The UFC is known for not pulling punches and apparently that applies to its announcers.
Joe Rogan, popular voice of the UFC, let loose with lefts and rights on his podcast when the subject turned to transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox.
When asked about Fox's eligibility to fight against females in the octagon, Rogan let out his own haymakers recently during his popular podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience", according to TMZ.
"She calls herself a woman, but...I tend to disagree," Rogan said. "She used to be a man...but now she has had, she's a transgender which is (the) official term that means you've gone through it, right? And she wants to be able to fight women in MMA. I say no f**king way."
Rogan gained notoriety hosting the TV show "Fear Factor" in the early 2000s. He also hosted the reboot of the series that aired in 2011, but he's been the voice of the UFC since it's infancy in 1997. Before you dismiss him as just a talking head or fight fanboy, it should be noted that Rogan has studied martial arts since he was 14. He is also a four-time state Karate champion and holds a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu.
During the seven minute rant, Rogan affirms his belief that Fox should be treated with dignity in all facets of her life and be allowed to live as she pleases, but should not be allowed to fight women in MMA, citing that although she may have gone through gender reassignment surgery, she's still possesses too much male physiology.
"I say if you had a d*ck at one point in time, you also have all the bone structure that comes with having a d*ck. You have bigger hands, you have bigger shoulder joints. You're a f*cking man. That's a man, OK?," Rogan said. "I don't care if you don't have a d*ck any more. You're a man without a d*ck."
Fallon Fox has been in two fights, both she dominated. Her third fight is scheduled in Florida on April 20, according to Awfulannouncing.com. Sports Illustrated reports the 37-year-old fighter's license is currently under review by the Florida Dept. of Business and Professional Regulation.
