When Felice Herrig got a look at the opponent she was supposed to fight in 24 hours in Rockford, Ill., she knew there would be problems.
It was clear the 115-pound limit she had sweat and suffered to make was not made in kind. The baggy sweats worn by said opponent couldn’t hide the drained look of someone who had tapped out in the sauna.
“The promoter said, ‘She’s a couple pounds overweight,” Herrig told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “I was like, ‘A couple of pounds? That girl is not a 115-pound fighter.'”
