Looks like the "Lil' Bulldog" got a Lil' too close for comfort.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) strawweights Felice Herrig and Paige VanZant came face-to-face during today's media day junket, designed to promote their upcoming UFC on FOX 15 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which takes place inside the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Sat., April 18, 2015 (results here).
Mission accomplished.
Because of their relatively thin division, this 115-pound bangfest carries serious title implications.
VanZant (4-1), already making a name for herself outside the cage, won her Octagon debut by pounding out Kailin Curran back in November, while Herrig (10-5) did likewise by submitting Lisa Ellis at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 20 Finale last December.
