Sorry, SF, but you are absolutely a sexist. You put women on a pedestal and treat them like breakable objects that must be protected. You just think you're a feminist because you don't put women down but instead almost worship them as gods which is just as bad.
No woman is being forced to fight in MMA or boxing. There are female boxers if you didn't know. They struggle to even make a name for themselves in the sport. Hell, No professional sport has been receptive to females, even when they have the skill and strength to compete with the men. To say they're forced to compete is ridiculous. The powers that be would rather have them gone.
Also, You still don't understand a man on the ground is NOT a defenseless man. Royce Gracie could have started a fight laying on his back and still win. If a man is ever defenseless in MMA, The ref will step in and the fight is over.
Heavyweights are not champion of champions. Heavyweights, in my opinion are kind of boring. I personally feel the Middleweights and Light heavyweights make the sport exciting. The first few UFCs didn't have weight classes and Royce Gracie, a smaller fellow beat a few people out of his weightclass.
Finally, About Brock Lesner. As much as I dislike his attitude and feel that his actions after his win again Frank Mir was very unsportsmanlike, you cannot deny his ability to fight. He is EXTREMELY agile for his size. He was a champion (amateur) wrestler and to fight in MMA he had to train 2 years before his first MMA fight. He was already in shape, he was already a champion of another martial art and he still needed 2 years. Guess what 2 years of training got him. A loss against Frank Mir - A man laying on the ground.
