Funny, she doesn't look like a bulldog (Felice Herrig Interview)


by Penny Buffington of MMA-Underground.com

Felice Herrig "lil bulldog" arrived on television in June of 2007 on the Fight Girls. The reality show featured American female fighters. In a short amount of time the women were taught muay thai kickboxing by the instructor Master Toddy. With the muay thai skills just learnt the fighters fought each other for the right to go compete in Thailand. Thailand is generally thought to have the best muay thai fighters in t he world. All but one of the five American fighters won their Thailand fight. "Lil Bulldog" does not stand for Felice Herrig's looks, unless you do realize little bulldogs are cute as can be. It is for her fighting style. She keeps going forward no matter what is thrown at her; like a bulldog she just keeps going at her opponent.

Now that Fight Girls is over Felice tells me, "Since the show I have become very close with a lot of the girls. Like Ardra, Dawn, Kerry and Gina Carano. We have all gotten together a few times. I went to Arda's K1 fight in Vegas, Kerry and I did a spread in Black belt Magazine together and just last month I stayed with Gina for a couple weeks and Dawn and I trained together. Kerry Vera is going to visit me sometime at the end of the month."

Felice says, "Since the show, I won another National kickboxing title with the W.A.K.O, then I fought in Tokyo Japan. I turned pro and have been fighting for Chuck Norris's World Combat League. I basically agreed to do that to keep me busy and make me a better fighter, because I usually fight at 114 lbs and the only weight for females in the league is 128lbs., so all the girls cut from about 140."

Felice went on to say, "This season of the WCL is over and I am now co-hosting a MMA TV show on CLTV. You can check it out on cltv.com. I did an interview with Bas Rutten this Monday. Videos will be up soon. It starts airing May 6th. It was super fun."

"I am doing a seminar In Baltimore Maryland June 13th and 14th." said Felice. "I quit my job at the salon and am just focusing on fighting and anything fight related. I have started teaching a few classes a week at FLOMMA. I have been a very busy girl. I should be in next month's issue of Black belt Magazine. I was in the April issue of Chicago Magazine. I am making my MMA debut this year."

For me to watch a female fight it has to be good. Felice Herring is punching and kicking her way to destroy the theory that girl fighting is boring. I don't want to look away when I watch her fight. Along with the likes of female fighters such as Gina Carano or Lisa King, Felice is the girl to watch if you want to be impressed.
