I play up the sexy side, but I’m not playing,” she explains. “I’m being me. I’m not doing anything I’m uncomfortable with. A lot of people think that’s what I’m all about and that I don’t care about my fighting, that I spend more time promoting myself than training. There’s only so much time in the day. I’m more dedicated than any other woman I’ve met and most of the guys. At the same time, fighting is a business. I’m promoting my brand. With women athletes, you get a lot more opportunities. It’s more intriguing to the general public if they see a woman that wouldn’t strike you as a fighter.”

Herrig has not fought since a tough threer-round loss to Paige VanZant on April 18, 2015. She took a needed break, and pre-fight weigh-ins show a dramatic change in physique.
Here is Herrig’s famous face off vs. Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc at XFO 39: Curran vs. Pearson on 13 May 2011 in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
