lol. I get the feeling some of you are more so shock that I said a woman can compete in a fight when I clearly broke down their skills and attributes to as my reasoning. It really has nothing to do with Gender. I think Tyron Woodley could beat some of these heavyweights including Cormier.

But If I'm wrong and it's not about gender with some of you then please name the female fighters any of you think can compete against one of the male fighters. But if it's solely based on gender then okay let's stop right there and stop derailing the thread. lol.

You never answered my question. Have you ever been in a fight?

Everything is a matter of degrees when it comes to our ability to suspend disbelief. We know that action stars have realistic limits in real life, but what is more unrealistic, Bruce Lee defeating ten skilled men or Lucy Liu defeating ten skilled men?

One of the things I've always noticed in tv-shows movies and video games is how irrelevant muscles are for men and women, because even though in real life it's the size and density of males musculature that is responsible for the strength gap between the genders, no such correlation exists in the worlds crafted by the entertainment industry. In those worlds, 110lb Waif-Fu masters are just as strong as 260lb brutes.

Don’t forget bone density

Just realized that was Ellen Page. Now I miss Kitty. lol.

Kitty Pryde was one of my favorite characters in the X-Men flicks. Even the Terrible Days Of Future Past.

I agree to that, but that also goes to anybody regardless of gender that is just smaller. You could be 6,6 300 lbs and there will always be somebody bigger. Women are more than likely smaller than men, very few times you get women the size of let's say that wrestler Nia Jax(6,2 270 lbs.) or that basketball player Brittney Griner(6,8 205 lbs.) But they exist.

I think they want us at times to believe those 5 to 10 men that get beat up by one man are less skilled than the the guy, because there are videos out there of guys taking on multiple people in real fights like that MMA fighter in a bar brawl that was just knocking people out left and right. They don't be around 10 guys, but they do hold there own against multiple people. Also notice that those guys in those Bruce Lee movies be scared of him attacking him one at a time and shit. lol.


BTW, Brie Larson says meet her outside. LOL!

How trained were you and how trained were they? How old were you and how many fights have you been in over the age of 18? For science.

Awe, man I couldn't tell you about training. lol. It's been so long since the last fight I was in that DIDN'T get broke up before it started. It had to be like 18 years ago.

All I could tell you that it wasn't a professional fight it was street fight. After a few punches we were throwing at each other the guy seemed quicker than me because he was able to scoop in and get a double leg takedown but that could've been just good timing, I was stronger than him because I was able to roll him over and get on top but that could've been just bad positioning on his behalf or good positioning on mine. The fight got broke up after like I don't know a couple hits I got in after I rolled him over.

I estimate probably a little over 10 fights I been in over the age of 18. I don't be around a lot of shit starters nor do I start shit. The people I hang around are usually verbal fighters trying not to go to jail or have things escalate to that level.

OK, that explains it. There is a stark contrast between what you can do in the streets or in actual combat vs what you can do in the ring. When I first started my MMA studies it was a rather difficult transition. The rules involved keep you from being able to do "that one fucked up thing that allows you to get the upper hand". So, I understand where you are coming from. In a street fight with potential objects (sharp or blunt), skill and fast hands can do some serious damage. In the ring/octagon with gloves, rules, a ref, a crowd screaming at you, and the person is as trained as you... not so much. I understand where you are coming from, but still disagree. Thanks for the information.
 
Watching this week's episode of "Black Lightning" (Season 2, Episode 13). That Markovia/Metahumans/Dr. Jace storyline from the new season 3 of "Young Justice" is a major storyline on this season of BL too.

She was totally the wrong person for this role. I simply don't buy it. She's far too old

To each it's own I bought it. I think it will be good if it plays out like a horror-comedy as it is in the trailer.

Octavia is great actress. I liked her in Hidden Figures and The Shape Of Water. It's about time she got her own leading role.

Just started watching Young Justice and ever since the show left Cartoon Network the creators were able to explore more which is mindblowing.
