Should Tranny Fallon Fox Be Allowed To Fight In UFC?

**[SIL]** · 03-22-2013, 08:51 AM

Transgendered Mixed Martial Arts fighter Fallon Fox has a perfect professional record, but now she's battling to stay in the sport in the face of outcry from everyone from opponents to state regulators.Fox, who revealed she was born a man earlier this March, is now having her license approval investigated by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. She is scheduled to fight in the semifinals of Championship Fighting Alliance's eight-woman featherweight tournament on April 20.
'The reaction has been positive,' Fox, 37, told CNN. 'It's just some people, some of society doesn't get it yet. And this is what we're trying to do now is to inform people and let them know about transgender athletes.'Fallon first spoke publicly about her history to Sports Illustrated when she discovered that a journalist with a different publication was investigating her transition.Sports Illustrated's Loretta Hunt, who covered Fox's gender reassignment surgery and victorious pro debut in May 2012, noted that there are already regulations in place for transgender athletes to compete in MMA. MMA guidelines do not require transgender fighters to undergo sex-change surgery. However they do require a minimum of two years hormone therapy, with regular testing. Those rules are similar to the International Olympic Committee's policy, which requires transgender athletes to undergo hormone therapy long enough to negate gender-related advantages. The Association of Boxing Commissions has similar guidelines.
Since the disclosure, her last opponent, Ericka Newsome, has said that it was unfair of Fallon to keep the information secret. Fox knocked out Newsome 39 seconds into the first round with a knee to the chin. Newsome said it was 'unfair I didn't know it, but it didn't matter that she fought me. I feel that it should have been disclosed to me ahead of time...so we are aware and better prepared for the situation.'Newsome will appeal the loss on the grounds that she was unaware Fox was a transgender person and that the referee stopped the fight earlier than he should have. 'They should have let the fight go,' Newsome's manager, Matt Hamilton, said. 'She should have thrown at least one to two more shots to confirm it. On that particular basis, that's one of the things we'll appeal with, as well as not having it disclosed.'Fox disagreed saying she had 'no unfair competitive advantages.'Jorge De La Noval, CEO of Championship Fighting Alliance, said he believes her. Jorge told Mail Online he was unaware of Fox's history when he first signed her to his promotion and that she told him shortly before the story went public. If he had known, he said he still would have given her a contract.

A dude without a penis fighting women?

Priceless

**KILLEROFSAINTS** · 03-22-2013, 08:59 AM

im confused

**ctr10** · 03-22-2013, 09:02 AM

She's a man, so she should fight men

**SheriV** · 03-22-2013, 09:11 AM

hmmm...I must have hit cancel instead of post...

I have no idea but I'd like to strangle "her" with that fake fucking dog tag on her neck

**SheriV** · 03-22-2013, 09:12 AM

where is "she" wearing the toe tag?? why do these assholes only wear one tag to boot?

**heckler7** · 03-22-2013, 09:25 AM

she has an unfair advantage, I watch girls box at my gym and they have no power and barely any coordination. Most guys with no training would destroy a woman. It would be like letting normal people compete in the special olympics

**DOMS** · 03-22-2013, 09:34 AM

The pandering to the people that "don't feel like" this or that if fucking ridiculous. A guy want to back-door, or be back-doored...fine, but that doesn't give them any more rights than anyone else. You were born with a penis, you use the men's room. You were born with a penis, you don't get to fight girls.

Good-fucking-god.

**Saney** · 03-22-2013, 09:40 AM

Would Saney bang Fallon Fox

**heckler7** · 03-22-2013, 09:57 AM

on the other hand girls can be really tough at jujistu, my wife is extremely squirmy and hard to hold onto, but I just use my weight advantage. If she wants to fight a man I dont see any problem with that

**SheriV** · 03-22-2013, 10:05 AM

my only experience with fighting men is bar fights and pugul sticks...

Ive destroyed in both but I do have coordination and speed...and fairly large shoulders...plus I out weigh most young men

**LCSULLA** · 03-22-2013, 10:07 AM

^ my kinda gal.

I'd agree for the most part

men and women can be very even in lower body strength, speed, coordination but theres no contest with upper body
BUT if were talking about early physiological hormone changes in puberty...I think it gets pretty grey...

you've got this "guy" thats a female to male transgendered person...

**SheriV** · 03-22-2013, 10:46 AM

I think that blurs the line quite a bit if you're talking same weight class

I've only ever won bar fights with the element of surprise and liquid courage and a former fuck all attitude

^^^ all transgendered women to men

I think the point I'm trying to make is...its pretty easy for women to catch up to men with hormones
we all know beating a drug test isn't that hard...we're not talking men and women that have been pulled off the street and put in a ring

and thats where this is grey
I think the problem lies with not being up front about it from the get go
