I have to agree that Gina should not be on the first card- and I'll be there! With Kimbo on the card, it will be hard for audiences to discern between legitimate competition and freak show. Under what banner would a women's fight fall to the untrained viewer? Her role in AG only amplifies this potential confusion. Will they call her by her AG nickname? How would NBC feel about that?
With respect to the injury issue, a nasty broken bone or dislocation is horrible to look at regardless of the sex of the athlete. It is our (society's) inherent sexism that gives us pause at seeing a woman's face bleed. But no matter the cause, we must acknowledge the reality that such an event would be a negative for MMA.
