When UFC champion Jon Jones defended transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox after criticism from UFC star

Jon Jones once came to the defense of transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox when a fellow UFC star verbally attacked her during an interview in April 2013.

'The Queen of Swords' is no stranger to facing harsh criticism from MMA fans, the media, and fellow fighters due to her competing in professional mixed martial arts as a transgender fighter.

However, former UFC fighter Matt Mitrione once took things to another level when he brutally lambasted Fox during his appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.

After Mitrione's interview on The MMA Hour, where he viciously insulted Fallon Fox, 'Bones' defended the transgender MMA fighter during a UFC 159 presser in April 2013. In an interview with MMA Junkie, Jones said:

"I think he's terrible for that... I think Fallon Fox, that's a strong person... I'm a fan of that person because of what they've gone through and what they're willing to go through. People like Matt Mitrione are scumbags. He's a scumbag. I don't care if he's off suspension or doesn't fight again. He's a ridiculous person... He's scum."
