Transgender fighter Alana McLaughlin wins MMA debut

Alana McLaughlin, the second openly transgender woman to compete in MMA in the United States, won her debut Friday night via submission at the Combate Global prelims in Miami, Fla.

 

The 38-year-old used a rear-naked choke against Celine Provost to end the match 3 minutes, 32 seconds into the second round.

 

McLaughlin, who began her gender transition after leaving the U.S. Army Special Forces in 2010, said she hopes to be a pioneer for transgender athletes in combat sports.

 

“I want to pick up the mantle that Fallon put down,” McLaughlin told Outsports before the fight, referring to Fallon Fox, who in 2012 became the first transgender woman to fight in MMA. “Right now, I’m following in Fallon’s footsteps. I’m just another step along the way and it’s my great hope that there are more to follow behind me.”

UK ‘Doctor Who’ actress Tanya Fear missing after moving to LA

 

Friends of a British actress who starred in the TV series “Doctor Who” have launched a huge manhunt after she went missing just two months after moving to Hollywood.

 

Tanyaradzwa “Tanya” Fear, a 31-year-old actress who was also in the movie “Kick-Ass 2,” had only just moved to LA, where she had also started performing stand-up comedy gigs, her manager told Sky News.

 

Her family reported her missing last Thursday — with friends taking to the streets of Hollywood to search for her, plastering the area with missing-person posters, according to a Twitter account set up as part of the hunt.

 

The official fan account for “Doctor Who” was among those tweeting the poster in a huge push to find Fear.

 

A cousin of the London-born actress also begged for help online, saying Fear “has no family in the US and we’re all really worried.”

 

The @FindTanyaFear account — which says it is run by her family — says she “has a distinct British accent, is 5ft4, weighs about 140lbs” and has brown eyes and curly black hair.
