This is ridiculous IMO.
A guy, former special forces, switchers genders - then comes to the MMA to beat up on women. :rolleyes:

McLaughlin left the U.S. Army Special Forces in 2010 and initiated a gender transition around the same time. The athlete looks forward to “open[ing] the door” for transgender people in combat sports, according to The New York Post.
“I want to pick up the mantle that Fallon put down,” McLaughlin said in an interview leading up to the fight, referring to the U.S.’s first transgender MMA fighter, according to Outsports. “Right now, I’m following in Fallon’s footsteps. I’m just another step along the way and it’s my great hope that there are more to follow behind me.”
