Unpopular opinion: JJ and Holm are overrated.
Yes sure you can see left highkick counter to right lowkick, while moving backward, everytime guys enter octagon.

Tate is the truth.
I think it has something to do with how their bodies are built, it's like they aren't built to throw proper punches and kicks, well besides Cyborg anyways. Besides the natural reasons I bet the male body has developed for combat over the centuries, women were never allowed on the battlefield and basically just did house chores for the longest time.
Don't most of these women train in the same camps as the men?
Why are very few WMMA fighters proficient in boxing/MMA striking?
Do the training camps overemphasize the ground game for women?
Honestly, I think JJ and Holly Holm have excellent striking because of their training and experience before they got into MMA.
So is MMA striking training for WMMA mostly ineffective? Is the only hope to take boxers and kickboxers and convert them into WMMA fighters?
They're girls.
smaller pool to draw from then men..
women normally don't like to take shots to the face (no brazzer)
therefore less coaches
less exposure ..
etc etc etc
Joanna didn't destroy but she's still amazing. So is Val.
Same reason the WNBA is terrible
Joanna J and Holly aren't too shabby.
the real answer is that most of the people in WMMA are women.
most women boxers and kickboxers are also terrible compared to their male counterparts.
The pool of fighters is just way smaller. should be clear for everyone who ever went to a gym.
The talent pool is much smaller than for males. Even so, both champs are more technical than many male fighters.
I know we are never supposed to note the differences between males and females in today's politically correct society but I feel the striking differences comes down to the same principles as baseball vs softball pitching.
In baseball men overhand pitch while in softball women underhand pitch. there is something about male vs female shoulders/clavicals/chest(titties!) that allows men more power and use of their arms.
Plus apparently homo sapiens are the only species to chuck spears and we all know males were the hunters!
I see plenty of MMMA fighters that have terrible striking, but they're ignored/overshadowed because of the good ones.
Not to mention that a lot of MMMA fans simply point out every single woman whose striking they don't feel is up to par with the best ones.
Less coordination. Evolution favored men to fight with more predatory instinct.

They lack the manpower
Not to be a dick or anything but haven't you noticed the difference in skill in all male vs female sports?
I don't see many killers Though and maybe that has to do with t levels
You've got to take the good...The biological answer:
Because the human fist has in part evolved as a weapon, and for most of human history men have been doing the fighting to protect the women and children.
Men's musculature is simply evolved to lift, carry, pull, shove, crush, smash, and pummel.
You've got to take the good...
with the bad...

Because you think I'm a SJW...or because the first two gifs were showing some good striking by women and you didn't expect me to post two subsequent gifs showing bad striking?Hahahaha Jesus Christ. Was expecting some SJW response.

I didn't say she was the truth in striking.Dumb ass.
Holly's striking ain't terrible
