K.J. Noons Thinks Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos Could Compete Against Men Her Own Size

Glad you put the proviso halfway through that this should never happen. The spectacle of a man grounding and pounding a woman—no matter how tough—is not something society could ever accept.

She fought two good fighters that are in her weight class and everyone thinks she should fight men? It’s easy for her to look good when Strikeforce keeps feeding her little girls that are a weight class or two below her.

I can barely stand to see women punching each other in the face, I certainly wouldn’t want to see a man hitting a woman in a prize fight.

I totally agree. The idea of a man hitting a woman has such deep seeded negativity and represents some of the worst of humanity. So much so that it’s not something easily digestible in our society, even when placed in the context of a “fair” fight, and really, I question whether it should be made acceptable at all.

If they want to throw like a man they can get hit by a man.

I wouldn’t mind, if the girl wants to prove she is the best evah, go for it. Dudes wrestling with bears, girls fighting dudes, life.

A lot of you have a lot of “Rescue the Princess” notions about women.

Reguardless of how strong or athletic a wemon athlete is, a mans bones have more mass and are genetically built different between hormones, muscle development and most importantly, Testosterone.

from Wikipedia

    - On average, an adult human male body produces about ten times more testosterone than an adult human female body, but females are, from a behavioral perspective (rather than from an anatomical or biological perspective), more sensitive to the hormone.

& if the male athelete is just as conditioned and athletic as well as experienced, the male will always have the advantage just for being a male. (to all wemon reading this, i’m not being bias whatsoever , these are just facts.) With that said, Cyborg deffinitely is not your average female and i’m sure she has a much higher testosterone level than your average female athlete aswell. Thats from a technical outlook, if you want my opinion, I believe she could do work to a dudes face, but like stated above, sociecty wouldn’t and will never accept the concept of a man and woman competing in combat rugardless if it’s consensual.

Just for the sake of discussion…

-Cyborg trains primarily with men at a camp where the sparring sessions are legendary for being brutal.
-Other than her first fight, she has crumpled every opponent in front of her. She makes it look easy and unfair.
-I have seen her workout sessions on video. She is a machine, regardless of her sex.
-Do you really think she couldn’t compete with some of the Men’s 145ers in DREAM? I think she’d shock some people. I’m not saying she’d win a belt but I bet she’d win some fights against men.

That said, I get what people are saying about the spectacle of a women getting gnp’d by a dude. That would be pretty sickening and just cannot happen in a sport that’s already bombarded with social criticism. But for the sake of discussion, I really think she could beat some male fighters at her weight.

A 145lb male fighter is built a lot different than Cyborg. She could beat a regular guys, but a trained male fighter her size is going to be way stronger and more powerful. A Jose Aldo leg kick would destroy her leg. Two reasons: women have lower bone density and for unknown reasons, women are much more prone the ACL tears. Testosterone alone would give a huge edge to the male, but then again, Cyborg seems to be getting her fair share of testosterone.
