Felice Herrig kicks off the main card of UFC on FOX 15 in a straw weight bout against Paige VanZant. Herrig has grown a strong fan base through her use of social media and colorful weigh-in attire, where she likes to show off her super hero side:
I’ve always thought of myself as a superhero,” Herrig told Phoenix Carnevale. “I’m obsessed with superheros. I do cos-play all the time. I’ve actually done Super Girl, Cammy from Street Fighter. I want to do something with Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat seeing as she looks just like me.”
Apart from a keen interest in comic books and superheros, Herrig believes her well-rounded approach to the fight game is instrumental to her overall marketing.
“I have always looked at myself as an entertainer and a performer. It’s not just about the fight itself, it’s about the show, the total package, the whole image, the presentation. That is my way of looking professional.
