Just two days after Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) reigning women's bantamweight champion Rousey declared that she would not fight Fallon due to her "unfair advantage", the transgender brawler responds through her Facebook page.
"First, I really wish Ronda would stop with the ridiculous bone structure arguments. That was so last year. Second, she should tell her boss to put me in that Octagon over there at UFC. I'm quite sure that there are quite a few female MMA fighters who have guts to fight another skilled woman without peeing their panties," said Fox on her Facebook page.
The 38-year-old American mixed martial arts fighter responded to comments made by Rowdy per TMZ this week that she is not afraid of fighting anyone but there is a line she would not dare cross. Rousey, the unbeaten champion (10-0), relayed that her choice of opponents is a case by case scenario thing and that she had tried doing research on Fox and said that if she underwent puberty as a man, that procedure cannot be reversed giving Fox an undue advantage.
Given the number of opponents who are raring to give the first red mark on the UFC's darling, Fox will have to wait in line, if she ever gets there. UFC head honcho has been looking at the best possible draw against his biggest draw. His first option would be Gina Carano but negotiations have hit a snag the past month and after the fighter turned movie star, there are still viable options in Cris "Cyborg" Justino and Bethe Corriea.
The prospect of Fox ever facing Rowdy looks bleak as White himself was critical of transgender fighters in the league.
"Bone structure is different, hands are bigger, jaw is bigger, everything is bigger," White said last year. "I don't believe in it. I don't think someone who used to be a man and became a woman should be able to fight a woman."
For now, Fox will just have to take out her might on someone else, after all the former U.S. Navy despite her "undue advantage" still lost to Ashlee Evans Smith to a knockout punch.
