Tate voiced her opinion to ESPN.com:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t do it,&#8221; Tate said, &#8220;If there was solid research that proved she&#8217;s 100% like a female, then I might consider it. &#8221; She went on, &#8220;I have nothing against transgender people. You should live your life however you want. It&#8217;s about fighter safety. I wouldn&#8217;t feel comfortable getting in with someone who is a woman but developed as a man. I just don&#8217;t think it would be safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tate believes that there is an unfair advantage to a fighter who has developed as a man over many years, and that there may be certain added risks in fighting someone like Fox. What of larger mma organizations? What will they think of someone fighting in a women&#8217;s division who was a man for most of their life? There is no doubt a difference in strength and power when men and women are compared, and you consider the difference in natural physique.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if she&#8217;d fight Fox, Miesha Tate cannot be bothered, as she is already scheduled to fight Cat Zingano. A fight in which the two will square off for the #1 spot to see who will be next to attempt to dethrone UFC Women&#8217;s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey.<\/p>\n<p>The fight takes place next month at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale on April 13.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC Women&#8217;s Bantamweight Contender went on the record recently on whether or not she&#8217;d be willing to fight Fallon Fox, a female fighter who recently came out to admit that she in fact is a transgendered woman.
