UFC strawweight contender Virna Jandiroba wasn’t pleased to hear the less than positive take on women’s MMA from a fellow fighter.

Jandiroba recorded her biggest win to date in this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night main event at the Apex, submitting former title challenger Amanda Lemos to stake her claim for a first title shot.

The finish came by way of a gruesome armbar submission and marked Jandiroba’s fourth straight triumph inside the Octagon. She was widely praised in the aftermath of the impressive performance, but one peer who likely wasn’t watching is lightweight Loik Radzhabov.

“The Tajik Tank,” who was defeated on the preliminary card of Jandiroba’s main event, made some negative remarks about the women’s side of mixed martial arts last week, branding it a “break” to go to the bathroom during cards.

“Well, I don’t watch it, no matter who is fighting,” Radzhabov told Red Corner MMA. “Actually, when women fight, I take a break to get some snacks or go to the toilet.”

Jandiroba Tells Radzhabov To Get Help To ‘Overcome Issues’

During her post-fight press conference on Saturday night, Jandiroba reflected on her first headline victory in the UFC and reacted to Radzhabov’s comments about her and other women competing in MMA’s premier promotion.

In a brief response to the remarks, the Brazilian strawweight suggested Razhabov has “issues” that only a specialist would be able to solve.

“I’m not someone that is going to be able to help him, but maybe he needs to go get some analysis. You know, find a therapist that is going to help him overcome those issues that he has. There is probably something there that he needs to sort out and he is going to have to find a specialist to do it.”

Having fallen to 2-2 in the UFC courtesy of a decision setback at the hands of Trey Ogden on July 20, Radzhabov will hope to bounce back next time out to avoid a losing record inside the Octagon.

Jandiroba, meanwhile, appears to have her sights set on UFC gold following her win over a fellow Brazilian strawweight in Lemos. And “Carcara” is expecting her “weirdness” to provide a unique challenge for champion Zhang Weili.

UFC standout Loik Radzhabov would rather ‘get some snacks or go to the toilet’ than watch women fight

Loik Radzhabov is not a fan of women’s MMA.

The 18-5-1 standout from Tajikistan made his Octagon debut last year at UFC 285 and earned a unanimous decision over Esteban Ribovics. This Saturday night, he’ll look to add another big win to his resume when he meets Trey Ogden at a Fight Night event in Las Vegas.

Just don’t expect him to stick around for the main event.

“Well, I don’t watch it no matter who’s fighting,” Radzhabov responded when asked about the July 20 headliner between Amanda Lemos and Virna Jandiroba. “When women fight, I take a break to get some snacks or go to the toilet.”

Pretty interesting talk for a fighter with a 4-4-1 record under the PFL banner and a second-round knockout loss against Mateusz R?becki on MMA’s biggest stage.

Loik Radzhabov isn’t the first fighter to disparage women’s mMA

It’s certainly not the first time a fighter has expressed their disdain for the inclusion of women in the sport. During a Q&A session, former lightweight world champion Khabib Nurmagomedov encouraged aspiring female fighters to “be a fighter inside your home” and to “finish your husband” instead of pursuing a career in the cage.

And don’t even get ‘The Eagle’ started on ring card girls.

Though his comments were undeniably disgusting, they’re not all that surprising considering Nurmagomedov hails from Russia, a country with a long history of treating women like property rather than as individuals.

Of course, critical comments about women’s MMA are not exclusive to foreign fighters. Last year, Sean Strickland found himself beefing with much of the female roster after he declared that “women’s MMA is lame” during a brief, but intense rivalry with Paige VanZant.

Valentina Shevchenko was quick to put ‘Tarzan’ in his place.
