Justine Kish had a night to forget at UFC Oklahoma.
Not only was she beaten by Felice Herrig in their UFC Fight Night showdown in the Octagon, but things also turned quite embarrassing.
Kish lost control of her bowels during the fight while trying to escape a vicious-looking rear-naked choke. The exertion Kish used to escape the mount of Herrig brought about the unfortunate incident.
Unfortunately for Kish, her accident was not lost on eagle-eyed viewers at home. Replay of Kish’s attempted escape confirmed that a substance was left on the canvas.
Kish was praised for the courage she showed in fighting the deep choke from Herrig.
“I have no idea how Kish got out of this,” UFC analyst Kenny Florian said. “Just pure toughness and strength. Just amazing determination from Justine.”
Kish was undefeated going into the fight, but Herrig used her superior grappling to edge the strawweight contender.
Kish took to social media following the contest, owning her Octagon accident, and telling her fans that she will return to fight another day.
Several took to social media to support Kish for the way she handled the situation, and the hashtag #shithappens even briefly trended on social media.
