The issue of transgender MMA fighters is back in the news, with UFC Women's Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey stating her beliefs about whether she would be open to fighting a woman that was once a man. TMZ cameras caught up with Rousey on Friday and asked her if she'd be willing to fight Fallon Fox (5-1), who recently stopped Tamikka Brents and broke her orbital bone in a fight that lasted all of two minutes.
Rousey, who says she can knock out anybody, explains why she doesn't think a fight against Fox would be fair.
"I think it's one of those scenarios when it's a case by case thing. I actually tried to research a lot and I feel that if you already go through puberty as a man, it's something you can't really reverse. But there are people that are earlier on put on hormone replacement therapy until they're of legal age, and they can make a decision to get the sex change later. That would be acceptable, that would be fine because they won't already have developed the bone structure of a man.
You can't just reverse that. There's no 'undo' button on that. On a case by case basis, you really have to look at that, but on Fallon Fox's case I think that she has an unfair advantage. It is outside of her control, but that unfortunately is her scenario. It's unfortunate especially for her competition as well."
