MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko was recently interviewed by “WHOA TV” and explained why he feels women have no place in the sport of mixed-martial-arts.
When asked about Ronda Rousey’s recent dominant title defense against Cat Zingano at UFC 184, Fedor’s translator said, “He saw her fight. She has really interesting fights. Maybe a little bit of improvement to striking, but he doesn’t support women’s MMA.”
Fedor himself would elaborate on his feelings, explaining why he feels MMA is a man’s sport, and that women should complete in sports where “women look like women.”
“Women shouldn’t compete in UFC/MMA because this sport is for men,” Emelianenko said through his interpreter. “There are a lot of sports where women look like women – like gymnastics, water sports, maybe some athletics.”
Fedor’s translator followed up, “He’s telling that women shouldn’t fight. MMA is for men. It’s a man sport.”
