UFC fighter Felice Herrig is giving TMZ Sports a blow-by-blow of her bloody Vegas street fight … and she tells us the whole thing started over a penny.
35-year-old Herrig –the #12 ranked strawweight — was in Sin City for UFC 246 … when her night out on the town started to resemble her day job.

“I was just like, ‘Dude it’s just a penny,’” Herrig told us. “And then I thought it was over and I was walking out with my friend, Kim, and she comes up from behind me and she was like, ‘It was on heads!’”
The penny-pincher declined Herrig’s request to get out of her face.
“So, I kind of shoulder bumped her to kind of let her know to go away, and she came at me,” Herrig tells us. “She punched me in the nose. I just remember punching her two times back.”
Herrig wasn’t seriously hurt … but did have her nose busted. Luckily for the woman who allegedly started beef with Felice … she wasn’t badly hurt either.
“I wanted to double-leg her, but I’m still recovering from my ACL injury,” Herrig tells us.
Felice says she doesn’t go out in public looking for fights, but she had a message for anyone else looking to start with her.
“Talk sh*t, get hit.”
