McMann, although not successful parlayed that into a quick title shot.Īnd with those title shots comes 6 figures now. TUF made many of them famous in a way that formerly only male TUF contestants knew as well.Ī women who fought in the Olympics as recently 4 years ago likely didn't see an MMA path that was profitable, now probably every single female in fight disciplines in the Olympics do. Tate, Zingano, Corriera, VanZant, Cyborg, JJ, Calderwood, etc. What Ronda Rousey is doing though, that no one did before her, is showing women a way in MMA to get rich, or at least to prosper. So to try to figure where WMMA will be in 5x as long as that? That's tough. There's was no womens MMA in the UFC little over 2(?) years ago. Given the discrepancies for weight classes, desire, and accounting for the meager crossover rates of men's wrestling (which is bigger than any Olympic women's combat event, and 3/4 as large as all of the women's events combined) one would be loopy in the head to think that there will be some huge influx of female judokas.
are you trying to say gold is not rare because platinum is more rare?Īnd that's not even taking into account that even with the highest likely crossover rate, you wouldn't see more than a handful from each Olympics even if every four years the competitors were all new as you suggested. In fact, the only time it seems like a big number is when you compare it to something that is even more rare. Compared to other female combat athletes it is pretty close to zero. Compared to other women athletes, it is still pretty close to zero. Compared to women in the world it is almost zero. 72 medals does not necessarily mean 72 medalists, nor does it mean 72 new medalists.
You made a statement as an absolute, when in fact history has shown us that it is not an absolute.
