In any case, I think that while it's up the deciding body to decide, I believe that men and women's leagues should remain completely seperate, if only for the mental side of the game. Also, has anyone noticed NOBODY arguing for a male/female mixed boxing league or combat sports? It's because they don't want a 200 pound man basically beating the living snot of a woman. There are biological differences people, it's black and white.
Now that is something i'm not so sure about. Put a male of the same weight in a ring with Lucia Rijker, to name one, and he'll have one hell of a time to stay on his feet. I've seen some damn good female fighters on TV and on some events i visited, and you don't want to get fresh with any of em.
