    She hits hard but how would she react to getting hit by an opponent with denser muscles, bone structure and higher testosterone levels ?? I suspect not well, our only point of reference in regards to male vs female in combat sports was Lucia Rijker vs a journeyman in Muay Thai and it didn't end well for the female unsurprisingly.

    Amanda was wobbled by Germaine a couple of times in their last fight and she had to turn it into a wrestling match.
    A male MMA fighter would KO her cold and quick.

    And you could see Rijker was technically better than the man, too. Didn't help her.
