UFC Vet Julian Erosa Challenges Pretend Woman Lia Thomas To A Fight So He Can 'Beat That Dude's Ass'

UFC Fighter Julian Erosa Challenges Pretend Woman Lia Thomas To A Fight So He Can 'Beat That Dude's Ass': UFC veteran fighter Julian Erosa threw down a challenge after winning his undercard bout on Saturday - calling out swimmer Lia Thomas and telling him to become an MMA fighter. During the post-fight press conference, Erosa spoke about how he didn't like cheaters and specifically called out Thomas. As a part of his challenge, Erosa told Thomas to become an MMA fighter - before strangely volunteering to medically transition to being a woman himself. Erosa said, 'I wanted to encourage her, or encourage him, to transition from women's swimming into women's MMA - and then I'll transition to become a woman, and I'm going to beat that dude's ass.' Then, just seconds after suggesting that he wanted to become a trans-woman for this challenge, Erosa went on to talk about how unfair it is for trans-women to compete in women's sports.
