Rousey agrees with Tate on GSP's "ignorance" towards WMMA

Earlier this week we featured a quote from female fighting stand out Miesha Tate. In the quote she responds to comments made by UFC welterweight champion, Georges St-Pierre, and his views on women’s MMA.

Here is what she said:

“I think the problem with GSP’s view about WMMA is that he doesn’t have one. If he hasn’t ever watched us women fight then he can’t say how he really feels about it because he’s ignorant.

Being old fashioned is fine, but us “modern day” girls aren’t asking for your protection, we are asking for your acceptance and we are fighting for equality.

If everyone felt about MMA as GSP thinks he feels about WMMA, then he wouldn’t have a job.

I’m hoping George St. Pierre can open his mind a little bit and actually watch some women’s fights. We’re coming to the UFC for a reason and it would be nice to have one of my all-time favorite fighter’s full support.

It won’t take long for him to realize we aren’t these fragile little creatures when we enter the cage, we are warriors and every bit as deserving of respect as the men.”

Now, the star of WMMA and the lady to dethrone Tate off her Strikeforce throne, Ronda Rousey, took to twitter to respond:

yes i know, this is about ronda agreeing with tate.

EDIT: my bad Sak, didnt even realize you had put that at the end of the tate thread. Thanks for the heads up

My guess is GSP talked to both of them for a total of 20 seconds, banged both of em, and never acknowledged either ever again.

Its pretty gentlemanly for a guy to say he doesn't like watching girls fight, but the .0001% of females on the planet that are in MMA I guess what he said is super offensive?

"Hey girls lets criticize the most popular fighter in the world to try and grab some attention! Yay! We're relevant!"

So a Diaz disciple doesn't like something Gsp said? Woah breaking news.

GSP to rousey/tate: Where's my sandwich?

Well you know what they say about opinions right? Everyone involved is both right and wrong, and I don't think any of them mad asses of themselves. I agree with gsp but understand why te ladies would take offense. Can't please everyone all the time.
