Dana White open to women’s MMA?

By Jim Murphy November 14th, 2008

In the latest episode of ESPN’s MMA Live, Dana White who along with Matt “Barefoot and Pregnant” Hughes have been some of the biggest critics of women’s MMA has suddenly changed his tune. He indicated that he wouldn’t be opposed to promoting a fight between Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg though, if it did happen it would “probably be in the WEC”.

We’re thinking that Dana’s past opposition to women’s MMA had more to do with the fact that the biggest promoter of the sport was his old nemesis, EliteXC. Now that they’re no longer an issue he’s probably down with it if it can make some money. Matt Hughes, of course, just wants a woman to get his (expletive) dinner ready and no woman of his ain’t got no time to be fightin’. If she wants to fight she can “fight” the laundry and the vacuum cleaner…

Here’s the episode with Dana’s interview:
