Riley Gaines praises female jiu-jitsu athletes for refusing to fight against biological males

On Friday, Reduxx published an exclusive story about female martial artists who refused to participate in a jiu-jitsu tournament after men took over the women’s category. The news sparked intense backlash, and in less than 24 hours after the article was posted, the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) amended its rule book.

The boycott worked. From now on at NAGA-sponsored matches, only females may compete in female events.Riley Gaines joined Charly Arnolt on OutKick the Morning Monday to discuss the massive victory for women’s sports.

“It’s huge. That is what we have needed to see,” Gaines said. “We have needed to see girls [fight] back and look what happens when you do. It took 21 hours — just 21 hours — for NAGA to change their policies and protect women’s sports, prioritize fairness over inclusion.”

“When the gun goes off, you don’t jump off the block,” she said. “That’s how you say enough is enough and really communicate the message that we’re not putting up with it.”
