UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland is not a huge fan of women’s MMA.
On Saturday, UFC 297 will feature a co-main event fight between Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva.
Ahead of the fight card, Strickland went on a rant trashing women’s MMA when asked about the co-feature of the card.
“The WNBA, NBA…Who watches what? Who makes more money? Have women’s MMA, make it a f—- thing, I don’t like to watch it, I don’t think most people don’t like to watch it, if the females in MMA were to separate from the male MMA, no one is going to watch this sh–, no one wants to watch this sh–, it is what it is…Do you want to watch a sports car race a Honda Civic, no you want to watch a f’ing sports car.
“There is a vast difference between men and women…I’m not saying you can’t sit there and enjoy it but I don’t want to see two little cats fight…I wanna see Lions fight.”

No matter what Strickland has to say, women’s MMA is here to stay.
