Curtis Blaydes wants to make one thing perfectly clear: He’s absolutely a fan of women’s MMA.
That opinion was lost in April when UFC heavyweight contender engaged in a back-and-forth with several prominent female athletes. After Blaydes made a social media post regarding fighters who “complain and gripe about being overly sexualized by fans/media but then at the same time many of them are profiting off said sexualization thru media endorsements, high profile placement on fight cards, and overall popularity which leads to many other financial opportunities,” he was called out by vets Pearl Gonzalez and Paige VanZant, whom he named as examples in support of his argument.
