The list of enemies Ronda Rousey doesn't stop growing. This time, transgender fighter Fallon Fox responded to criticism made by the UFC bantamweight champion and challenged the undefeated North American to a fight.
Recently, Ronda stated that Fox has an “unfair advantage” over its opponents, because, according to her, she has the bone structure of a man. Fox, in turn, was outraged by the champion's arguments, insinuating that she is afraid of a potential duel between them.
“First of all, I really wish Ronda would stop making these ridiculous arguments about bone structure. This is a thing of the past. Second, she should tell her boss to put me in the UFC octagon. I'm sure there are some female fighters who have the courage to face another skilled woman without pissing her pants and saying she wouldn't fight. I think they can be tougher mentally and say 'I would fight a transsexual, just like I would fight a lesbian or a black woman'. They can use any kind of old-fashioned argument about bone structure to face defeat – they think people are ignorant about the subject. But at least some of them take the sport seriously,” Fox wrote on his Facebook page.
Fallon Fox, whose birth name is Boyd Burton, is 38 years old and has a professional record of five wins and one loss in professional MMA. She had sex change surgery in 2006, when she also began intense hormone therapy treatment. Already Ronda Rousey, 27 years old, has a perfect record, with ten wins in ten fights as a professional – all by knockout or submission. The only champion of the UFC women's bantamweight category, Ronda is coming off a lightning victory over Alexis Davis, with a knockout in just 16 seconds.
