My role models are every single woman that steps inside of the cage – inside of an octagon, inside a ring, or on a mat – and proves to themselves and to others that they can do what they need to do. Those are my heroes. Those are my sheroes. Those are the people that I look up to. Fallon Fox Read Quote
I consider myself a woman. I happen to fall into the transgender category, but I rather describe myself as a woman first. Fallon Fox Read Quote
For years I’ve known at some point it’s very likely the shoe would drop. Maybe someone would guess that I’m trans. Maybe they would know me from my life before I transitioned. Fallon Fox Read Quote
I don’t believe that a transgender fighter should have to disclose her personal medical history to other female fighters before they fight. Fallon Fox Read Quote
The techniques that you learn as a male fighter are the same techniques you learn as a female fighter. Fallon Fox Read Quote
I remember when I first came out, it was like half and half, half the female fighters were like, ‘I understand why she did it, and I’ll fight her,’ and half said I shouldn’t be in the cage and said horrible, horrific transphobic comments about me. Fallon Fox Read Quote

I’m very good at submissions from the ground. I have good takedowns and good striking, so I’m pretty well-rounded. Fallon Fox Read Quote
