        Male-born transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox won the fight with Allanna Jones tonight, big surprise. Allanna tapped out because Fallon Fox got that deadly knee in the girl’s throat. For those unfamiliar, tapped out means the opponent submits because they got their ass kicked. What happened to Jones tonight was Fox crushed her airway so she couldn’t breath and cut off the blood flow from her carotid artery and jugular vein and all the blood got trapped in her head. You’re all fucked up and could easily die so you submit and tap out.

She’s lucky Fox didn’t break her neck and kill her, which is why she had to tap out. If you watch it you can see the woman’s face when Fox cuts off her air way and the blood gets trapped in the bitch’s face. She got choked out.
 

The most interesting part of the fight was seeing how well that small girl Jones can fight, and what a  lumbering fuck Fox is, who clearly barely even trains. Fox knows she doesn’t have to and she’ll just win. It’s the whole point in fighting women, for it to be easy and so Fox can be lazy. Because Fox can’t fight, she couldn’t get near Jones for two rounds but finally choked her out with that killer knee, a knee biological women do not have. Watch a video of it, Fox has no technique and no endurance. Fox is a CHEATER and she KNOWS she is. 

        Of course afterwards the fight the commentator was like “Did we just debunk all the concerns about Fox’s advantage because the girl went three rounds with Fox”? Which is of course the question Fox wants asked. Fox intended for the fight to last more than 40 seconds. But Fox isn’t used to having to actually fight and last 3 rounds though, she wasn’t happy it went as long as it did. The other commentator who answered the question of course saw what a bad fighter Fox is and commented that she relies too much on strength which is obvious to anyone who has even a cursory knowledge of fighting.

For people who don’t know a thing about fighting they’ll say oh loooook the girl went 3 rounds, not so much of an advantage. But anyone who is remotely familiar can see Fox relies on strength like the commentator pointed out. She relies on being a stronger and more massive opponent and that is all. Fox can NOT fight. Rhonda Rousey would beat Fox’s ass if Fox didn’t clobber her face in with that male born knee. Even still, it doesn’t matter. It’s not fair. Jones was in GREAT shape. She was still popping up and down, active, while Fox stumbled around like Lurch. But Fox still won. Wonder why?

I’ve been thinking about this, actually. My guess would be that this drastic variation occurs for a few reasons.

1) Spanish, French, and Italian are all Romance languages derived from Latinate languages (English is actually a mix of Latinate and Germanic languages, with some Hellenic ones thrown in, but that’s another story.)

2) These Romantic languages (including English) isolating languages in that they have relatively few morphemes (meaningful units of sound) per word, and in these languages, the words tend to be shorter. The morphemes, or sounds, generally don’t have a meaning on their own, but derive meaning from context (as in, the word they are in). Think about it, on it’s own a vowel is just a sound.

3) On this note, German is a polysynthetic language, which means that morphemes actually have meaning and that you can stick a bunch together into one word to combine their meanings. You can have a word for ‘person who loves to write’ or ‘thing that flies in the air’ because of the possibility of combination. If you look at the word for science in the above image, you’ll probably recognize the beginning as similar to our word ‘nature,’ and since I don’t speak German, my guess is that the word has something to do with ‘describing nature.’

Anyway, linguistics and language variation is neat.
