True, whenever I watch the UFC they have lots of female and male fights mixed within the underdard. Unlike most boxing cards, they are worth watching and not an oppitunity to go and make a cup of tea.
Shields did awful in MMA but you've gotta at least give credit to the boxers that actually try. Boxers fighting MMA fighters under rules that ban the majority of the MMA guys skillset is stupid as ****.
uk frisbee playing has a much bigger talent pool than global female boxing. tbf the talent in female mma is vastly overstated. people like fights, a smaller group like the most technical fighting, but they still like fights and female mma has some great fights. so they pretend that they enjoy them for the high level technical aspect, but that isn't really there. look at weili's last fight. decent standup vs bad standup, awful ground skills vs basically zero ground skill. but still, long term all around training beats one specialism most of the time. rousey is an obvious argument against that, good for her becoming capable at a bunch of things that weren't her specialism, but it didn't end so well, or for holm afterwards.
It's not a bad move, quite the opposite - PFL is becoming bigger and more popular athletes are looking at it, which is also great because something has to kill this UFC clowning. This move can only bring her more fame and income as she will be presented as a boxing star there. And it might turn out she will become successful. Maybe not. Depending on how much she will concentrate on MMA, it may change her career as a fighter, but that is her decision.
