The disease sweeping the West

Follow @KnightsTempOrgHailing from the city of Kiselyovsk, Nirkova is a Russian amateur MMA and multiple hand-to-hand combat champion. RT recently interviewed her and asked her:
“Recently UFC featherweight and bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo recently called out female UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko for a fight to become ‘intergender champion’. What do you make of that?”
“I think it’s stupidity, because men are stronger than women in any case. How unprepared she would be! A woman is a woman.”
RT: “An ‘intergender champion’ – it sounds a little strange and even funny. Do you think that’s fair? What would you have said if you were in Shevchenko’s position?”
“I don’t welcome it. If I was in her position I would organize a sparring session as a promotion tool, for that purpose maybe. But I would definitely not agree to a fight. For me, everyone has their place, men with men, women with women. It at the very least would not be very aesthetically pleasing.”
We think she’s a knock-out!
