Felice Herrig is a 9-5 strawweight fighter who will also appear on The Ultimate Fighter Season 20. She's a legit talent, but she also has a better understanding of sex appeal in sport than most people. On TMZ in 2013, she defended using sex appeal to sell fights and get ahead, stating that she thought "the female body was beautiful" and questioning why she had to be considered just a fighter, and couldn't be more. As she points out, sponsors are looking for certain types, and if you're what fits, and can back it up in the cage - why not use that sex appeal? On top of that, as she stated in the same interview that "who cares" why people are watching her fight, as long as they're watching. After all, once you get the eyeballs on you, you can show off your skill, and turn gawkers into fans. Herrig's twitter is very active, and she's worth a follow on there. Her weigh-in outfits have been much-discussed as well, and she's interviewed with Maxim about them, telling the magazine last year that "I step outside of the box and get creative with my weigh in outfits. I always have a theme."
