The 20th season of reality show The Ultimate Fighter It has everything to make history. In addition to being the first edition of the program that will crown a new UFC champion, in the women's straw category, the attraction's recordings are marked by controversy and confusion among the participants.
Precisely for this reason, a rumor emerged last week that the fighter Felice herrig she had been close to being sent away from the program for having been involved in a disturbance at the house. In a press conference given after the TUF 19 Finale, last Sunday (6), UFC president, Dana White, gave few details about the case, but confirmed the fight. “Well, I wouldn’t say she was almost sent away, but there was a fight on the first day,” he said, in an excerpt reproduced by the North American website “MMA Fighting”.

The UFC boss said that the 20th season of TUF is different from any other season ever produced by the organization. “I'm very excited. It's different from anything we've ever done before. We will have the 16 best fighters in the world at their weight and we will crown the new champion at the end of the season. It's exciting, it's new. Women go for everything. The first day I went there, things had already happened. Half of them hate each other. It will be a very interesting season,” he commented.
In her last fight, in December last year, Herrig lost to another TUF 20 participant, Tecia torres. Furthermore, “Lil Bulldog”, as she is known, is a longtime rival of another colleague on the show, Heather Jo Clark, with whom she has exchanged public insults in recent years.
