Herrig took to Instagram to show her bloody nose while disparaging the entire city of Las Vegas – Saying in the post “Vegas Sucks!!!”
According to Herrig, she was punched in the face during an altercation with a woman in traffic. Based on Herrig’s retelling, she berated the woman by “giving her s**t over stopping traffic over a penny,” according to the fighter.
Herrig wrote:
“Vegas sucks !!!, Some chick got mad at me for giving her shit over stopping traffic over a penny. She then proceeded to punch me in the face. I punched her back but didn’t want to be too violent bc I was protecting my knee and hair. She ran off like a little bitch. THE END What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”
On Twitter, Herrig made several disparaging comments about Saturday’s UFC event, calling it a “snooze fest” and comparing it unfavorably to boxing and even suggesting it may have been staged. The boxing dig may also be a jab at McGregor moonlighting as a boxer, losing a high-profile match to Floyd Mayweather, reports ComicBook.
Maybe next time don’t yell at locals over traffic when the guest of a city? Ya think?
