To me it is unfair and at the same time who wants to fight a transgender if you are a female up to what has the strengths of a man and on the inside is actually a man. Just cutting a wiener off doesn't make I fair to compete against a woman. JMO!
Maybe we should have a transgender category or they will have to compete in the gender they were born with to make it fair.

This is kind of old news. Fallon Fox has never been welcomed into an significant MMA organization. KOTC, CFA, XFO and CCCW all featured her in events because she was controversial and those organizations are generally totally ignored by everyone. It gave each of them their 15 minutes of fame.
Fox's last opponent was Tamikka Brents who she beat by Technical Knock Out in 1 minute 17 seconds. Brent's statements:
“I’ve fought a lot of women,” Brents stated. “And never felt the strength I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because [he] was born a man or not, because I’m not a doctor,” she stated. “I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life, and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right.”
Since then, no MMA organization has been willing to pony up and feature Fallon Fox because it casts them in the role of the Romans feeding Christians to the lions (feeding the weak to the strong) for entertainment purposes -- that sort of thing.
She fought Brents on September 13, 2014 so it's been two years since anyone offered Fallon Fox a fight.

Absolutely false!
1.) Many fans of Ronda Rousey suggested that RR could beat a man in her same weight class and urged her to actively seek such a fight.
2.)
Ronda responded that she wanted nothing to do with turning a man punching a woman in the face into a form of entertainment. She refuses to fight men on principle and she's got a very good point there. And we've already discussed the unfair advantages that men have, so it's just not a good idea. This does not necessarily mean Ronda is afraid. She and other top-notch female MMA fighters regularly train and spar against men for one simple reason: Men are tougher sparring partners and steel sharpens steel.
3.) Fallon Fox has never fought for the UFC, so there was never any chance that she could have fought Ronda.
4.) The UFC has publicly stated that they will never sign Fallon Fox to fight in in Women's MMA under any circumstances.
5.) If the UFC had changed their minds for some reason, Fox would have needed to do a lot more than she did in her brief 6 fight career to even be considered by the UFC. She beat up 5 nobodies and got knocked out by Ashlee Evans-Smith.
6.) Fallon Fox will turn 41 years old this coming November. She's probably too old to make a run at the UFC even if the UFC were willing to have her.
7.) Ronda Rousey hasn't been champ for close to a year now. She got knocked out by Holly Holm. Holm got submitted by Miesha Tate via rear naked choke. (Rear naked choke is basically the WWE's sleeper hold but for real and yes it really does work.) Miesha Tate then lost to Amanda Nunes via rear naked choke. The UFC wants to have Ronda Rousey fight Amanda Nunes for the title next.
The only reason anybody ever heard of Fallon Fox is because of the controversy surrounding her. From the perspective of women's MMA, she's a nobody and irrelevant.
