Right now, female MMA has never been bigger with the upcoming fight between pioneer Gina Carano and Chute Boxe fighter Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos looming on the horizon. But with no other huge female fights in the foreseeable future, what will happen to female MMA after the fight? Is female MMA a passing fad or will it continue to grow? Let us know your thoughts!

if they give us the same energy

i believe they will do ok and will do even better if they would put as much effort and energy into their training and skills as marketing.

Will Grow Slowly

There will be a downward turn after this fight in terms of popularity. But there are a lot of women, particularly in Japan, that could come over and make a go at this. So once Strikeforce taps that market things should jump up again.
