Transsexuals in MMA

This has been a hot topic on the forum for the last few days, so I thought I'd offer up my two cents.

I'm sure by now that the MMAF community is aware that I am a transsexual, bisexual woman, and some of you may know that I am a Thai Boxer, and BJJ practitioner. This gives me a unique perspective on a lot of things, but in particular on the issue of transsexuals in combat sports. To clarify, I train in the gym but I do not fight, because of the controversy surrounding this whole issue....

UFC on FUEL 8 : Return to the true home of MMA (very short blurb)

The UFC Returns to Japan for the 2nd time in 2 years after a very long hiatus from it's only UFC events held prior to zuffa ownership which began in 2001.
