Mixed martial arts champion Felice Herrig, affectionately known
as Lil' Bulldog, has launched a new MMA television show on CLTV in
Chicago. Although the show is based in the Chicago area and Felice
is from the northwest suburbs of the city, the show will cover the
MMA scene throughout the country with information, training tips,
and interviews. Felice's co-host is Q101 radio personality Jim
Lyman and episodes will air at 10pm and midnight central time on
Tuesdays and Fridays. The show is expected to help make up for the
gender imbalance of 'Strikeforce on NBC," which so far has largely
featured male fighters.
For those outside of the viewing area, the show can also be seen
on http://combatwire.com/.
Felice is known for combining her cover girl good looks with a physique worthy of
fitness competitions, wrapped up in a lethal fighting package. As a mixed martial artist and a
kickboxer, she is a member
of the St. Louis Enforcers in the World Combat League. Her typical training regimen
consists of jumping rope, shadowboxing, heavy bag, sparring and mitt training, and
sprints.
Felice
was widely viewed to be the best feature and breakout star of "Fight
Girls," an eight episode reality show which aired on the Oxygen Network during the summer of 2007.
In the show, several fighters in different weight classes competed in the art of Muay Thai, eliminating
each other before taking on the individual Thai champions. Felice won her fight in Las Vegas and then
defeated the Thai champion in her class.
Felice was
one of the four "Women Who Kick Ass" in the April 2008 issue of Chicago Magazine, along with
Team FigureRX athlete and American Gladiator Beth Horn.
Watch a clip of Felice in the first
episode of combatwire, which aired on May 6th.
