An interesting matchup in the UFC’s strawweight division is currently in the works for the promotion’s return to Chicago late this Spring. Raphael Marinho of the Brazilian sports outlet Combate is reporting that the UFC is looking to book Felice Herrig opposite Yan Xiaonan at UFC 238 in June.
Felice Herrig
Felice Herrig (14-8-0) opened her UFC career with a 5-1 mark that included triumphs over opposition including Alexa Grasso, Justine Kish, and Cortney Casey. Most recently the Chicago-based strawweight has fallen on hard times, dropping back-to-back bouts to Poland’s Karolina Kowalkiewicz and former Invicta FC champion, Michelle Waterson.
