Transgender fighter Alana McLaughlin's big win against a woman

      

 Headlines were made when Alana McLaughlin beat Celine Provost after three minutes and 32 seconds of the second round in her UFC debut at the beginning of September.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 For LGBTQ advocates, Alana McLaughlin’s mixed martial arts win last week was a historic transgender-rights moment, but among those raising red flags were some prominent male fighters.                                                                                                       McLaughlin dabbled in Mixed Martial Arts having previously been a part of the US special forces more than a decade ago, after which she began her treatment to become a woman.McLaughlin is no giant at 5-foot-7 and 145 pounds — Provost is several inches taller — but other fighters pointed to her muscular frame. UFC star  O'Malley, though, took to his podcast to explain how he doesn't believe the situation is right for women fighters.

"I just don't think that's okay in just competing in sports, I mean, especially mixed martial arts," O'Malley said.

"It's like she had testosterone for, who knows, 20 or 30 years of her life and now is a girl.

"You could tell that's a dude. A jacked girl. I mean, look at those arms.
