UFC star Jorge Masvidal fired off a tweet Monday about his concerns when it came to biological women and transgender women competing in sports.

Masvidal’s tweet came on the heels of transgender University of Pennsylvania swimming star Lia Thomas winning a national championship in the 500 free. Masvidal suggested he was concerned for his daughter about the future of sports.

"What sport is left that is still biological girls vs biological girls? Want to put my daughter in a sport that is still fair to her," he tweeted.

Thomas’ prowess in the pool has been under the national spotlight for the last few months and sparked a debate over whether transgender women should be competing against biological women.

Through the debate, Thomas picked up a win in the 500-yard freestyle on Thursday. She set a program record with a 4:33.24 mark. Thomas was about three seconds off Georgia Tech’s pool record, which was set by Leah Smith of Virginia in 2016 with a mark of 4:30.81. Katie Ledecky holds the NCAA record with a 4:24.06 at the national championships.

In this race, Thomas beat out Virginia freshman Emma Weyant by more than one second and Texas freshman Erica Sullivan by at least two. Brooke Forde, who won a silver medal at the Olympics in Tokyo over the summer in the 4x200-meter freestyle, raced for Stanford and finished in fourth with a 4:36.18.
