Tonya Evinger
Presented without comment, or as Joe Friday put it: “Just the facts, ma’am.”
Evinger, who told the Los Angeles Daily News she “felt sick the last two rounds,” vomited in a bucket shortly after the final bell. This, on its own, is not such an unusual circumstance. Seeing a fighter vomit before, during or following a hard-fought match is nothing new. Anxiety and lingering weight-cut issues produce these bodily responses in our sport. It’s not a frequent occurrence, yet referees and cageside officials have become forum memes cleaning up the evacuated contents of competitors’ fight-day meals. It happens.
What unfolded next, some say, was less than considerate, at least without a courtesy brush and perhaps a double-shot of Listerine.

“So to all my haters out there stirring the pot over my attempt to win ‘moment of the year,’ take a chill pill and relax,” said Evinger. “Me and Laura are friends and not everyone is as fragile flowers as you guys; some people have a sense of humor.

I don’t know if Evinger will win Invicta’s “Moment of the Year,” but I can guarantee we’ll be talking about her as we honor the 2016 All-Turkey Team this Thanksgiving.
