First verified professional women's MMA fight.

[edit]

This article is clearly lacking in the milestone department. While the Carano-Cyborg bout mentioned in the article is noteworthy, it doesn't go back far enough considering athletes like Megumi Fujii and Marloes Coenen were already fighting as far back as 2004 and 2000 respectively. While earlier fights were certainly not high profile it would still be interesting to find out when the first bouts or events featuring female MMA took place. Obviously this can be open to debate: before unified rules, can you already talk about MMA? Indeed, could you even consider the first UFCs to be MMA? And before that we all know of major combat events in the 20th century like Gene LeBell vs. Milo Savage, Muhammad Ali vs. Antonio Inoki or even Kimura vs. Gracie, which though not pure MMA, acted as stepping stones to the sport it became.

As far as I can tell, Smackgirl, operating under the ReMix banner, held its first event on December 17 2000. ReMix held a milestone event, the World Cup 2000, on December 5 2000. Ladies Legends Pro Wrestling organisation and All Japan Women's Professional Wrestling held events dating back to 1995 and 1996 respectively, but it's not clear this was MMA and not catch wrestling. There were female bouts at M-1 MFC - World Championship (Nov 1 1997) and WVC 9 - World Vale Tudo Championship 9 (Sep 27 1999) among others.

Perhaps the most notable athlete who competed during this time was Svetlana Goundarenko (150 kg) a European champion and Olympic Judoka.

Uzbekistonda ayollar kurashini ommalashtirish va yanada takomillashtirish zarur deb bilaman. Chunki ayni vaqtda ayollarimiz juda kup zuravonliklarga va tajovuzkorliklarga shu urinda kamsitishlarga duch kelmoqdalar. Agarga ayollar sportini rivojlantirsak ayollar huquqini, erkinligini saqlab qolgan bulardik. Men hozir kurash bn shug'ullanmoqchiman va chempionatlarga chiqish niyatim bor ammo hozirda qayerga murojat qilishni bilmayman. Men uylaymanki menga uhshagan ayol va qizlarimiz juda kupchilikni tashkil etadi. Oldin ayollarga sport bn shug'ullanishga taqiqlar kuchli edi, hozirgi kunga kelib esa Prezidentimiz tashabbusi bn ayollar sportiga alohida etibor qaratilmoqda. Endi uni rivojlantirish bizdek kuchli ayollar qulida. Magdalenichka (talk) 12:15, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
