Of course it’s unfair for someone who was born a man and went through puberty as a man to compete against women. The fact that this is even a discussion shows how afraid our society has become of being politically incorrect.
This isn’t any different than if David and I, who played Division I basketball, woke up tomorrow and said we identified as female and went and dominated the WNBA. Only in the sport of MMA, people are much more likely to get seriously hurt than basketball, so this is even worse.
The reigning women’s UFC champ believes a transgendered MMA fighter has an “unfair advantage,” but when asked whether she’s intimidated by it she answered the best way possible.
TMZ reports that Ronda Rousey was asked about Fallon Fox, who was born naturally as a man but has since had gender reassignment surgery and is allowed to fight with the women.
Rousey, who’s the reigning UFC champ, said she’s done a lot of research on Fox and ultimately feels that she should be fighting with the men, especially considering the damage she’s been inflicting.
TMZ notes that Fox has won her last two fights, and her last opponent was beaten so badly that she reportedly suffered a concussion, a broken orbital bone, and required staples in her head.
I thought Ronda gave the perfect response:
Side note: Ronda is hardcore. She was attacked at a movie theater one time by a group of men and beat them up like it was nothing.
