Stick to being a ring girl
Dana White, UFC founder, once claimed that “women will never fight in the UFC”.
For a long time, the only presence women had in the UFC was as a scantily clad ring girl, signalling to the predominantly male audience which round of the fight was next.
Not only do women fight now, but they also dominate the organisation. The likes of Ronda Rousey, Chris Cyborg, Amanda Nunes and Xiong Jing Nan have ruled the UFC. They have paved the way for other female fighters to be included in the main rosters alongside the male fighters and in some cases be the main event.
However, whilst women are now better respected in their field, seemingly the media does not view them in the same way. When male UFC athletes are portrayed, they appear as professional athletes (good at their sport and superior as athletes). For example, a search of male UFC fighters in the media reviews, a recent news story that describes the athletes as ‘dominant’ and ‘superstars’ who have had ‘more success than anybody else’ in the business. The news story is in admiration of the male athletes sporting prowess.
In contrast, when a search is made of female fighters in the UFC the first title lists MMA fighters by ‘weight class and height’. This example illustrates how female fighters are subject to objectification and how their sporting prowess is often overlooked due to the magnification on their looks and body.
Women are commonly subject to objectification in the media; however, female athletes may have different perspectives on how they are presented. For example while some are opposed to female UFC bodies being exploited, potentially for the sake of the male audience, other female athletes such as Ronda Rousey, have a contrary perspective. When talking about showing off her body in the media, said:
“If I can represent that body type of women that isn’t represented so much in the media, then I’d be happy to do that. When women say that going on publications directed at men is somehow demeaning, I don’t think that’s true. I think that’s on really effective way to change the societal standards women are held to.”
This suggests there may be a positive dimension to female UFC fighters’ bodies being displayed in the media as this can promote different body types to the wider population. Most females shown in high end fashion and other media, such as health magazines typically have one body type that is then idealised for women and by women. This link talks about the body types shown in the majority of the media and the effects that it can have on women, such as, developing eating disorders because they feel as though they should look like the unrealistic body standards shown in the media. Presenting females as athletic and muscular can be positive for the confidence of other women who may not have the typical, idealised body shown in the majority of the media.
As someone who practices martial arts, I have struggled with my body looking more muscular and not feeling as petite as some of my female friends. Representation of strong female fighters in the media personally makes me feel empowered. It is good to celebrate UFC fighters in the media, but the focus shouldn’t solely be on their bodies but also on their success as an athlete. When female bodies are represented in the media it should not be for the gratification of a male audience.
So, this leaves the question of, should we embrace female UFC fighters’ bodies being shown off in the media as this can empower the wider community? Or is there too much opportunity for female UFC fighters sporting prowess to be overlooked due to the focus on their figures?

UFC Fight Night - Song vs. Gutierrez - 12/9/2023
Song Yadong continues his rise through the Bantamweight rankings.
Prelims
Talita Alencar def. Rayanne dos Santos
Strawweights face off against each other, with the undefeated Talita Alencar winning a split decision against Rayanne dos Santos. Talita is known for being a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world champion and drawing with Stephanie Luciano in September on Dana White's Contender Series.
The fight was overall decent, with both women having their moments.
Tatsuro Taira def. Carlos Hernandez
After a disputed victory at UFC 290, Taira gained a TKO victory over Carlos Hernandez. I've been following Taira's career since I first heard he was on the Blachowicz vs. Rakić card in May of last year after a friend of mine looked through the undercard. Taira instantly grew on me, and I have been watching his career ever since.
Taira won 55 seconds in the 2nd round, after a dominant first round where he showed off some of his world class grappling. After the fight, he called out Muhammad Mokaev, who is scheduled to fight Alex Perez in March.
Luana Santos def. Stephanie Egger
This fight mostly consisted of clinching and strikes against the cage, but Santos ended up winning by Unanimous Decision.
Steve Garcia Melquizael Costa
Costa is a very interesting fighter to me. He was 1-1 going in to this fight, but his fights are fun to watch and he is a great fighter. He debuted in the UFC on the Brazil card in January.
The first round had Costa battling for back control, and Garcia doing his best to neutralize Costa's grappling with defense, which costed Garcia the round. However, in the second round, Garcia brutally knocked out Costa in an extremely bloody finish.
Park Hyun-sung Shannon Ross
The second Flyweight fight on this card ended up impressing me.
Park competed in the Road to UFC developmental series to sign the best talent in Asia, and won his UFC debut in February. Meanwhile, Ross has lost his DWCS appearance and his first 2 UFC appearances.
The first round was a competitive striking affair, with both men landing impressive shots and Park hurting Ross pretty badly, with the round ended on the ground. Park threatened submission after submission, taking the round.
The second round kicked off with Park hurting Ross pretty badly on the feet, to which Ross recovered to pretty well. However, Park was able to win via TKO. Really gutted for Shannon Ross, but this is an incredible victory for Hyun-sung.
Song Kenan Kevin Jousset
I really like seeing Song Kenan fight. I know Kenan for fighting Israel Adesanya earlier in his career and fighting Ian Garry at UFC 285. I do not know much of Kevin Jousset, but he won his UFC debut at UFC 293. More and more French prospects are being seen in the UFC, and I'm here for it.
For the first round, Jousset got the better of Kenan in the exchanges, which were mostly distance striking exchanges. Coming in to the second, Kenan wore more damage than Jousset and was able to put good pressure on Jousset, winning the second round on my scorecard. For the 3rd round, these guys gave it their all and fought to the very last. This fight delivered, with the victory going to Kevin Jousset.
Main Card
André Muniz def. Park Jun-yong
The Iron Turtle Jun-yong Park faces off against former #15 ranked contender André Muniz. Muniz won by a split decision victory. Very good back and forth, and Park had his moments. The only round that the judges came to a united conclusion on was the second round.
Tim Elliott def. Su Mudaerji
UFC Flyweight staple Tim Elliott won this fight via Submission in the first round. This was Su Mudaerji's first fight since his loss to Matt Schnell in a Fight of the Night on July of last year. Tim Elliott elevates his win streak to 2.
Nasrat Haqparast def. Jamie Mullarkey
These two fighters have spent a small amount of time in the UFC, and have already secured a main card spot. Nasrat knocked Jamie out in the first round.
Khalil Rountree Jr. def. Anthony Smith
Stepping in on short notice, former title challenger Anthony Smith takes on the aggressive and ruthless striker Khalil Rountree Jr. Khalil won the fight by knockout in vicious fashion in the 3rd round.
Song Yadong Chris Gutiérrez
Newcomer to the rankings, Chris Gutiérrez faces off with Song Yadong in the main event. 5 rounds of nonstop Bantamweight action. Song and Chris are both known for being exciting fighters to watch.
The first round was a showcase of how dominant Song can be when he's fresh in the fight, outpacing and outworking Chris. As the second round rolled around, he continued pressing Chris on the feet. Chris accidentally poked Song in the eye during this round and grabbed his glove during grappling later in the round.
At this point, Song is up two rounds on my scorecard. In rolls the third round, Song comes blazing in the first 30 seconds and slightly rocks Chris before poking him in the eye. The super high level and intense fights seem to have more fouls than lower level fights some times.
Literally swinging for the fences, Song pieced Chris up on the feet. Chris, on the other hand, had sneaky punches that seemed to have little effect on Song. Song scored a takedown in the final seconds, then they were sent back to their corners. Song has already won this fight if it goes to a decision.
The fourth round kicked off with a high pace, both men swinging at each other with full force. Song scores a takedown, and for a moment it seems like Chris was going for a triangle choke from bottom position, but Song quickly readjusted and continued to damage Chris from top position. Song succeeded in exhausting Chris and slowly wearing Chris down.
Some shots landed to the back of Chris' head, but referee Herb Dean decided to not step in and pause the action. Song is winning this fight, and Chris needs a finish.
As round five opens up, Chris makes a big mistake trying to take down Song, as he immediately ends up on bottom position gets controlled, essentially sabotaging himself and allowing Song to beat him 50-45.
This was not a competitive fight, and I'm curious as to why Chris would accept such a high ranked opponent at #15. Song continues to rack up impressive wins, adding Gutiérrez to a list alongside Ricky Simón, Chito Vera, and Marlon Moraes.
Final Rating
8/10
Watching this from beginning to end, I came out really satisfied. My favorite finishes were Nasrat Haqparast, Khalil Rountree, and Tatsuro Taira.
The prelims were solid for the most part, with a few fights being boring to me and not very fun to watch.
The main card was the best fight night main card I've seen live in a while, with the highlights being the co-main and main event.
I am really gutted for Song for not being able to perform in his home country of China. Dana White cited an emergency in China as the reason for the event's move back to Vegas.
