“Unthinkable Showdown: Can Three Untrained Women Take Down Two Pro Fighters in a Fight That Stunned the Sports World?”
“This ‘fight’ was less about MMA and more about clicks and controversy. Are we watching the rise of entertainment sports or the downfall of actual competition?” someone said.
Others chimed in that the match “should’ve been 3 against 1.”
“no way this is even legal,” one user said, paired with a GIF of a man laughing hysterically.

But through it all, many praised the women for being willing to step in such an environment.
“Brave women if i say so myself,” someone complimented. “An inspiration to us all.”
“Them girls are tough tho ngl,” another added.
These sorts of events aren’t a first for RXF.
To many netizens, the match wasn’t fair to begin with
According to Daily Mail, the MMA company hosted a similar event last year that featured two women fighting against one man.
Unsurprisingly, it received backlash, as well, from many of its viewers.
The debate of whether intergender matches of combat sports should be allowed has been one that dates back many years. For some, it’s weighing the difference between crossing lines and pushing boundaries.
As written by Fight TV, some see it as a way to “push gender equality forward.” They believe that combat sports are centered around skill, technique, and mental ability, rather than just sole brute strength.

For them, it helps with “breaking down barriers and allowing women to showcase their abilities on equal footing with men. In disciplines like jiujitsu, where technique can sometimes trump size and strength, there may be more room for intergender competition to be taken seriously.”
