    Not the one on the right. I hate tattoos on women. Ugly.

    Fallon Fox had gender reassignment surgery in 2006 and is currently 2-0 fighting as a female. The Florida State Boxing Commission, having found out about her transgender status, is reviewing her license. I have no idea if being born a man will give her any competitive advantage; she says that it doesn't. Either way it’s an interesting case.

    "That is a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak," Mitrione said. "And I mean that. Because you lied on your license to beat up women. That's disgusting. You should be embarrassed yourself."

    Gender reassignment surgery? So that's what they're calling it these days? Um, OK.

    As for UFC, where is Tanya Harding when you need her.

    Yeah, the UFC doesn't take kindly to its fighters running their mouths like this and drawing all kinds of negative attention. All you have to do is look back at the fighters getting in trouble for their rape tweets and things like that to know that's what happened here.
    On another note, I'm glad to see some MMA discussion on here. Good to know I'm not the only one who pays attention to it. I might try to start up some threads or something if a major PPV or news event is coming up.

    My favorite fighters were Brock Lesnar, Kurt Pelligrino, Chris Leben, and Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko. That's all I got.
