UFC First Injury!



Heather Jo Clark to miss 3 months with broken ribs...


Las Vegas- After another successful UFC Pay Per View just 24 hours ago in sunny Las Vegas, many fans are excited for the new year. But the event didn't come without it's first ever injury as UFC Strawweight Fighter Heather Jo Clark has officially been placed on the UFC injury list.
Clark didn't make it past the first round last night in her fight with Felice Herrig who dropped Clark with a vicious knee to the ribs that broke Clark's bones. The fight was then stopped and Herrig was declared the winner viz TKO. In a new sport that's based off the ultimate competition many fans booed Felice Herrig for mocking Heather's injury as the fighter was helped to the back. Many fans took to social media to express their disgust towards the act of poor sportsmanship. UFC President Dana White even made a comment afterwards stating "This is a sport where sportsmanship and respect are earned. When a fighter wants to do neither then a rivalry is born. That's why this sport is so great."
Felice Herrig afterwards taunted the fans as well stating "This is no place for Barbies like Heather. The fans will need to realize that this sport is about dominating and becoming champion. They can support me or hate me."
In a rivalry now in the making it's obvious these two will meet again down the road.

UFC Strawweight Felice Herrig takes shot at Heather Clark, Puts Division on notice.



Las Vegas- 48 hours ago at UFC 2: Holohan VS Camus 2, "Lil Bulldog" Felice Herrig got her first victory inside the Cage. What was more dominating was how she got it.

She grabbed Heather Clark and sent a crushing knee into her ribs breaking them in the process.

"No sympathy at all. This is no place for soft girls and barbies." Herrig stated.

After Clark dropped to the mat clutching her ribs in pain, Referee Herb Dean awarded the TKO to Herrig. The fight didn't even last to the second round.

This fueled Felice Herrig's persona afterwards. She taunted Clark as she left the cage heading to the back.

"I'm here to dominate this sport and this Division. I'm here to be the best. Heather needs to stay at home and the rest of this division is now on notice. I'm here to stay." She continued.

Felice even called out Strawweight Champion Juliana Lima.

"I want that belt princess." Herrig said.

UFC Heather Jo Clark fires back at Felice Herrig. "This means War."



Las Vegas- It didn't take long for Heather Jo Clark to respond to Felice Herrig's comments. Heather recently spoke to UFC Media as she was being evaluated for her ribs. She didn't hold anything back as the competitor held nothing back at her new rival.

"The whole division is on notice? She's 1-0 and she thinks she's the queen of the Strawweights? That's laughable." Clark stated. "Let her run her mouth cause now this means war. I was just going to take my loss on the chin and say congratulations but after the stunts she's pulled forget it. Good job Felice it's now personal. "

Heather is scheduled to miss 3 months while her broken ribs heal but the UFC now has a heated rivalry in the process.
