Patricia Vidonic to Felice Herrig: 'When that Cage Door Locks, You Better Be Ready' (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

Get ready for another chick fight MMA-style. This time it's the 115ers, "Little" Patricia Vidonic faces "Little Bulldog" Felice Herrig at "XFC 17: Apocalypse" live and free on HDNet TV on April 13, 2012. The XFC crew always delivers an exciting night of fights and this fight card promises to be no exception.

Let the trash-talking begin

"So Felice, when that cage door locks, you had better hope you have been training even half as hard as I have. So for you saying that I am going to do what every other girl does; I am NOT every other girl you have ever fought. I am getting stronger, more skilled and smarter every day. See you in Tennessee." source

Patricia (5-2) is focused and ready to take on Felice (5-4). "Some have forgotten that I have been doing MMA since 2009. Three years. No previous boxing, wrestling, or martial arts. I have had only 2 losses in my pro career, one loss in my pro debut, to an opponent with 11 previous pro fights, and one to the #2 ranked female in the world. I have been labeled a submission ace, a grappler, even well rounded. I got here because of hard work and dedication. While most are still in bed, I have been in the gym for hours!" direct from Lil Patricia's Facebook fan page.

Little Patricia trains hard. "Heading to the gym to get BIG! Shoulders, traps, and abs. Then onto the mats for some mitt work with takedowns. Many combos flowing in my head, time to work them. Happy Thursday people!"

Felice Herrig responded on Twitter, "Last I checked, spending all your time weight training in preparation for a fight isn't training…but I'm sure your muscles will look nice."

Felice is not known for being shy.

Patricia responded back on Facebook, "For those that need to know, I lift heavy 4 days a week, that is to snatch you up. I hit mitts and do stand-up rounds 5 days a week, this is to hit and kick you. And I do ground work EVERY day, this is to tap you out. The question of my strength should be which one is going to happen?"

Introducing Felice Herrig

CM Punk, of WWE fame, has chosen who he thinks will win. "22 days until my girl @feliceherrig hands out a beating @OfficialXFC" and "I only regret I won't be in attendance!"

Felice responded, "This is going to be fun—for me," and "Many more Bulldog beatings to come ."

Felice Herrig is famous for one of the best stare downs ever. Well, at least up until the latest deadly stare down between Miesha Tate and new Strikeforce champion, Ronda Rousey. Headbutt at the Strikeforce Stare Down: Miesha Started It, Ronda Finished It.
