goodhelmet Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I heard about this on Sports Talk Radio this week. A Trans Gender wants to compete in MMA as a woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The extremely short version is: - All of the experts that have weighed in feel she should be able to compete if she's hormonally female and most of the comments I've read get that, but... - Women who have competed against her (both in MMA fights and grappling competitions) say she's strong enough that it feels like they're fighting a man. And she is, in fact, pretty jacked up. My guess? She's fully transitioned like she says, but she's using steroids as PEDs and has been lucky/selective with the smaller shows she's fought on as far as drug testing goes. So any perceived advantage would have nothing to do with being a transwoman, and obviously nobody's getting SRS just to win a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
