as someone who is actually somewhat familiar with the MMA athlete mindset, this is completely unfounded.
most high level fighters are less likely to be interested in violence, not more likely. i'm not saying that applies in this case specifically, but your blanket statement covering fighters and violence is absolutely incorrect. her tendencies for domestic abuse have no connection with her MMA experience. yes, the desire to do violence and the desire to do MMA may come from the same place, but one does not cause the other.
all that said, i do need to concede that while male fighters are less likely to be violent than male non-fighters, female fighters are more likely to be violent than female non-fighters.
If she did this to the husband, just imagine what she might do to the child, when they are old enough to have friends over too late.
Well... I think that was probably more because she thought he was cheating on her, which isn't exactly likely with the child. Still though, not exactly a sign of emotional stability.
Last week, my friend was savagely beaten in front of my eyes by his ex girlfriend. Now he's looking at the possibility of having to return their infant daughter to a dangerous environment.
That whole beaten-spouse syndrome is so sad. I had a friend once who tried to convince me she was being hit because she 'didn't follow the house rules' and that made it okay. it's not. I hope this guy gets help. Is there somewhere to follow this story?
I have a friend who grew up in a similar situation, it sounds pretty awful. She eventually put a stop to it (in her case) by making it perfectly clear she would kill her mother if she was beaten again. Eventually her mother left her dad, which gave her some peace. Years later the mother tried to press charges against the dad for abusing her, but the kids found out and showed up in court with promises to testify as to her own behaviour. She dropped the charges immediately.
Im not sure what to say here I've been in a similar situation and I did things pretty radically different from how this guy handled it. I don't think what his spouse did was right at all but I feel like he should have done more to take control of the situation. I'm not saying he was wrong I guess I just don't understand his position as well as I'd like too.
This woman is dangerous. She will do this to a complete stranger if he/she pisses her off. She belongs behind bars. Or maybe get a concealed carry permit and when she hits you GUT SHOOT THE BITCH through the Liver is possible.

I have a huge amount of sympathy for victims of female violence, as it has happened to me. But I agree with you. I'd need to hear the whole story.
if - IF - this is a truthful account, then it should serve as a message to men that you're not being a "man" by letting somebody hurt you. You're being a pussy, as a matter of fact.
edit: I think FriedFood100 is right precisely because this sort of out of context characterization has been used against ME. That shit happens.
Sort: Top

And yet, I bet the court will still award custody to the mother, because somehow giving birth to the child is a prerequisites for being a good parent.
If she did this to the husband, just imagine what she might do to the child, when they are old enough to have friends over too late.
I shudder to think of it. Unless she only beat him because he was a man...

Since she was an MMA fighter, you can easily assume she has no problem hitting women.
[–] Kleyno 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Ah yes, very true.
One would hope she wouldn't hit children like they were an MMA fighter, but if she does that to the father, I ain't holding out any hope.

First bit on the post says she's his ex gf.

You can read the full story on this page. I'm not sure on how to get updates yet.

Is there anything to do to help bring this awareness up ? It breaks my heart that some people can hurt others like this.
