It looks like Felice Herrig will be making a return to the Octagon. The veteran women’s MMA fighter has been battling injuries, including a torn ACL, for most of the past two years. But the 35-year-old has been booked for a strawweight fight against Virna Jandiroba at UFC 252 in August, according to ESPN.
Herrig (14-8, 5-3 UFC) comes in on a two-fight losing streak, dropping decisions to Michelle Waterson and Karolina Kowalkiewicz in 2018. Before that, she had rung up a four-fight winning streak. Despite the long layoff, Herring hung around the 115-pound rankings until just recently.
