Thanks for the video. Kim was well spoken.

Kim looks like she’s aged 5 years.

She makes a good point though: many have not yet accepted mens MMA as a sport yet, so the backlash against womens MMA is to be expected.

Well spoken, but she doesn’t remember half of what happened during the fight and is blatantly lying about coming out to touch gloves so it’s hard to take what she’s saying seriously.

She comes across pretty good, but she didn’t change my mind about anything. I think the fight should have been stopped (due to the broken jaw). She probably should have gotten more training time before making her pro debut. I can’t see where she was trying to touch gloves after watching the opening seconds of the fight numerous times.

Red herring

I’m less concerned about the length of the rounds than I am about whether women’s bone structure in the face makes them more susceptible to injuries like broken jaws. We’ve all heard about “a good chin,” so it wouldn’t surprise me if a woman’s more delicate facial features leave them vulnerable.

That’s actually a good point – something I’ve never considered before. Certainly women’s bones are far more susceptible to osteoporosis and other ailments that weaken them.
