Transgender MMA fighter Gita Figueroa is set to appear on Bear Grylls' show.

I Survived Bear Grylls is a competitive adventure series that premiered last night on May 18. As the name suggests, the show is hosted by renowned survival expert, Bear Grylls, who is most famous for his series Man vs. Wild and Jordan Conley.

Gita Figueroa a transgender MMA fighter has joined the show as a contestant. She recently took to Twitter to reveal the same and stated:

"I'll be on Bear Grylls new show!!!"

Take a look at her tweet below:

Figueroa, who is known to compete against men made her MMA debut last year at the World Class Fight League 31 and kicked off her professional career with a win. The transgender MMA fighter then returned to the cage for her second bout, this time against Shane Mistretta. However, she ended up losing the fight.

For her third bout of the year, Gita Figueroa took on Manny Pinto at World Class Fight League 33 in October last year. The 34-year-old encountered the same fate and ended up losing the bout via first-round TKO.

As of now, Gita Figueroa seems to have taken a step away from MMA as she competed in her first kickboxing bout earlier this year. In her kickboxing debut, she went up against Brittany Vaughn and secured a split-decision victory.
