I'll believe it when they run the post-fight analysis. Until then, it's just two people on the Internet trading shittalk, and we all know what that's worth in the real world.

This is just the first contender. His challenge is to fight 10 TiFs in one night. There are still 9 slots to fill.

Can you even find that many in MMA though?

Yeah, I think you’re right and I can’t see a legit MMA organisation sanctioning a match like this, and it’s lose-lose for the male MMA fighter - either you win and congrats you beat up a mentally ill girl or you lose and you got beat by a mentally ill girl.

I think a Polish MMA organisation tried hosting Male vs Female fights and they were just upsetting to watch even as you knew that the women had knowingly signed up for the fight (it wasn’t troons pretending like Fallon Fox).

However, I think the MMA fighter making the challenge is fully aware they're going to lose their reputation, but is willing to do so to prove the point of "See? This person got destroyed because they couldn't even dream of being a fair fight for me. Hell, I could have let them bring a gun to the ring and they still would have been destroyed. I regret having to destroy this person, but you can tell people something's wrong, you can respectfully inform them something's wrong, you can beg and plead with them to not do it for their own safety- but eventually the only way you have a chance to stop the person is to let them do it and find out for themselves."

Pound for pound men have the advantage, but it would be interesting to start out with something like Gabi Garcia vs Mighty Mouse.

Mack Beggs, a trans-identified female, has accepted former UFC fighter Jake Shields' challenge to a fight. According to Outkick, Beggs accepted the offer in a now deleted instagram post and said, "I’m specifically going to $@#% you up Jake Shields."

On April 20th, Shields challenged the 10 toughest trans men in the world to a fight. After 5 hours the post had over a million views, but still no challengers. Shields said, "I fight them with no training camp and no rest between each fight."

Beggs said in a statement, "We are just going to make this an official call out, but Jake Shields I will take you up on your offer."

"But the offer isn’t going to be 10 versus one and 10 trans men you’re going to be fighting for the rest of the night," Beggs continued.

"You’re going to do it right. If you’re going to call yourself a fighter do it fuckng right. Like, that’s just fucking disrespectful. It’s disrespectful to the sport of MMA for you to just be like ‘oh yeah let me just call out 10 trans men and I’ll fucking whoop them,'" Beggs said. "It’s the fact that y’all are so fixated and hyper-fixated and have some fucking fetish with trans women that you even forget that we fucking out here and we going to fuck you up."

Shields responded to the news on Twitter where he said, "My offer is legit so have they/them contact me and they can start putting together their team."

Shields posted a picture of Beggs and said, "this thing thinks it can beat me in a fight."

Someone's going to get her skull fractured.

I randomly listened to a drama on BBCA radio 4 about a FtM who took up boxing to prove to herself what a man she was.

Apparently it was fine she lost every fight because the main part of being a man was losing with dignity and picking yourself up again for the next fight.

Said no male pro athlete ever.

I'm the same height and weight as Miss Mack, and you would not believe how easy it is for men to carry me with one arm.

Mack is going to get destroyed.

Mack is going to get destroyed.

Sadly, I think you’re right. And I say sadly because no one will step in, assert reality and stop the fight occurring for fear of hurting Mack’s feelings and angering “the community” and as a result she will get hurt and I don’t want to see any one hurt even if I think they’re wrong about everything.

God, please televise it. No matter who wins, it'll be gold.

Jake Shields is 44 though, he might slip a disc in the middle of the fight. He better fucking deliver.
