Bas Rutten explains Ludwig’s issues with WMMA: ‘He thinks it’s unnatural’
Former UFC heavyweight champion Bas Rutten explained Duane Ludwig’s perspective on women’s mixed martial arts.
With no UFC event this past weekend, much of the media's focus has been on the recent fallout between Urijah Faber and former Team Alpha Male head coach Duane Ludwig. Faber, who opened up on his experiences with Ludwig, let it be known that the renowned coach was never interested in coaching female fighters.
According to former UFC heavyweight champion Bas Rutten, Ludwig's perspective was not a slight on female fighters' technique, but rather an emphasis on how he felt about women getting punched in the face.
