We have a real-life untrained man vs woman match up about to go down, and the world is abuzz over it.
Taking to social media, a man named Kristopher Zylinski may have bit off more than he can chew, and now he’ll have to back up his words, espite never training in Martial Arts.
That’s because, after a Twitter-rant gone wrong, the guy put out a series of posts, stating that no woman, despite how well trained, can beat a man in the cage.
It’s a real life battle of the sexes, and one promoter decided to make a real fight happen. So MMA fighting female Anna Dempster has agreed to prove the man wrong.
Jiu Jitsu times spoke with Anna on the matchup:
“I took the fight because I am not one to ever back down, but even more than that, the bigotry in that twerp’s statements disgusted me. It is like he time traveled way back in time, relishing in the oppression of women. I firmly believe in empowering women, and anyone that tries to go against that repulses me. I want to not only prove him wrong, but everyone out there with the same opinion.”
Unlike her opponent, Dempster knows that her gender has no bearing on her chances of winning this match. “I train with men constantly and there is no differentiation — we are all fighters when we step on the mat or in the cage, not differentiated by gender. We are fighters, warriors, and killers. That’s it.”
If it weren’t obvious already, this fighter isn’t remotely nervous about her upcoming bout. In fact, she’s very much looking forward to it. “I am excited for the opportunity to shut this f***er up and feed him my fists. I am excited for the opportunity to prove him wrong, and maybe even change his view of this sport and women in the sport, and honestly women in general… I feel very confident in my ability to destroy him.”
Here’s Zylinski’s remarks and the promoter who’s agreed to put on the man vs woman fight:
