Fallon Fox caught the world's attention last week when she revealed that she was the first transsexual to compete in women's MMA. At 37 years old and with a record of two victories in her career, she is facing problems in being able to renew her competitor's license. Despite the sex change operation, carried out in 2006, the athlete's body still produces male hormones and this would be preventing the United States Athletic Commissions from releasing the license.

When asked about the matter, Dana White, president of the UFC and one of the most influential men in MMA, avoided the controversy and said it was an issue for the commissioners to resolve.

“It’s a problem for the Athletic Commissions. I don't know how they will resolve this. It's a difficult issue and it's in the committees' hands, not mine," White told the program. "Abe Kanan Show".

Despite dodging the controversy, White revealed that the fighter is still far from having a chance in the UFC. For the manager, his record of just two fights, against expressionless opponents, is too small to guarantee a place in Ultimate.

“All the fighters that Fallon Fox defeated had a losing record. She was a man and now she's a woman and she's fighting with girls who have the losing record. Before everyone goes crazy asking her to fight in the UFC, I'll warn you that she's so far from that that it's not even funny”, concluded the director.
