A Romanian MMA company is facing backlash after allowing two male MMA fighters to face off against three women in the ring.
While women's combat sports have come a long way in the past couple of years, there's still an important reason why sports such as boxing and MMA are divided by gender and weight class.
However, none of this matters to the people who stage events at Real Xtreme Fighting (RXF), especially when it comes to getting views.
According to RXF's social media, the three women were Alicia Bonita, Denisa Costea, and Maria Adriana, while the men were Costica Prisecaru and Sebastian Rechinu.

On paper, three should theoretically beat two, but this doesn't take into account that only two of the three women - Costea and Adriana - appear to have a combat background, whereas Prisecaru and Rechinu are both MMA fighters.
Meanwhile, Bonita describes herself as a dancer and OnlyFans model.
The women also twerked before to entertain fans before the unsurprisingly short-lived match got underway, and ended exactly the way you're expecting.
Costea, Bonita, and Adriana struggled from the get go, as they struggled to land a single punch against the two men and were quickly knocked to the ground. The match ended in a win for the two men and multiple shocked viewers, who couldn't believe what they'd just watched.

"2 men vs. 3 Instagram models. How is this legal," wrote X account Happy Punch, who initially shared the clip on the platform.
"This is disgusting. How does something like this get sanctioned," one person replied to the clip, while a second added: "Whoever allows this to happen shouldn't be allowed to licence fights. It's disgusting behaviour."
"2 experienced male fighters vs 3 instagram girls.. who authorised this fight," a third penned.
another user replied: "That’s it send a barrage of comets we had a nice run but I think there’s no coming back from this one."

The two on three stunt isn't the only bonkers fight RXF has recently hosted either, with the company previously sanctioning a two on one fight featuring two women and one man last year.
More recently, the fight company chucked 10 amateur lightweight fighters against two professional heavyweights for our viewing pleasure.
Unexpectedly, the match quickly descended into absolute carnage as 10 men attempted to pile on two.
The pro fighting pair were eventually declared winners, proving that weight and fighting background are more important than biology or numbers.
