Fedor Emelianenko Makes Sexist Comments About Ronda Rousey?

During a recent Q&A session with fans and media members in the North Caucasus explained why he wasn’t impressed with UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey’s striking during her 34-second knockout victory of the previously unbeaten Bethe Correia at UFC 190 this past Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

According to “The Last Emporer,” there is one specific part of Rousey’s striking approach that he does not advocate, “especially for women.”

“To date, [Rousey] stands out as number one in the world rankings,” Fedor said during the Q&A, recapped by BloodyElbow.com. “But I do not like that she misses a lot of punches, which leads to painful reception. I do not advocate such tactics, especially for women.”

Fedor has had a recent history of being blatantly obvious regarding his distaste for women competing in the “man’s sport” of mixed-martial-arts, however despite the fact that he was addressing the performance of a women’s MMA bout in his answer, most fans are beginning to add it to the growing list of misogynist comments made by “The Last Emporer,” particularly due to his “especially for women” capper.
