Can mma female fighters slam?

Question

i've been watching some mma fights with women and have not seen any fights where they slam their opponent. are they not allowed to slam or is it because they not strong enough to slam?

it's one of the best techniques and i never see them doing it?

Answer 1

2 things

1) It takes a lot of physical strength to slam your opponent - many females simply don't have the physical strength, but some females do, so it will be rare to begin with.

2) the number of female fighters and fights is very small compared to the number of male fighters/fights.

Slams don't happen in many fights statistically - think of how few you see percentage wise.  You have to be in just the right position, and able to lift your opponent (who is basically your same weight).  PLUS the fact that there are fewer female fights means very rarely will you ever see a female lift her opponent up and slam.  Watch for the really strong female fighters though (Cyborg for example).  I'll bet you'll see her brute-force slam someone before it's all over.

Here's a nasty fight for you though. 2 tough females...and watch how the fight ends.  Egh.
