Mixed Martial artist Fallon Fox bragged about punching a trans unfriendly person during her active days in MMA
Fallon Fox aka ‘The Queen of Swords’ was a professional mixed martial artist from 2012 to 2014. She is also the first trans person to make it into MMA. She was widely criticized at the time due to the fact that her opponents were unaware of her biological status.
Fox even went so far as to insist she had a disadvantage facing biological women.
“I’m actually at a disadvantage,” Fox said on a recent edition of Inside MMA. “Before the surgery, I started on hormone replacement surgery, back in 2002, 2003.”
She continues the hormone treatments to this day.
“I have to. If I don’t take estrogen hormone replacement therapy, I can get osteoporosis,” she continued. “So any of the women I’m competing against, my testosterone levels are drastically lower than theirs; it’s almost nothing.”
Recently, she took to her Twitter account to boast about punching a TERFs on the face. TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) is a feminist who excludes the rights of transgender women from their advocacy of women’s rights.
She revealed that she has punched TERFs three times during her time competing inside the octagon. She also joked about holding the record of the athlete who punched TERFs the most.
“There’s been three times where I’ve punched a TERF in the face. I think I hold the record. I’m the most based trans person on earth.” Fox wrote in the caption.

“You gotta catch up to these numbers. Lol.” Fox wrote.

Fallon Fox opened about being a transgender back in 2013. Her announcement caused quite the controversy among many MMA fans. They believe that it would be unfair for biological women having to engage someone who was born a male in an MMA scenario. UFC color commentator Joe Rogan and UFC fighter Ronda Rousey also slammed Fox.
During her last outing in 2014, Fallon Fox wrecked female fighter Tamika Brents pretty badly. Brents reportedly suffered a broken skull. This lead to a bigger controversy.
Fallon Fox ended her career with a total of 6 bouts in her professional MMA career. She competed in various promotions but mostly within the Championship Fighting Alliance (CFA). She has a total score consisting of 5 wins and 1 loss. The women that defeated Fox ended up in the UFC.
