NEWARK, N.J. – Today was Round 2 of the Felice Herrig and Paige VanZant face-offs. Round 3 goes down Saturday – when it really counts.
But on Friday at the weigh-ins for UFC on FOX 15, the two got face-to-face again – the same as they did on Thursday during an “Ultimate Media Day” event, at which UFC President Dana White had to get an arm in the middle to make sure things didn’t escalate.
UFC on FOX 15 takes place at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Herrig (10-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and VanZant (4-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) open up the main card on FOX following prelims on FOX and UFC Fight Pass.
Before their first dustup – albeit a relatively minor one – on Thursday, both fighters told MMAjunkie they really had no beef with each other. But now that the fight is official, and they have two pretty tense staredowns out of the way, things may change – at least for 15 minutes on Saturday.
Check out the video above from Friday’s weigh-ins. Then don’t miss Saturday’s UFC on FOX 15 card on FOX and UFC Fight Pass from Newark.
