Women in MMA
Well, since you fey MMA boys can't keep the ring girls thread up on the main page, let's try one about MMA girls. I know there are plenty, but here's one, just for starters:

FIGHT IN FLIGHT
THE NEW MISTRESS OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
By JENNIFER FERMINO

June 6, 2007 -- Meet Jennifer Santiago, a gorgeous, five-foot-two, 120-lb pro butt kicker who is being hailed as one of the toughest female competitors in the country.

"People underestimate me," says the 24-year-old. "They have a stereotype of fighters that are women. They think they are ugly and look like men. So they see me and think I must be no good."

Those people would be wrong.

Santiago is an undefeated star of martial arts legend Chuck Norris' burgeoning World Combat League, racking up an impressive eight wins including a 19-second knockout. She's also a 2003 and 2004 Golden Glove champion, and has developed quite a following at the West Village's posh Printing House Fitness Club.

It all began for her as a little girl growing up on East Seventh Street.

"I've been doing martial arts since I was 4 years old," she says, crediting her father and older brother with sparking her interest.

By six, she was competing in the sport karate circuit. At eight, she won her first championship.

Soon enough, she was winning trophies in three martial arts categories: fighting, forms, and weapons.

She competed for the next 15 years, and worked her way up to a six-degree black belt, but never dreamed that she'd be a pro fighter.

"I wanted to be a doctor."

However successful Santiago gets, there's one person who'll probably never see her in the ring - her Bayamon-born mother, Jeannie Santiago.

"She wanted to see my last fight, and I told her no," says Santiago. "I thought she'd have a heart attack.

Santiago's next World League Combat fight is in August.

She improved mine. Too bad Feitosa was looking over us. You sort of get performance anxiety.

Better stay on the family's good side with her.

Could you imagine the shear number of family members you may have to fight were you to break her heart.

I'd never date a full-contact fighter chick. Everywhere you took her after the fight, people would assume you'd just beat her ass like a wife-beater, and you'd get dirty looks left and right.

Where to put this?
I wanted to post this on our Gay MMA thread, but y'all just couldn't behave yourselves there so it got locked.

Then I thought the Ring Girls thread might be good, just to ttt it, but that's not really fair to Gina.

Warning - this is from gaywired.com so all you ****phobes will feel queer after.

Quote:
Say hello to Gina Carano. She’s sweet, sexy, loves to tell jokes and can kick the ass of every person in the room… male or female. It doesn’t matter. Just ask her sparing partners. She’s a mixed martial arts specialist and she holds a 12-1-1 record as a Muay Thai fighter. Muay Thai… you know… Thai boxing that includes your fists, elbows, knees and feet as weapons -- just like Jean-Claude Van Damme in those kick boxer movies. If blood makes you queasy then you can catch her elsewhere. She’s “Crush” on the new American Gladiators Show. Different outfit, same great moves… Go ahead and laugh but this show is racy. Or at least some of the people on the show are.

On the gossip side, TMZ.com had some interesting stories to tell about the American Gladiators' Show…

When Belinda Gavin filled in her contestant’s bio for the show she listed professional bull rider as one of her proclivities. What she didn’t include was that she was a former adult actress and porn star with the screen / porn star alter ego name Kylie Wyote... and here I go again with that smile for the cute animal reference…

American Gladiator Erin “Steel” Toughill also made headlines. Toughhill’s husband -- a fellow MMA specialist -- filed a restraining order against her for allegedly beating him up on their honeymoon. They are no longer married…
