Cortney Casey can expect to get a call from UFC President Dana White for her actions tonight.
During the prelims of tonight’s UFC 218 event in Detroit, Michigan, Casey got a little gross when she went full Nate Diaz while taunting Felice Herrig in the middle of their fight.
Watch as Casey wipes blood off her nose, throws it at Herrig and proceeds to give her opponent the double bird.
Did Cortney Casey just throw blood at Felice Herrig?

Cortney Casey wiped blood off her face and threw it in Felice Herrig's direction. Then flipped her off. This blood wasn't spatter either, it had a glob-like consistency. Pretty gross.

Casey went on to lose the fight via a heartbreaking split decision
After the fight Herrig said there were no hard feelings despite the heated confrontation in the cage.
The bout was a back-and-forth affair which could have easily gone either way. Casey appeared to get the best of the opening round both in the standup and on the ground. Herrig tightening things up in the second and found a home with her left hook.
The third was a spirited, all-out affair, complete with middle fingers back and forth which cause FS1’s censor to cut out.
“We were both doing that, it was a close fight, both slugging it out,” Herrig said of the gestures. “Fighters get emotional, there’s no hatred after the fight, there’s no hate now, maybe for her, but not here.”
While trash talk is fun you can’t be throwing blood at someone.
