The case of Fallon Fox – who used to be a man and now identifies as a woman – has brought up legal issues and safety concerns, experts said.

A mere three years ago, "Rowdy" Bec Hyatt was, to use her own words, "an elephant."

"I think I was grossly overweight," Hyatt said on Monday's edition of "The MMA Hour. "Alot of people ask me for before-and-after photos but I literally hid from the camera. I called myself an elephant. I was pretty big, I lost 30 kilos [roughly 66 pounds] all out. I'm quite little, but…

After yesterday's pre-fight press conference for UFC 155, Dana White commented on Gilbert Melendez's future in the octagon.

It's a wonder (or not) why Dana White has failed to speak about Melendez in the past. But after Benson Henderson dominated Nate Diaz for 5 rounds earlier this month, White has finally spoken out about Gil in the UFC.

White told reporters that Melendez's first bout in the UFC would likely be a title shot.
