Felice Herrig claiming Mortal Kombat's Cassie Cage is a rip-off

Is there a potential likeness rights battle the UFC isn't fighting? Probably not, but there is at least an argument to be made that Mortal Kombat is biting the style of one of the UFC's strawweight fighters. Video game news website Kotaku recently brought to light Felice Herrig's dismay over her pretty stunning resemblance to the Mortal Kombat character Cassie Cage. She's currently preparing to fight rising prospect Paige VanZant at UFC on Fox 15 on April 18th, but she could have another battle outside the cage in front of her.

Herrig first made note of the similarities several months ago, but in the days leading up to the game's release, she's become more certain than ever that she's the unwitting muse behind the pixels.
