38 y/o Alana McLaughlin won her first match in the Combate Global Prelims against Celine Provost ending the match with a rear naked chocke 3 minutes and 32 seconds into the second round The South Carolina native began transitioning in 2010 after spending 6 years in the United States Special Forces Her victory yet again prompted backlash from people who say it's unfair for a trans woman to compete against cis gendered athletes in the sports McLaughlin responded "I'm getting a lot of variations of the same nasty messages clalin gme a cheater like i didn't just get beat on for a round a half. Y'all need to show Celine Provost some respect and take your concern trolling elsewhere. Transphones are just making my block hand stronger" She's the second openly trans athlete to fight in the MMA profesionally in the US following Fallon Fox who made history in 2012 in her debut McLaughlin said she wants to pick the up mantle that Fox put down in this sport and says she's following her footsteps She's been training for more than a year in preparation for this fight but it was delayed when Provost tested positive for COVID back in August She was born "Ryan" who cleared a hormone panel issed by the Florida State Boxing Commission but noted it was a "nightmare" finding an opponent for the fight She said she has nothing but respect for Celine but social media was not kind on her however as sports podcast Angela David Castro said "She spent 5 years as a woman meaning she lived 33 years her life as a man.".. Another said "I think people can identify with whatever they like but i don't think this as a place in combat sports" McLaughlin said she wants to see more trans athletes and to see more opportunities for them and that they have to work theirw ay into those spaces to make it happen and wants it to be more normalized Do you have a problem with this? https://i.imgur.com/ZCmjEt2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5hRxxbY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AOx9x4U.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IJ4AJJy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Bdt3ggT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3bEgaLE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/k3GAwkd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/b9zJvPX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3Jw8Hzq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MYdaKIb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yMX7sX5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/2fr8jX3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8TsrTi7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/M0Wsi8O.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IHopqSd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/oWQCHKS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vKIGaTt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nL2V6lJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7KBmyTo.jpg --- The News Will Continue...For Now call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.
