It's 2015 and women's MMA has never been bigger.

With Ronda Rousey and Joanna Jedrzejczyk up there among the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet, most fight fans don't really differentiate between MMA and women's MMA. But UFC veteran and former street fighter Tank Abbott is not convinced by female fighters and believes there's not a woman alive who could beat him in a fight. Not content to just be confident in his abilities, Abbott also made some pretty insensitive comments along the way. "[Rousey] is a girl. It's all about this emotional stuff," Abbott said on the Proving Grounds podcast, "I will fight any woman on this Earth for free. I will! "You can't be a tranny ... you gotta be a female, born a female. "I won't even train. If I win, which is going to happen -- and you're going to get bashed up good -- you have to make me a sandwich. If you win, I'll give you $100,000."
