Who was the female fighter that dumped her boyfriend... (2024)

This Nakamoto woman looks scarily like Sam Quek the English Olympic hockey player...

OG making a proper response.

Say Hi to inspector Lewis.

Just sounds like self sabotage. She didn't want to be in a relationship and just wanted to make any excuse. Probably got some unresolved self worth issues.

Could be that.

Or she thought her "tough fighter BF" looked like a puss*.

The guy was probably a Redditor who claimed to be a Sherdogger.

After seeing him get his ass beat and probably tap to strikes or something (as if that would ever happen to a real Sherbro) she felt cheated and wanted the real thing.

Understandable reaction really.

Watching the man who's suppose to be your protector get battered senseless by another man? In a past era your man would die in battle and that would be that, but fighting is the only sport where we simulate real life and death situations, then clean the fighters up and expect everything to be okay. That sh*t will wreck havoc on modern relationships, no matter how you slice it.

Probably over 99% of all men who have fought in competition have a "loss", even if it's because they tapped during training. I guess these guys aren't man enough to keep a woman. Women can only truly find the alpha males who don't lose among the population who does not compete.

Wow, retarded logic there. Honestly I think only the most brain dead of women would be seriously affected in the way you say. Now seeing her man get pummeled by a fat average joe (non fighter)... maybe.

Except maybe the guy who lost would have been better at weapons skills so would have killed the other guy in armed combat.

Or maybe he would be smarter as well so outwits him in life and better at making social tribe decisions.

While it's not a good look to lose an mma fight in front of your girl there are lots of other variables at play.

Would say Dee should get rid of Conor after the way he was getting pummeled and tapped by Khabib or him getting KTFO! to Dustin Poirier? Or should Poirier wife have left him after the way he tapped to Khabib? A decent woman stays with his man trhough thick and thin.

This. Imagine being such a bitch that you leave the man you supposedly love because he instinctively put his hands up in a professional fight rather than "take that sh*t" and purposely get brain damage. She seems like an unstable wreck that needs the top alpha as some sort of trophy to validate her status in life.

That dude dodged a bullet.

I know precisely zero women that would dump a man they love because he lost a fight. Especially if that guy is a professional fighter.

There's alot of braindead people out there, this happens way more than fighters like to admit(relationship issues after a loss). There's a difference between tapping in a training session, and getting put out by another man in front of the world.

I think Miriam was just being honest, most women might not wanna say it out loud. This problem is exacerbated when the female is also a trained fighter, there's many cases of this in current MMA. Yana Kunitskaya and Thiago Santos have become a thing, pretty cool if you ask me. But what will happen if he gets put out by Rakic in brutal fashion? One thing is for sure, Yana is a trained figher and she'll be watching the contest closely. There's something undeniable and intrinsic about the admiration we have for our partners, but that admiration is almost never tested in combat like the fight game. You'd think the fighter would be admired for even fighting on the world stage, but there's a different level of scrutiny if you get beaten down, or the woman is trained and has her own perception of events.

Miriam was describing a fighter who showed lack of heart or cowered away from punches, like the fact the guy was a fighter in the first place means nothing. So it's always up to the interpretation of said woman, but it's clearly not based in reality or fairness.

Time will tell, I've seen it personally. Now maybe you can say the people who would do this are terrible people and sh*t partners, but I think it's a little more complex than that. Maybe this is just too depressing lol

"Just being honest" is such a cop out for being a sh*tty person. She's definitely being honest, but she's just being honest about being a complete psycho. I have a hard time believing that it's normal for a woman to leave their partner because she watched him lose a fight. That's an unattainable standard. Too bad there are no women on Sherdog to give their input.

Never said any of that, but there is something intrinsic about the man being the protector.

There is a psychological effect of seeing your provider or protector "conquered" or in a state of weakness. To what extent that plays into the action said female takes, that's up to that specific person.

This isn't dumb, it's a real thing. Doesn't mean your partner is gonna leave you, but there is a psychological component to this that goes beyond just a cage fight. Most people have no idea what fighters go through after a loss(or a win in some cases). Being stuck on the couch, hardly able to move sometimes. Soreness and facial damage through the roof, headaches, fatigue, it's not just the act of losing itself. The following weeks and sometimes months of recovery play a factor too.

This is something I've noticed, doesn't mean everyone has a gf or wife that's gonna up and leave them.

Obv there are primal instincts there, but that is such a far cry from that JRE interview where she legit broke up because of it.
