WATCH: Fighter Julian Erosa Challenges Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas to Join UFC So He Can ‘Beat That Dude’s A**’
UFC fighter Julian Erosa has challenged transgender swimmer Lia Thomas to become an MMA fighter so that he can “beat that dude’s ass.”
Erosa made the call out during a press conference after his first-round submission victory at UFC Vegas 89.
“I was going to say that I don’t like cheaters, and I don’t know how you guys feel about this whole situation, but I don’t like cheaters, and so I wanted to call out Lia Thomas,” Erosa said.
Erosa continued, “I wanted to encourage her to — or encourage him — to transition from women’s swimming into women’s MMA, and then I’ll transition to becoming a woman, and I’m going to beat that dude’s ass.”
Julian Erosa planned to call out Lia Thomas during his post-win octagon interview at #UFCVegas89.
