However that does not seem to be the case. According to Miesha Tate he submission loss to Ronda Rousey this past Saturday did not result in any broken bones. Here is what she said to MMAfighting.com about the arm: “I had X-Rays last night. No bones are broken, which I already knew. Other than that, I have to get an MRI to find out anything further.” |

Re: Ronda Rousey vs Fallon Fox
She had a dislocation which is a lot like a fracture(which means broken) and it usually takes longer to rehab.

Re: Ronda Rousey vs Fallon Fox
I think this is great news...it could possibly lead to maybe some kind of exhibition mixed matches?
Transgender Fighter Fallon Fox Loses Via TKO to Ashlee Evans-Smith at CFA12 By Steven Rondina(Featured Columnist) on October 12, 2013 4,889 reads Controversial transgender mixed martial artist Fallon Fox has suffered the first loss of her professional MMA career to the relatively unknown Ashlee Evans-Smith. The loss came via third-round technical knockout at Championship Fighting Alliance in a featherweight title fight. The first round saw Fox attempt to pull guard almost immediately. However, the move failed and Evans-Smith was showing off strong grappling chops, nearly securing a choke from the back. Fox would escape and land some powerful punches and knees that nearly won her the fight, while Evans-Smith would barely survive the round. The tables turned in a profound way in the second. Evans-Smith rocked Fox early and laid down a massive amount of punches and knees from side control, mount and crucifix positions. There was controversy at the end of round, as the referee motioned to end the fight and was unable to hear that the bell had rung just seconds earlier. The third was another strong showing from Evans-Smith, who escaped an early takedown and reasserted her grappling superiority, taking Fox down with a mount position and pounding her out en route to the stoppage victory. Entering the fight, Ashlee Evans-Smith owned a 1-0 professional record going into the bout and a 5-4 amateur record. The biggest win of her career came over current TUF 18 fighter and Invicta FC veteran Jessamyn Duke (who gives her take on the show each week with us). She comes from a wrestling background, and used it to great effect on Fox. Fox's professional record falls to 3-1 (1-0 amateur). Fox inadvertently drummed up massive controversy in 2012, as fans, fighters and pundits all questioned the fairness of a male-to-female transgender competing in bouts against born women. Some pointed to Fox's first four fights being stoppage victories as evidence that she owned an unfair advantage over her competition, though this fight saw her beaten in most aspects of MMA. It will be interesting to see how things pan out from here for either fighter. Evans-Smith is suddenly a major player at 145 pounds, and questions will begin flying as to whether or not Fox truly is a force in women's MMA. Only time will tell how things will shake out for these two. |

Re: Ronda Rousey vs Fallon Fox
She may be a pioneer for transgender fighters but I never rated her high. I will not discuss whether she has an advantage over natural females (she claims disadvantage saying her testosterone level is lower than natural female being on hormone replacement therapy).
But consider this, she is 37 and relatively new in MMA. Her opponents are younger (& presumable stronger and has greater stamina). Though WMMA is a new sports still I doubt a 37 year old newbie can rise to the top here. Most probably she won't even get the chance. As she meets more quality opponent her wins would evaporate. Whatever I have seen of her fights have not impressed me much. But I sincerely hope she gets to fight, she does not seem strong enough to pose any safety threat to her opponents (unlike a true man) and I see no reason why top women should not fight her. But saying that if she ever fights Ronda my money would be on an armbar finish in the 1st round |

My argument has always been some women can beat some men. Some women are just naturally more athletic, stronger and plain tougher than some men. |

More disrespectful would be your eagerness to see Fox fight men - where she would get killed - when she clearly has her hands full with women, all for your bemusement. |

Re: Ronda Rousey vs Fallon Fox
Glad to see that Fox lost. I don't have a problem that Fox became a woman but I don't like that Fox would fight as a woman because the bone structure is still of a man. Good job Ashley.
