Fallon Fox is a former American MMA fighter who openly admitted to being transgender. Fox during her time faced a lot of criticism and now, 10 years after her retirement still finds herself in various controversies.
Recently Fox called out the CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk for something that she found very disrespectful. Musk commented on a Twitter post that was basically accusing Fallon Fox of severely injuring her opponent. The post was made in a way to show that Fox being transgender and fighting against a woman was not right and organizers who allowed the fight should be ashamed.
Fox didn’t appreciate that at all and wrote in her official Twitter account, “Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, over here commenting on a video that is OBVIOUSLY doctored to make me sound like a man. Wtf.” In that tweet, Musk didn’t write anything except two explanatory symbols with no other context but according to Fox, it was not professional from Musk’s side.
Fallon Fox comments on breaking her opponent’s skull
Fox left MMA back in 2014 after facing a lot of criticism from the MMA community as well as various originations. She has a record of 5-1 and her last win also was in 2014 against Tamikka Brents.
In 2020, Fox was given the ‘Bravest Athlete’ award however, Internet personality and M.D. Dr. Anatasia Loupis made a tweet speaking against the retired fighter. She mentioned that Fox should not be celebrated as she broke the skulls of two of her opponents in the past.
In 2020, Fox snapped back at her critics and mentioned that she only broke one of her opponents’ skulls, not two, and other claims are just baseless. In a deleted tweet she wrote: “For the record, I knocked two out. One woman’s skull was fractured, the other not. And just so you know, I enjoyed it. See, I love smacking up TEFS (sic) in the cage who talk transphobic nonsense. It’s bliss!” Fox still gets a lot of negative comments online for being a transgender fighter almost ten years ago and doesn’t like being treated like this at all.
