Heres what he said.
He began with a story mentioning that he watched the classic film “The Silence of the Lambs” last week, and likened Fox to the film’s antagonist, serial killer Jame Gumb, who went by the nickname “Buffalo Bill.”
“Maybe instead of being ‘the Queen of Swords,’ Fallon Fox should consider being “The King of the Buffalos,” he said.
Repeatedly referring to Fox as “he” and “him,” Mitrione said after viewing Fox’s fight videos, he hadn’t “seen a man beat a woman like that since Chris Brown beat Rihanna. That is exceptional how he just beats innocent, unknowing women like that. Incredible.”
After telling another joke, host Ariel Helwani asked Mitrione, “Why do you hate Fallon Fox so much, and why do you keep calling she a ‘he’?”
“Because she’s not a he. He’s a he,” he said. “He’s chromosomally a man. He had a gender change, not a sex change. He’s still a man. He was a man for 31 years. Thirty-one years. That’s a couple years younger than I am. He’s a man. Six years of taking performance de-hancing drugs, you think is going to change all that? That’s ridiculous.
“That is a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak,” he continued. “And I mean that. Because you lied on your license to beat up women. That’s disgusting. You should be embarrassed yourself. And the fact that Florida licensed him because California licensed him or whoever the hell did it, it’s an embarrassment to us as fighters, as a sport, and we all should protest that. The woman that’s fighting him, props to you. I hope you beat his ass, and I hope he gets blackballed and never fights again, because that’s disgusting and I’m appalled by that.”

Go see all of the anti-MMA/anti-UFC retorich the Unions in New York are throwing around and then ask yourself why Mitrione was suspended? I don't disagree with Mitrione's thoughts however, we're so close to making New York happen and this is just the type of controversy the Unions would love to quote in order to ensure NY never happens.
Rogan's argument, though similar, used a little more tact.

she treated him with a courtesy she didn't receive.
by the way, i have trained both BJJ and Muay Thai against women.
She still has to make the weight so talking about Brock Lesnar makes no sense.

"Not only is this man beating up women, he's an ******* too", people would say.

She genetically was born a man and she genetically is is a man.
I don't care what you do to your body, you're still a man.
Again, if Shaq gets his genital area modified, would he be eligible to play in the WNBA?
No, he won't, neither does Fallon have a place in WMMA either.
Edit: Yes, Matt's comments were unnecessary. No need to call Fallon any of the things he did, he should have just stopped when by saying Fallon shouldn't be fighting women and that's it.
