Close fight but the right decision.

Maybe now she can fight Michelle or rematch Paige as they're all coming off losses.

From Felice's IG:

Quote:
I’m excited to announce my next fight! On Oct 6th I will fight Michelle Waterson. Some of you don’t know, but Michelle and go way back to the days when women in MMA was not even a thought. We were on the Muay Thai reality show “fight girls” together. Everyone always talked about us fighting then but we never did. Michelle and I are both veterans now and I am happy we are both still in the game together and here at the highest level. We’ve both come a long way since Fight Girls. And here we both are 11 years later fighting each other.
So they're fighting on the UFC 229 McGregor/Nurmagomedov undercard. Probably the prelims but it would be a great fight to kick off the PPV.

So Felice lost again in her fight against Michelle Waterson.

At 34, you start to wonder whether it's time to call it a career.

She's at a point where it's going to be difficult to make any serious impact on the 115 division. I think it has become somewhat of a dead-end.

One option would be to follow JoJo Calderwood and PVZ and explore the 125 division. Following her on IG, the "cut" to 115 is a very big deal for Felice, dieting down for weeks and dehydrating before the weigh ins. You can see how ripped, dry and depleted she looks. The older you get, the longer it takes the body to recover from weight cutting. Felice looked kind of slow and sluggish compared to Michelle, who is a natural 105lb fighter, lighter and not as depleted by the cut.

My advice, go up to 125 and fight Lauren Mueller, who is struggling to get someone to fight her.

I would also like to see her fight Aleksandra Albu.

PVZ/Ostovich loser would also be an option (if that fight happens).

It seems clear, Felice is just in it to be a "fun fight" fighter now or sacrificial lamb for up and comers.

That was a really bad interview. I don't have a problem with any worker trying to get the best deal they can. I also don't have a problem with owners trying to make as much money as they can. The more the events make, the more the fighters will have an opportunity to earn. But Felice doesn't need to be talking publicly about someone else's money.

Felice is pretty, but by her own words, she hasn't sold herself very well within the UFC. "I got on the phone and texted Dana" is not effective self-promotion. She hasn't demonstrated or proven that she's got much value to the company. This forum has several women's MMA fans. How many have ever bought a Felice Herrig fight?

Can she and Paige make 125 entertaining? Meh. For me, they are eye candy, but they're just not good enough to get me to pay to watch them fight. Felice can keep being fodder for the real fighters until she times out in a couple of years.

And then she can charge $1000/hr for sessions.

Felice tore her ACL a little over a year ago while training for UFC 238 where she was scheduled to face Yan Xiaonan. She needed surgery on her knee and has been on the shelf since. She hasn't competed since Oct. 2018 when she lost to Michelle Waterson.

She's back to training and hopefully will fight again soon. I think Yan (12-1, wins over Angela Hill, Karolina K) would have been too much for her anyway. I'd like to see her fight Alex Albu. That would be a fun fight.

During "lockdown" Felice has been skilling up her artistic side, losing her blonde hair and shamelessly posting feet pics. Here are some of the highlights of the last few months.

Here's the match video of Virna Jandiroba vs Felice Herrig from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. Virna is 32 years old from Bahia, Brazil. She trains at her home town gym Academia Fight House owned by veteran fighter Renato Velame. She is a former Invicta Strawweight Champion. Virna's main skill is judo. Her striking is sub par. Felice is 35 years old from Chicago. She is returning from reconstructive knee surgery. Felice is mainly a kickboxer.

I like Felice (ever since she gave an emotional interview, some years ago), but she had no chance here!
