I know this is a little off topic, but with regard to the comment that dan made above regarding women becoming sexually aroused during a bout, I would think that was down to the general excitement, adrenalin, crowd adulation etc. However I am certainly no expert in how a womens mind works.

I am no expert there either. I was just repeating what two people had told me. (which of course is still no excuse for repeating it) As for your adrenaline hypothesis, I didn't ask them to elaborate-or be any more specific. Maybe it had to do with a rush of power/dominance feelings??
In any case, I do think that is probably a very unusual reaction, for fighters of either sex. Mind you, that was only two female fighters (who were also roomates) out of so many I have talked to through the years about what they get emotionally from fighting. I only remembered because it was so very surprising-and astonishingly frank.
I apologize to all for mentioning that. It was probably in bad taste to even repeat it.
In fairness to women fighters and fans, It's almost exclusively male fans who make fetishes out women's fighting-something that would never occur to most women.
I guess its testosterone run amuck. dangeorus substance, that.
