Luckily, the pair finally found a way to settle their gripes, and we have the video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Watch it above.<\/p>\n<p>Before this bizarre contest,\u00a0<span>Zylinsky clarified on his stance, reiterated that not just\u00a0<em>any\u00a0<\/em>man can defeat a female professional fighter, but any<em>\u00a0<\/em>man with physical strength, some coordination, sharp reflexes, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the biggest misconception that came about this is that people were like oh, Kris said &#8216;all men can beat trained women.&#8217; That&#8217;s not what I said at all. I said\u00a0<em>me\u00a0<\/em>because I am in good shape, I watch jiu jitsu, I have some knowledge. I&#8217;m not just a guy walking in out of the street. Everybody is saying oh Kris is saying &#8216;just some guy walking in off the street can beat up a professional female fighter.&#8217; That&#8217;s not what I said. In order for a guy, in my opinion, to beat a professional female MMA fighter, they need to be in amazing shape, they need to have coordination, reflexes&#8230; you&#8217;ve got to be a warrior. You&#8217;ve got to be somebody that is very athletic. You&#8217;re not just going to get some computer programmer and put him in there and say &#8216;oh he&#8217;s a guy, he&#8217;s going to win.&#8217; That&#8217;s not going to happen. Everyone is saying &#8216;oh Kris, you&#8217;re saying just cause you&#8217;re a guy you&#8217;re going to win.&#8217; That&#8217;s not what I&#8217;m saying. I&#8217;m saying it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m a guy, because\u00a0<em>I&#8217;m\u00a0<\/em>in shape, because\u00a0<em>I&#8217;m\u00a0<\/em>fast, because\u00a0<em>I\u00a0<\/em>have some jiu jitsu knowledge. I never trained in classes, but I know what a kimura is, I know what a rear-naked choke is, I know what guard is.
