Transgender man knocks out biological woman in MMA fight What do you think about this? I know there are transgenders in swimming and weight lifting (few even were participating on Olympic Games).

In Olympics they will not allow biological man to face a biological female. This should not happen in any sports let alone in fighting as it is unfair.

But they do allow biological man to compete against biological woman in swimming and weightlifting. The success in these two sports relies a lot on strength and dexterity, than on skill and luck. There examples of transgenders participating in 100 and 200m dash. To me this is unfair. Of course we wont see transgenders fight in UFC or in other big promotions, but there are a lot of freak promotions. And it isnt fair when a man hits a women and hide behind "today I feel like women".

That was one hell of a fight. I also thought Rodtang deserved the win but surprisingly the judges gave it to Superlek. And most people that talking about this fight also thought Rodtang won. It's a shame Superlek came in 5 pounds overweight. That's a lot of weight difference already. Rodtang's strikes would've brought more damage on Superlek if they came in at the same weight. And without the added weight, Superlek's strength when he's holding and pushing would've been thwarted at times.

People are demanding a rematch. Also, we want to see a 5 round fight and not just 3 rounds since this is a super fight between two warriors.

Rodtang really seemed to dominate the fight and in the second and third rounds Rodtang was still able to keep up with Superlek attacks but the referee decision was very disappointing where Superlek was the superior in terms of points.

It true that many people want a rematch with 5 rounds not just 3 rounds and in these 5 rounds I sure the finish will not come from points but by knockout.

I watched a brutal fight between two tough Muay Thai fighters and it was held by ONE and since the first round Rodtang was very aggressive and managed to make Superlek head hurt until blood was literally dripping down his face.
Muay Thai fighting is one of the most exciting fights because the fighters have very good power and the power of their kicks and punches is also very strong.

From this fight I thought Rodtang could beat Superlek but in the jury decision Superlek won by absolute points over Rodtang.
Superlek tends to hold Rudtang hands more often and push him to the corner of the ring and this is one of the reasons why Rodtang cannot freely attack.

Congratulations to Superlek on the win.

That was one great fight aswell that was held by ONE Championship and Rodtang was also a well-known personality in the Philippines which is why I surely know him Superlek Kiatmoo9 was well-known but for sure that was his fight against Panpayak Jitmuangnon and for sure Rodtang had a fight against Demetrious JOhnson for sure that was one mixed matches for us, but in this fight Congratulation for Superlek Kiatmoo9 and like I have said you will not be super if your name and number and alpha was combined in your name it was a literal Super then a number of 9 for sure it has no losses or what so ever,

That right because this is a meeting of two tough and famous fighters born in Thailand making it a really hot ONE Championship event.
Rodtang was previously a fighter with a very good record and was undefeated but after he got married we saw his fights get a little worse even though he was still able to get some wins but he was no longer what he used to be when he was not married.

There is only one fighter who is truly nicknamed the king of Muay Thai namely Buakaw and he has succeeded in creating a big name as an expert in Muay Thai martial arts from Thailand.

A man hitting a woman will seem to have a way to make a win in court if that woke nonsense applies. It's a crazy world right now that even when we can clearly see the difference between men and women, they just have to create a few more because we are all on a spectrum about whether a man can feel more like a woman today than yesterday.

Well, I wanna see a transgender fight in UFC against a man so we'll see if they learn and know their place.

the next ksw event (#87) will take place in czech republic. cage fighters from 8 different european countries will compete. the main fight will be contested by serbian Darko Stošić (5-1-1) and czech Michal Martinek (1-1-1).

I don't think we're likely to see any fake-woman Vs woman fight in the UFC anytime soon, not on Dana White's watch, but if the trend continues and with few more tweaks in the law, UFC could get sued for discrimination of protected minorities if they refuse to do such fights.
It's a sad world we live in. Reminds me of the last days of Rome, when, according to some historians, women were forced to fight dwarf men to the death.
Just a fall of civilisation, nothing to see here.

Newsflash, this is already happening in MMA for years
Dana White is only responsible for UFC, but there are plenty of other MMA organizations who are just waiting to do this for more money and promotion.
Ashlee Smith is a big hero for kicking ass of Fallon Fox in 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhJ-XeUOf_A

People are crazy for watching, paying and allowing this to happen.

[notblox1]

PFL is back this weekend with another interesting event PFL3 Europe from Paris, France.
Two undefeated guys from France are in main event, Jordan Zébo vs Cédric Doumbé, but I never heard about them until now.
There are other interesting fights but nothing stands out, Abdouraguimov is huge favorite in co-main event against Brad Wheeler.
Good way to spend time watching MMA this weekend since there is small break in UFC events.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I was talking specifically about UFC, not other organisations. I'm not a big fan of Dana White, but one thing that's good about him is that's he doesn't seem to be buying into the transgender non-sense. But even UFC will have to capitulate, unless there's a major societal push-back.
Other, smaller organisations are incentivised to allow that, as it drives more views, even just by controversy.

[TopTort777]

Of course UFC will capitulate one day and there will be not only transgender fights, but freak shows also or fights between humans and animals. The market, demand makes rules. Viewers and fans vote with money. Just look how UFC and MMA have changed over years. First events - there were not weight divisions, more variety of strikes allowed. 10-15 years ago I would not even image there would be women division in MMA. I was amazed even to see women do professional boxing. My vision always was - it is ok for women to train. Let them do it for stretching, to be in shape, gym substitution. I was ok to see women in Karate or Taekwondo tournaments, where they win by point system and not by knockouts. Now we get smashed faces, cuts, broken bones, torn joints and transgenders.

Did you guys watch ONE FC with Stamp Fairtex vs Ham in the main event?  I've seen a couple of matches of Fairfex and in this one vs Ham is prolly the best everybody has seen of her.  I'd like to see her in the UFC at some point.  She could be a little under sized but I think she could fare well vs many fighters there and get in at top 15 at 115.

And been following Smilla Sundell  since winning vs Jackie Buntan...  And again wow.  This girl could be a kick boxer and Muay Thai great.  Can't wait for her next bout.  I hope to see her vs somebody really tough like Anissa Meksen.

This is going to be interesting event to watch, especially main event between this two big heavyweight fighters.
I never watched Martínek fighting but I see he has small reach advantage in this fight, but he is few years older and underdog in this fight.
I just saw this fight card is starting in two weeks, you are posting this information to early and we cant find any betting odds

For sure Rodtang was lucky back when he got Stamp Fairtex and unlucky at the same time just look at the punch and kick power of this girl for sure Rodtang is getting so many bruises from that and surely maybe that is why they break in the 1st place, well, kidding aside that fight with Ham Seo-Hee was epic Ham got Stamp down on the 2nd round with a clean shot but Stamp scramble with grappling to evade Ham's shots and from that the ground is proven effective for Stamp Fairtex in getting his recovery, and on the 3rd round that kicks to the body has proven that Stamp Fairtex has the power in making her opponent go down in a KO/TKO fashion victory for sure it was a great performance for Stamp Fairtex

A little surprised by Angela Lee decision to retire before the fight for the world title at One Fight Night 14 and even though I may be late with this news the decision to retire before this important event begins is actually very unfortunate because Angela is fighter who can be said to be very good and will be remembered as legend.

It is reported that he will also auction off his world title belt and the trousers he wore at the 2018 world championship and the proceeds from the auction will be given as a donation.
Is anyone here following Angela Lee developments?

[notblox1]

This week is going to be hot in MMA Bellator promotion with some amazing fights, and I would rate it better than this week UFC event.
Khabib cousin Usman Nurmagomedov who has perfect mma record 17-0 is fighting in main event against Brent Primus.
In co-main event big Cris Cyborg is fightinh for  Featherweight Championship belt against Cat Zingano, and Liz Carmouche with Macfarlane for Flyweight Championship title.
Sadly Vassell Withdrew from fight and there is noone to replace him in fight against Ryan Bader.
A lot more fights will happen in prelims so I recommend every MMA fan to watch this event.

I'm not really surprised.  All the pressure was getting to her.  The pressure to win, the people's expectations of her and the pressure of being a mom.  Ooof I think that's a big one.  I mean I'm not a parent yet, but I've seen a couple of ky friends got their GF's preggo right after college and they just changed.  Like they're outlook in life got a lot serious but you could see a part of them wants to get out of it.  Lol.

Anyway I think she'll be back and do one of those coming out of retirement matches and challenge the champ.  She also prolly just needs some time off.

Surely I was also late when I saw the news Angela Lee is surely a popular champion in the world of MMA and her unlikely retirement really sent shocking news to all of her fans and many are wondering why, sure you can see some answers on why she decided to retire from the world of MMA here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7WwVZ9y9Ks

Well, my assessment of her retirement I think there is something to do with her depression and the sudden passing of her Sister and fighter Victoria Lee, for sure in that interview she will surely unveil some of her depression and her suicide attempt in 2017, for sure her retirement was for her common good and for sure this will likely lift up the Burden she is feeling right now so for me this will surely free her on that Shackles,

Nice! Usman Nurmagomedov is fighting in this card, I am also thinking of posting it here after the PFL event but you have beat me into it, for sure thanks for covering it up, and on this fight card Usman Nurmagomedov VS Brent Primus is the main highlight for this event and this is going to be stunning for sure, former UFC fighter Cris Cyborg and Liz Carmouche is also in this event card, and is the Co-Main Event and both is the Main card for this great event for me I will likely post my bet and prediction for this fights and what I think could likely happen, and how I wish Usman Nurmagomedov would likely go t UFC someday,

[notblox1]

PFL just signed another ex UFC fighter Derek Brunson for light heavyweight tournament with big reward of $1 million.
Brunson is not in his prime with 39 years but he has very good MMA record and he is going to make this tournament more interesting.
I am expecting few more fighters t sign in next months, previous competitions were very popular.

For sure she has her own reason for doing this, for sure she wants to retire badly and not do that World Title One Fight Night, but she has her own decision, in doing so, in my opinion, and because I have watched the recent interview of Angela Lee on Ariel Helwani she said that she is compromising her her when Stepping inside the cage for sure and the recent passing of her sister Victoria Lee, is something that is hard for her and the accident that she has was revealed to be not really an accident but a self inflicted suicide attempt for sure after hearing all this my conclusion was, that she has a depression for sure,

Nice! Usman Nurmagomedov is fighting in this card, I am also thinking of posting it here after the PFL event but you have beat me into it, for sure thanks for covering it up, and on this fight card Usman Nurmagomedov VS Brent Primus is the main highlight for this event and this is going to be stunning for sure, former UFC fighter Cris Cyborg and Liz Carmouche is also in this event card, and is the Co-Main Event and both is the Main card for this great event for me I will likely post my bet and prediction for this fights and what I think could likely happen, and how I wish Usman Nurmagomedov would likely go t UFC someday,

For sure Khabib Nurmagomedov's Cousin Usman is a fighter who bore the Nurmagomedov name and many fans have awaited his fights like most fans I am also looking at Usman Nurmagomedov's fight for we also have former UFC fighters as well, we have Cris Cyborg, Liz Carmouche, but we also got a canceled bout and that is Ryan Bader vs. Linton Vassell fight

[notblox1]

Another win for Usman Nurmagomedov!
He made it look so easy against Brent Primus, and he now has perfect  18-0 MMA record 
I dont think there is anyone who can beat him in Lightweight division, and I would like to see him fight against fighter from UFC Islam Makhachev, only one who can challenge him.
Outside of UFC fighters he is going to fight against Shably or Pitbull in Bellator Grand Prix final.

It was another win performance of Usman Nurmagomedov, and for sure he played it safe in winning he is too quick for Brent Primus and you can clearly see the technicality of his punches you can see it into Primus's face bloodied by Usman Nurmagomedov's punches, Cris Cyborg also won against Cat Zingano,  Liz Carmouche also win her fight against Ilima-Lei Macfarlane

Another win for Usman Nurmagomedov!

And the Crowd goes mild! well, the crowd didn't really like the performance that is why they booed both fighters but Usman Nurmagomedov didn't give a thought about it as long as he won the fight sure he was OK with it, and because Numagomedov approached the fight with caution, as long as he is safe and it was a win for him that is OK with him, and on this fight Usman was dominating both stand-up and the ground game that is how dominant he was inside the cage,
