Justine Kish fought valiantly as she dropped a decision to Felice Herrig at the main card of UFC Oklahoma City. She somehow survived from this deep choke, which had former champion Dominick Cruz raving about her toughness and explosiveness from the UFC commentary booth.

After defending the submission, the 29-year-old was still in a bad position. Like she was doing throughout the fight, Kish exploded to get out of the bad spot. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only thing that got out.
Shortly after, and many from social media began to notice some coloration on the mat.

Even media in attendance did their doodi… I mean, duty, to confirm things.
It was. The guy who cleaned it up showed us pictures here on press row.

The staff tried to clean it up a little, and the two remaining fights continued. On the very next bout, former UFC champion Johny Hendricks was knocked out right by those stains.
Post-fight, Kish was even a good sport about it all, cracking a joke about it on twitter.
I am a warrior, and I will never quit #ShitHappens haha be back soon.

This unfortunate incident certainly wasn’t the first time this happened in the UFC in recent years. Off the top of my head, this is probably Number 2 on that list.
