Controversial transgender mixed martial artist Fallon Fox has suffered the first loss of her professional MMA career to the relatively unknown Ashlee Evans-Smith. The loss came via third-round technical knockout at Championship Fighting Alliance in a featherweight title fight.

The first round saw Fox attempt to pull guard almost immediately. However, the move failed and Evans-Smith was showing off strong grappling chops, nearly securing a choke from the back. Fox would escape and land some powerful punches and knees that nearly won her the fight, while Evans-Smith would barely survive the round.

The tables turned in a profound way in the second. Evans-Smith rocked Fox early and laid down a massive amount of punches and knees from side control, mount and crucifix positions. There was controversy at the end of round, as the referee motioned to end the fight and was unable to hear that the bell had rung just seconds earlier.
