In an interesting turn of events, former UFC fighter Jake Shields issued a challenge last month to 'the toughest trans men' for a match, and a brave contender has stepped forward. Mack Beggs, a young athlete from Texas who transitioned from female to male, has declared on Instagram that he is ready to face Shields in the octagon. Initially, Shields stated that he received no response from the trans fighter community and revised his proposal to include battling former UFC fighter Mike Jackson and 10 trans fighters at the same time. 'This is a serious offer go get your team ready,' Shields confidently tweeted on April 20.

However, Mack Beggs expressed a desire to go head-to-head with Shields rather than participate in the revised offer. 'We just going to make this an official call out, but Jake Shields I will take you up on your offer,' Beggs announced through OutKick. He continued to assert that the match should not be 10 versus one with 10 trans men, but instead should be a one-on-one duel. Beggs emphasized the importance of executing the fight properly, asserting that if Shields wants to be considered a real fighter, he needs to do it right.

Beggs firmly stated that Shields' initial challenge of fighting 10 trans men at once demonstrated disrespect to the sport of MMA, and that it's not appropriate to claim he could 'whoop them' in such a manner. At just 24 years old, Beggs highlighted the potential bias and fixation that Shields, and others who share his mindset, may have with transgender individuals in defending the integrity of trans fighters. 'It’s the fact that y’all are so fixated and hyper-fixated and have some f---ing fetish with trans women that you even forget that we f---ing out here, and we going to f--- you up,' Beggs passionately stated.
