Sex sells, unfortunately.

And this is good news and progress is being made, however, I have an issue with some of the poses and pictures used by female fighters on their own social media sites.

I'm interested to know if pictures such as one where an athlete may have a thumb in their underwear pulling it down slightly is holding back other women from training because of body image issues.

We follow Maria Lopez on Instagram and I think she has the correct balance.

We also follow Princess Of Iron who posts pictures of her development without being overtly sexual.

Felice Herrig is an example of someone we stopped following as I felt some of her pictures didn't portray the same values we have.

Ronda Rousey has plenty of pictures without a top and just her hands covering her breasts and I am not sure how this looks to either a young girl, or older woman.

Is the balance about right, is there more to do, are there still issues I've not mentioned and are some of these pictures holding back progress in other areas.
