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."
