Rijker definitely took the fight to Jadee ever chance she got and was able to land a few kicks with good power and sweep one of Jadee's kicks; she even ate a big left cross and continued to take the fight forward.
Like Mike pointed out, in the second round when they started exchanging in the boxing range, Jadee's power was too much for her and it put her to the mat.

I don't think you can ever truly find an answer to this. I think the only way would be if you pitted the best MT guy in the world against the best MT female in the world.
I think generally, a lot of it comes down to size, weight, experience etc, whatever the gender. I have seen female kickboxers destroy male competitors before. I have been told that there are a lot fewer female MT practitioners than men as well which might affect it |

Yeah, I voted for women on principle, but I think the guy would win generally. Not in every case or anything, there are always kick-ass exceptions, but in the few Guy vs. Gall firght I've seen the woman is just not agressive enough.
Again stressing the "not being sexist" thing, I mean, I AM a girl. It's just the truth. No drama. |

Wow man, the women got raped (Referring to the vote). And yes, yes I do have guts/ball/etc. And no, I do not bother to read the little titles under peoples names, I typically just treat everyone the same. It's my manner of respect. Alot of people don't like it though :P
As for the crap-tastic aerobics kickboxing class, yes it was a mistake. Those things happen time to time, especially when it is your first time. I guess you wouldn't know that though.

...I bet I can change everybodies opinion on this...
give me a bunch of anabolic steroids, the meanest women you can gather, a fully functional gym, and some top-quality trainers...and in 6 months I will have a monster that will butcher a SMALLER man without these afformentioned amenities. Somebody like Marcus Ruhl's wife...Simone.
On another note...I have decided to quit training and find a girl like this to protect me if I ever need it. "Honey...go kill the neighbor, his look offends me." "DA DEAR!!" |

I say the guy wins. I'm trying to find studies I've read that indicate women handle prolonged pain better but men handle blunt trauma better, so that in and of itself... not to even mention muscle mass...
And yeah women whose body fat percentage is too low stop menstruating... that means your bones are in danger of calcium depletion, which probably wouldn't be particularly useful in a fight situation. I do have a collection of links of women beating men in fights so yeah, it is possible... I do think there are some areas women really excel in that take longer for men to learn. Primarily what I've noticed is that women (and smaller men) have to use technique because of their size. I've seen this in Olylifting too. So that's the good news, I guess--if women keep plugging away and getting better technique (etc.), there will come a time when the men who are training wrong and muscling through things will realize that won't work anymore against the same opponents. And on that day, they will be very sad. |

And they're quicker. It's really unfair to compare a women and and man of the same weight. You need the women to out weigh the man by a substantial amount to have the same muscle mass.
