MMA fighter Ross Johnson has been charged with manslaughter after killing an airman in a fight outside of a Florida bar, according to Global News. Johnson punched the man behind the ear and did not seek help for him, telling a witness, “I think I killed him,” Daily Mail reported.

The Facebook video appears to show Fox throwing an opponent to the floor before a referee steps in. Fox is then named the winner and remarks that she’s feeling excellent and that “every woman in this tournament better look out.”

“Remember when Transgender Mma Fighter Fallon Fox Beat Opponent In 39 Seconds Fracturing Her Skull,” the caption reads. “It has always been known men should not hit women. But if a man dresses as a woman it’s ok to fight women??”
