Well, it appears as though one trans fighter is willing to step up and accept the challenge. Former Texas state wrestling champion Mack Beggs, a female wrestler who identifies as a man, took to Instagram and accepted Shields\u2019 challenge.<\/p>\n<p>  Beggs took it up a notch by posting a video in which she called it \u201cdisrespectful\u201d for Shields to be challenging ten trans men as opposed to doing a 1 v 1.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cWe still here, bro,\u201d Beggs said. \u201cWe\u2019re still here and we\u2019ve always been here. It\u2019s the fact that you all are so hyper fixated and have some fetish with trans women that you even forget that we are out here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Beggs put an exclamation point on her video.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cI\u2019m specifically going to f*ck you up Jake Shields personally,\u201d she asserted.<\/p>\n<p> Beggs may view Shields\u2019 challenge as \u201cdisrespectful.\u201d Though, it\u2019s certainly not unprecedented. George Foreman fought and knocked out 5 men in one night in 1975 as he was rebuilding himself following his loss to Muhammad Ali.<\/p>\n<p> Of course, Beggs is 24, and may not be aware of that.<\/p>\n<p> Shields is a former Elite XC, Shooto, and Strikeforce\u00a0champion. A California native, Shields is 44 years old and hasn\u2019t fought in a cage or ring in two years. But, he is friends with Nate Diaz, which means he\u2019s probably been in more fights outside the cage over the last two years than any active fighters in the cage.<\/p>\n<p> The point of Shields\u2019 tweet was to illustrate the absurdity of women fighting men. A point Shields made when talking to another Twitter user.<\/p>\n<p>   When Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs clashed on the tennis court they called it the \u201cBattle of the Sexes.\u201d I must confess, I\u2019m not sure what to call this one. Shields did acknowledge Beggs\u2019 acceptance of the challenge and details are reportedly being hammered out.<\/p>\n<p> Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When thinking back on the mistakes she\u2019s made in her life, Mack Beggs is likely to lament the day she decided to fight Jake Shields.
