I find myself more excited for the Strikeforce card this Saturday than I do for UFC on FX 2 on Friday, mostly for the main event featuring two of the best female fighters in the world. Bantamweight champ Meisha Tate squares off against undefeated but largely untested Ronda Rousey for the title. Now not only are both girls on the attractive side but they both can open a can of whoop ass too. I saw Tate win the title from Marloes Coenen and she put in a helluva performance and Rousey has been nothing but impressive in her climb to #1 contender status. Plus both girls hate each other so it should make for an entertaining fight. Female MMA is just as fun to watch as male MMA when the fighters are of the caliber of Tate, Rousey, Coenen and candidate for the most perfect female on the planet Gina Carano...but the problem is that there are not enough talented female MMA fighters to make up a couple of divisions and make it worthwhile. This is why Dana White is against bringing in girls MMA into UFC. Here's hoping more up and coming young female fighters make their way to Strikeforce to prove to White and the UFC that female MMA is growing and worth taking a gamble on. Keep and eye out for Amanda Lucas, daughter of Star Wars ruiner Geroge Lucas. She currently has a professional record of 4-1 and just recently won the DEEP Openweight Women's Championship in Tokyo, Japan. Plus, her walk out music is the Imperial March...how awesome is that!
