MMAJunkie Radio<\/a>. \u201cThat was the start of my Vegas journey, and it wasn\u2019t my fault. I feel like people in Vegas are crazy\u2026 She stopped traffic to pick up a penny! Literally a penny. And I called her out on it.\u201d<\/p>\nEven though she had made a remark, Herrig insisted that she continued walking up the street with her friend.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree minutes later, there\u2019s somebody behind me saying, like, \u2018The penny was on heads!’\u201d Herrig said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m like, \u2018I do not give a sh*t.’\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman was persistent and continued to bother Herrig about the penny. That is when things turned heated and the woman asked Felice Herrig “What are you going to do about it?”.<\/p>\n
Having recently endured surgery to repair her torn ACL from April, Herrig did not want to get involved in an actual physical confrontation. However, after more words were exchanged, Felice had heard enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m not gonna do anything about it unless you do something about it first,’\u201d Felice Herrig said. \u201cIf you punch me, I will defend myself. And she punched me. And I had to defend myself, so I punched her back really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now 35-years-old, Herrig is hoping to make her return to the Octagon later this year.<\/p>\n
