Women in sports often face silly, sexist stereotypes. Bustle sat down with Holly Holm and Miesha Tate, who broke down the five things female MMA fighters want you to know. The main takeaway? Have an open mind and treat women fighters as equals.
1. We are not a spectacle.
2. Don’t go easy on us because we are women.
3. Open your mind and you might become a fan.
4. Women belong in contact sports too.
5. Don’t comment on female athletes bodies.
