Ma mua o kēia mahina, ua lanakila ʻo Nicco Montano iā Roxanne Modafferi ma ka hōʻike TV a UFC, ʻO ka mea hakakā hope loa. Me ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻaelike ʻeono huahelu me ka hui, ua lālau pū ka wahine he 28 mau makahiki i ka inoa o ka wahine ma ka māhele wīkana wahine. Ua hoʻonohonohoʻia kēia māhele kaumaha hou e wehe i nā puka he nui no nā wāhine i ka MMA i koiʻia e lilo i ka kaumaha nui i mea e hakakā ai ma kahi māhele e hāʻawi iā lākou i ka maikaʻi loa.

A hiki i kēia manawa, ua ʻae wale ka UFC i nā wahine e hakakā i ʻehā mau ʻāpana kaumaha like ʻole, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ʻewalu no nā kāne. ʻO ka mea mua ka wīwī kahi pono nā paona he 115 mau paona i ka wā o nā paona. A ukali ʻia e ka bantamweight, lele i ka 135 mau paona, a laila kaupaona ma 145 paona. Ma muli o ka lele nui ʻana o ka 20-pauna ma waena o nā papa strawweight a me bantamweight, ua ʻōlelo nui kekahi mau wahine o ka UFC e hoʻohui i kekahi mahele ma waena.

"He nui ka lele ma waena o 115 a me 135 paona, ʻoiai inā hāʻule maoli ʻoe i 125, ka mea i hana ʻia e nā wahine he nui o ka UFC," wahi a Montano. Kinohi. "ʻO ia ke kumu i loaʻa ʻole ai kahi ala 'olakino' e hana ai i ka strawweight a i ʻole bantamweight, akā ua hana nō nā wahine ma muli o ko lākou aloha i ka haʻuki a no ka mea makemake lākou e hakakā."

"ʻAʻole kūlohelohe nā wahine i ʻelua a i hoʻokahi mahele kaumaha paha, no laila no nā makahiki he nui e hoʻāʻo nei lākou e hana i kēia haʻuki ma o ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ana nui." Kinohi. "ʻO ka nui o nā papa kaumaha āu e hoʻohui ai, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau i ka ʻoki paona maikaʻi ʻole a me nā pōmaikaʻi a me nā hemahema, a ʻo ka hopena, ʻo ia ka pahuhopu." (Mai haʻalele i ka hakakā ʻana i kēia mau wahine-eia ke kumu e hoʻāʻo ai ʻoe iā MMA iā ʻoe iho.)

Ke hakakā nei nā wahine he nui i ka UFC ma mua o ka manawa ma mua, no laila he mea kūpono e hoʻolauna i kahi mahele kaumaha hou e ʻae iā lākou e hoʻokūkū ma nā pae hou aku. "Ke hoʻohui ʻoe i kahi mahele kaumaha hou, hoʻāʻo ka poʻe āpau e ʻoki, ʻo ia kahi ʻāpana o ka haʻuki. E hana mau ana nā mea hakakā i mea e loaʻa ai iā lākou kahi pōmaikaʻi," ʻo Dana White, ka mea hoʻokumu a me ka Pelekikena o ka UFC i haʻi Kinohi. "Akā, maopopo ka ulu ʻana o ka haʻuki no nā wahine a he nui nā mea hoʻokūkū akamai i hoʻōho no ka māhele 125-paona, no laila ua manaʻo wau ua hiki i ka manawa."

ʻO ka hope loa, e hoʻomau ka nui o nā mea hakakā e ʻoki i ke kaumaha inā e hoʻokomo iā lākou i kahi kūlana maikaʻi aʻe e lanakila ai. E lawe iā Sijara Eubanks. Ua hoʻonohonoho maoli ʻia ka 32 makahiki e lilo iā Montano ma kahi o Modafferi i ka hopena hope loa o ʻO ka mea hakakā hope loa akā ua huki ʻia mai ka hakakā ʻana i ka minuke hope loa. ʻO ke kumu o kona hoʻoneʻe koke ʻia ʻana, ʻo ia ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e ʻoki i ke kaumaha i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ia i ka maʻi kīkī a hoʻopaʻa iā ia i ka haukapila. ʻOiai ka makaʻu olakino, ʻo Eubanks, ka mea ma kahi o 140 mau paona, ke hoʻolālā nei e hoʻomau i ka hoʻokūkū i ka mahele 125-paona no ka mea ke manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ia ma laila kahi e loaʻa ai ka pōmaikaʻi nui loa.

ʻOiai ʻo Eubanks e lilo i ʻelima mau paona a hakakā i ka bantamweight (135) a i ʻole e loaʻa he ʻelima mau paona a hoʻokūkū ma ke ʻano he featherweight (145), koho ʻo ia e hakakā i ka mahele lele (125). "He nui kaʻu mau loea ma koʻu kihi e nānā i koʻu kiʻekiʻe a me koʻu kino a ʻōlelo ʻo ia, 'ʻAe, loaʻa iā ʻoe ke kiʻi e hele ai i ka haʻahaʻa '40s ma ke ʻano olakino a hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻoki i ka 125 i ke olakino olakino. ala, '" Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Eubanks ma kahi paʻi hou o ʻO ka hola MMA. "No laila inā hiki i koʻu kino ke hele kino i ka flyweight me ka hana ʻole o ka hōʻino i koʻu olakino, a laila, he paona lele wau."

I ka hopena o ka lā, ʻo ka ʻoki paona kekahi hapa nui o ka MMA no nā kāne a me nā wahine. A ʻoiai ke kau nei lākou i nā pilikia olakino koʻikoʻi me ka nānā ʻole (hiki iā Joanna Jędrzejczyk ke kamaʻilio me kēlā) ʻo ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kahi āpau paona 10-paona he mea maʻalahi loa (a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi) ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻokomo a wehe paha i 20 paona.
