Now-former UFC strawweight Felice Herrig did not retire on a win, but she certainly earned the respect of her fellow fighters in the process.
The seasoned veteran hung up the gloves on Saturday night following her submission loss to Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC Fight Night 207 in Las Vegas. The decision to leave MMA put an end to a noteworthy run that spanned from 2009 to 2022.
