Felice Herrig: UFC isn’t promoting me, because I’m not ‘young and beautiful’

The female strawweight, who’s one of the more experienced and established fighters in the division, outpointed the undefeated Justine Kish at Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 112 in Oklahoma City.

The dominant performance against Kish served as an addition to her current win streak that includes impressive victories over Kailin Curran and Alexa Grasso. Yet, despite being a veteran of the sport and being 4-1 in the UFC, Herrig feels she’s not getting the same opportunities or promotional push other fellow female fighters are getting from the company. And she believes it’s for reasons beyond her control.
