A torn ACL will prevent Felice Herrig from competing as expected at UFC 238.
The strawweight fighter announced her injury in a video posted on Instagram. As a result, Herrig has withdrawn from her bout against Xiaonan Yan.
“Hello. Uh, crutches. That’s never a good thing, and it’s not,” Herrig said. “Unfortunately Friday I tore my ACL, and I do need surgery, which means that I will not be fighting on [UFC 238], which is a bummer for sure. I just want to say I’m sorry to the fans, to the UFC and most definitely my opponent.
