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