Felice Herrig is joining Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
The ex-UFC fighter left her gloves in the Octagon and retired from mixed martial arts following her loss to Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC Vegas 56 this past June. Herrig said in her post-fight interview with Paul Felder it was “time to move on to something else” after 20 years of fighting. That something else was recently revealed, and it is bare-knuckle boxing.
Damon Martin of MMA Fighting reported on Tuesday that Herrig signed a multi-fight deal with BKFC. The promotion confirmed the report via press release.
