A fight for equality


Tonight Ronda Rousey fights Liz Carmouche in the first ever women’s UFC fight.  In some sports the women’s league is a topic for jokes and ridicule (the WNBA comes to mind).  In MMA this has somewhat been the case with many fans resistant to women fighting.  Comments are posted on MMA websites telling women fighters to get back in the kitchen and cook for the “real” fighters, the men.  This fight is the biggest in women’s MMA to date could change that perception.  Tomorrow we may know if equality was won but tonight they’re literally fighting for it.
