Watch MMA fighter Ronda Rousey geek out about Pokemon. It's adorable.

Maybe I'm a bit biased because I'll be using my own experiences combined with what I know about the changes that do occur from male to female. Being born classified male, and as such transitioning to female, and "completeing the process, with SRS" at 30 really would not give much of an advantage that comes innately with being male.

You are being baised based on your own personal experiences. There isn't any scientific proof to show that MTF lose their muscle mass and become weaker when they transition to becoming a female.

Because of this major lack of testosterone, it becomes harder to build muscle for those who have transitioned from male to female

While that is probably true, what about if you were a male body builder and then decided to become female? Do your muscles disappear as you take hormone treatment when you are transitioning if you continue to work out at the same level? I'm pretty sure that there isn't any conclusive research to prove that you do, but Fallon was in the military and most likely was physically active before becoming a MMA fighter. It would be wrong to ignore that someone who decided to become a transgender MMA fighter had a better than average body strength as a male for 30 years of her life.

All in all, I do find myself frustrated that when faced with even an elementary understanding of how the body works, people want to jump on the, "hur durr..... they have an advantage... hurrr durrr" wagon.

I have never said that. I said that you can't ignore the fact that Fallon was born male and went through a male puberty cycle as well as participated in the army which was physically demanding and probably made her an odd case for wanting to fight in Womans MMA. If a male who was at the age of 16 decided to become a MTF and then later in life decided that she wanted to become a fighter, that scenario would be completely different. I don't get why anyone assumed I was trying to say that transgender people shouldn't be allowed in competitive combat sports, but that Fallon's case is different due to not having enough research and her being a males body for 30 years while doing physical activities that could have possibly make her stronger than an average man.
