In the article "Should Punches to the Chest be Illegal in female MMA fights?" by Eric Holden, Some women think chest punches should be illegal and some woman think they should be legal. Female MMA fighters risk damaging their sternum and their breast tissue when they get punched hard in the chest. However the fighters, opinion about the issue is varied.
Auttumn Norton thinks punches to the "chestto" should be banned because she got "punched so hard in the chest during a resent training session that injured her sternum." If Norton had been wearing protection she wouldn't have gotten injured.
Kentucky WMMA fighter Gina Begley "thinks chest shots should only be illegal if they are done one purpose." I agree with her because when you try to hurt someone that is just bad sportsmanship.
On the other hand Heather Clark, Bellator and XFC vet says that she "sometimes wears a turtle bra for MMA fights" because " it has hard plastic cups in it." Obviously woman fighters know its important to protect there chest. Women who don't wear protection know they are taking their own risk of getting injured .
Most competitive sports use protective gear. Football players wear helmets and pads. Soccer players wear shin guards. Volleyball players wear knee pads. When I play soccer, I make sure I use my protection.
To sum up, chest punches for female MMA fighters should not be banned. Fighters should wear protection like other woman do in competitive sports. If they do not and get hurts its is there fault.

Current Connection 3.1
In the article "Women's groups, lawmakers say MMA promotes a culture of violence" by Jessica String, Lawmaker's and women's advocacy oppose a bill that would allow mixed martial arts fighting events in New York State. They believe that MMA promotes "violent behavior" and victimizes woman
In the article assembly woman Ellen Jaffee says "cage has no place in a civilized society because it harms the fighters who risk their life's". I have watched MMA fights. It is pretty bad because it ruins your face.It leaves it swollen and bruised up. A fighter can be seriously injured because he or she receives brutal hits in the face or any other part of the body with knees or elbows. Senator Liz Krueger say that "It's almost a model of supported free for all violence." MMA is probably not a model sport for children especially young boys.
Another concern about MMA is the glorification of distorted masculinity that victimized women. Quinton Rampage Jackson mad a video in which he " jokingly pretends to attempt to rape a women with chloroform and zip ties." Zenaida Mendez, president of the national Organization for women said "they go out there and think that it's okay to violate women, it's okay to physical assault women, it's okay to rape women." Men have to respect women. The behavior described by Mendez is criminal. A sport that promotes violence and criminal behavior should be looked out carefully before it is supported as a professional event.
However Steven Green berg form Green burg Public Relation's said "fighters are not the only professional athletes who have been less than a role model". He uses football players, Hollywood entertainers as his examples. What Green burg says is true. Almost every professional sport has players who break laws.
MMA makes a connection with the world. There are people who are dedicate their time to do MMA fighting such as women and men. Also people enjoy watching MMA fighting while they bet on fighters. My friend Oscar Valdez is devoted to MMA fighting and keeps working up to become a professional fighter , which he is being successful at it.
Therefore MMA creates concern about the violence that is part of the sport.That violence is part of its appeal.If this sport is going to receive creditably rules and regulations should be made strictly followed.
