martial arts skills, and my accuracy with firearms but health has a way of snuffing those dreams out of existance

Omg snipers are literally the best. I definitely couldn't do it though. I don't like being in the prone position for long periods of time. 🔸
When I was 16 I fought semi professionaly in Vegas. Illegal as all heck cage fights. I held my own. I'm a middle aged man in not nearly as good of shape. Though I have many great friends who do, and many more who teach I think that those years are behind me. I just don't see me dedicating that much of my life to fighting, especially now.
It was, but at the time I was a very angry young man, and it was a way for me to release some of that anger. I had had a very traumatic experience and wasn't dealing with it very well. So fighting was just natural. I was working with two separate coaches as well as US Marine PT. I was passively suicidal and juat wanted the pain to go away.
No! I'm too Smart, ( not bragging) ! An old man in TN , once told me.. . " Son ! If ya wanna be Tough ,. . Ya gotta be Dumb " ! I immediately got pissed , and he walked of laughing which only added fuel to my Fire!!! the next morning, he came up to me I said piss on you he laughed and said " Son ! Think about it . ."? I did and immediately the lightening bolt hit me , I grinned big , he said , " You know ! " I said " Thanks , Jimmy, !" and we became good friends !
I would like to box for fun but I wouldn't want to make it into a career. Especially considering that some UFC fighters have the potential to run into neurological problems down the road due to repeated blows to the head.
I am barbaric enough to watch professional fights, but I do not think I have it in me to hurt and risk killing people for money. I can only do that when acting in self-defense or in defense of another.

Thanks for leaving some helpful feedback. This is such an extreme sport. I definitely couldn't do it. 🔸
No , I have no desire , I only fight if my life is threatened but not going to put myself in a cage for money but I like watching other people do it , I missed this match and had a feeling Joanna was going to lose
I could but I wouldn't be that good and I'd quit for sure in a match if I was getting beat up that bad. I probably wouldn't even come off the stool if I felt that kind of swelling on my head.
This is beyond anything I ever thought possible! I remember cringing at Cyborgs injury. His whole skull just went in with that flying knee kick. This injury is definitely up there 💀
When i was a lot younger i probably would have wanted to because i grew up fighting... mostly just redneck shit because small towns are boring as fuck... for fun we would put on gloves and beat the shit out of eachother... i dont know if id have the discipline though to get to a pro level... or want to get in the ring with some of those guys... getting punched lox j dhdhjjhjfsddd 0 tee
I couldn't, I dont have the work ethic or the talent, but i admire these girls so much.

I'm crazy & fit enough to try but being 5'2" only might make my climb to the top even more difficult. My MMA Trainer husband believes I can but he refuses to let me try because he "doesn't want my beautiful face to get clobbered."
I was actually training to get into cage fighting once i got out of high school, but i gained over 100lbs from some medication i was given to help me sleep. That kinda ended up crushing that dream.
That was a brutal fight, very talented woman, me personally being a man yeah a could, maybe woman should have another ring not a cage, for a more suffocated martial art, it ain't pretty
I saw that fight. She's tough because she kept going after her forehead got swollen 😩 but to answer your question yes if I was trained I could be a UFC
Yes absolutely, actually it is (was) my dream to be an mma fighter, but bipolar, adhd, depression and anxiety all got in the way, rather than chasing my dreams I was too busy self medicating
I mean these haematomas are so common in boxing that they casually refer to them as a mouse. I have fractured my spine in a street fight so a lump on the head wouldn't be the sort of injury that would deter me from mixed martial arts. This is the sort of injury that tells me that mixed martial arts is not the career for me:
