Jessamyn Duke Back in Action This Weekend After Street Altercation

Women's bantamweight Jessamyn Duke returns to the UFC Saturday after a yearlong absence from cage fighting. She probably wishes her absence from street fighting was equally as long.

In fairness, the lowlifes who attacked Duke and her friends probably wished the same thing, after Duke, fellow professional women's bantamweight Shayna Baszler and amateur Justin Pierpoint put the hurt on two scumbags last fall after a grappling seminar.

Earlier this month, Duke told the story to Yael Grauer of the Sports Post. Apparently, a fan in a wheelchair was waiting for her ride after the seminar.
