Felice Herrig is headed back to surgery.
The veteran UFC strawweight told MMA Fighting on Tuesday that she’s set to go back under the knife on Oct. 5 with a new physician to repair damage that she says wasn’t previously addressed in a past procedure after she tore her ACL in 2019.
According to Herrig, she experienced issues for months following her initial surgery and the problems persisted throughout her training camp as she prepared for her return to action at UFC 252 in August. Unfortunately, she couldn’t get the answers she needed with her local doctor and physical therapists unable to explain exactly what was happening with her knee.
