After trans-identified MMA fighter Alana McLaughlin used a chokehold to defeat opponent, Celine Provost, in their match on Friday, popular English broadcaster Piers Morgan said watching the match made him "sick."
Although Provost is a 32-year-old female that has over a decade of experience in competing in MMA, she lost her match to McLaughlin, a 38-year-old Army veteran who spent six years serving in the U.S. military as a male.
Morgan wrote an opinion piece published by The Daily Mail about the match for Combate Global at the Univision Center in Miami, calling it the "moment ideology met cold, hard reality."
The 56-year-old controversial journalist argued that Provost “couldn’t compete with the overwhelming physical strength of her opponent.”
“Provost’s punches bounced off McLaughlin like a baby lion’s off its father, and when she was pinned to the ground, she couldn’t move and quickly tapped out,” he described.
The controversial journalist pegged the trans-identified MMA fighter “a war hero” who served as a special force medical sergeant in Afghanistan in 2007 who helped “save many lives.”
He went on to say that his criticism of the fight does not mean that he does not empathize with the fact that McLaughlin’s mother disowned him when he underwent gender transition.
In an interview with The Guardian, McLaughlin describes growing up poor in South Carolina, being raped at just 5 years old by a farmer’s sons and how his family forced him into "conversion" programs.
Morgan called McLaughlin’s upbringing cruel and “appallingly bigoted” but stated that “Regardless of her military record or personal struggles growing up, none of this justifies what happened on Friday night.”
“I found the bout sickening to watch," Morgan wrote. "It was obvious very quickly that McLaughlin was too strong, and equally obvious that this strength came from the 33 years she spent as a biological man.”
Morgan brought attention to the restrictive hormone treatment that sports authorities make some biologically male trans-identified athletes take before competing in women’s sports. He said the treatments “do not reduce muscle density or power,” which he says creates “unfairness” in all sports. But in a combat sport like MMA, he argues it can create a “potentially deadly disparity.”
The United Kingdom native maintained that although he has been pegged by critics of his stance to be “transphobic” or a “scare-mongerer,” he is neither.
“I’ve always supported trans rights to fairness and equality,” Morgan insisted.
McLaughlin is the second trans-identified person to compete in women's MMA. Morgan said he saw “unfairness manifest itself with the first transgender MMA fighter, Fallon Fox, who served in the U.S. Navy then transitioned, became an MMA fighter, and won all but one fights.”
“In one of them, [Fox] fractured a woman's skull,” he continued. “I fear worse is to come.”
Following the victory on Friday, McLaughlin posted a message on Instagram to all those criticizing the win.
“Good morning, friends, supporters and others! I'm getting a lot of variations of the same nasty messages calling me a cheater like I didn't just get beat on for a round and a half,” the athlete wrote. “Y'all need to show Celine some respect and take your concern trolling elsewhere. She almost finished me more than once, and on scorecards, she definitely won that first round. This is the only post I'll make about this. Transphobes are just making my block hand stronger."
Following the match, McLaughlin wore a t-shirt saying: “END TRANS GENOCIDE.”
Morgan ended his op-ed stating that “the real crime going on here is against women’s sport.”

So if Mac got disoriented by evil circumstances, why should the society change their rules. It just extrapolates the evil.
Until we get men and women back in their correct bathrooms and sports teams, i say have at it.
This may be the only way to get women to stay in womens rooms and men to stsy in mens rooms, and be able to punish those who disregard the common sene so thoroughly trashed and ridiculed by the self labeled progressives.
Trans is wrong, no matter what gender is playing dress-up. Its a mental illness regardless of what psych experts may rationalize.
Serves ‘em right. Women’s sports are dyke social clubs.
Who the hell wants to watch women fight? I actually hope “she” kills or cripples one of “her” opponents because, apparently, it’s going to take something like that to shock this diseased culture out of its insanity. Who knows, maybe it would impel women to return to doing things they’re actually good at.
Why don’t women object to this obscenity
i hope he pounds every one of them till the wwf forbids it...
Women should absolutely refuse to compete against any trans person.
Piers still calls him “she”. Piers is part of the problem.
” I actually hope “she” kills or cripples one of “her” opponents because, apparently, it’s going to take something like that to shock this diseased culture out of its insanity.”
You read my mind.
The first in-ring death isn’t far away. There will be lawsuits and crying, pulling of hair and rending of garments.
The democrats will be out in force demanding the brain damaged men be allowed to kill more women.
The MSM will carry the dems water like always.
One day the only competitors in women’s sports will be brain damaged men.
“Who knows, maybe it would impel women to return to doing things they’re actually good at.”
That horse has left the barn.
The modern feminist movement won’t let that happen.
If women want to fight that is their right. The problem I have is with Trans females. Testosterone causes anatomical changes that simply don’t reverse with taking estrogen. Cardiac out put, lung volumes, upper body strength etc. I read about cardiac studies and it said use male values for trans females because lower end normal values for women are pathological for men. The fastest 300 meter female in the world is bested by over 300 high school males.
If this tranny nonsense gets rid of women sports.
My position is “good riddance.”
Why watch inferior adult athletes?
Besides, the entertainment sector is full of nonessential fat, that will get use to a “new diet” this decade.
When women can’t compete against their buddies in the LBGQT community, they’ll find new ways to “add value” to our nation. Producing a future generation would be a good start for those biological fit for the roll.

Neither of them seem very good, but she just got outmuscled by he.
I will have to disagree with you. Women’s sports have a place. Tennis, track and field, swimming, diving, skating, ski sports, softball and all sorts of women sports give young active women a great outlet. Lingerie Football and MMA not so much.
The problem with Title Nine was that in trying to repair negligence they succeeded in promoting some extreme idiocy in the name of “equality.” Like everything government does, it has deep flaws.
I have a grand daughter in cross country and I enjoy watching her compete.
The queers will make the libs realize their extreme woke idiocy is a mess.
Devious idea to beat up and abuse women. He is nothing but a perverted woman beater!
He just ate her punches until she gassed out then over powered her. Total freak show.
Where are the feminists fighting for women?
“I will have to disagree with you. Women’s sports have a place. Tennis, track and field, swimming, diving, skating, ski sports, softball and all sorts of women sports give young active women a great outlet.”
I probably went a little overboard with my commentary.
Thanks for bringing me back😀
I can’t really disagree with women playing any of the sports you mentioned.
I noticed none of them were football,boxing or MMA.(I have 0 interest in watching women who want to be tough guys)
The Left won't care. They'll point out that women have died in the ring being beaten by other biological women.
The Left cannot be reasoned with. They are a cult.
