RIPPED! Felice Herrig Continues to Shred, Posts New Mirror Selfie Two Day Out From Weigh-Ins

UFC star, Felice Herrig.

UFC strawweight Felice Herrig continues to show off her impressive physique just days before her next fight.

Starting to feel that " too skinny " feel but I still have lots of energy and feel strong. To most people who don't know the sport they would say things like " ewww too skinny. Eat something " but that's the thing about this sport. You do what you have to do to make weight. And I try and do it in the most healthy way I possibly can. I train hard and eat right without starving myself. But, yes the scale does have to say 116 when I step on it. So the last few days I do have to eat very little and cut water. It is one of the hardest parts of this sport. It is not something myself or any other fighter does by choice or for aesthetic purposes. To me there are 2 fights before the actual fight 1- the grueling training camp 2- the weight cut and then there is the fight itself. I hope people stop to educate themselves on the sport of mma before making comments like " ewww too skinny " Call it what it really is- hard work, discipline and dedication

On Wednesday, Herrig posted a picture of her sculpted figure on her Instagram. She talked about her struggles with weight cutting, but also said it was necessary in order to compete.

“I hope people stop to educate themselves on the sport of mma before making comments like ” ewww too skinny”.” Herrig wrote in her caption. “Call it what it really is- hard work, discipline and dedication.”

Herrig will fight in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night event in Houston, Texas. She will fight undefeated prospect Alexa Grasso.

Herrig is coming off a submission win over Kailin Curran in July. She also has a submission win over Lisa Ellis in the UFC. In Bellator, Herrig has another notable win over Heather Jo Clark.

Grasso is undefeated with nine wins. She made her UFC debut in her last fight. In November, she won a decision against Jo Clark. In Invicta FC, Grasso has notable wins over Jodie Esquibel and Mizuki Inoue.
