Melissa Lori is an accomplished model and ring girl. However, last year, the model was in for more than she was initially ready for.
After going the distance in his bout, MMA fighter Andrew Whitney realized things were not going to go his way in the decision. After the announced loss, the fighter reacted with a random punch. The strike just so happen to be launched dead set into the face of Melissa Lori.
Shortly after last year’s incident, Melissa Lori took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the situation.
“2 days ago I got punched in the face accidentally by an mma champion on national tv. I thought this was a nightmare and I was completely mortified. I have had people writing nasty comments and laughing thinking this was a joke. This was no joke and yes I am lucky to have walked out of the ring with just a sore chin. The fighter and I hugged afterwards and he apologized. Now I can laugh about the exposure it is bringing me. Bang that till you pass out ???? chin of steel baby.”
