UFC fighter who pooped herself will be sponsored by butt-wipes company
Most people say “there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel” and it seems that it can also apply to a certain fighter who recently had a peculiar “accident” in the cage.
Social media was ablaze last week when UFC strawweight fighter Justin Kish accidentally lost control of her bowels mid-fight against Felice Herrig.

After losing the bout, the 29-year-old Russian-American fighter became an instant online celebrity, albeit in an extremely unflattering manner.
Although humiliated by the incident, Kish is now dealing with multiple sponsorship offers from butt-wipe companies—including famed baby-wipe brand Dude Wipes.

Dude Wipes reportedly reached out to Kish on Twitter shortly after the bout and said it would like to supply her with all the product she needs.
“We think Justine had an awesome attitude about the situation and are discussing a fun way to work together to make light of it,” Sean Riley of Dude Products told the news outlet.
Kish, meanwhile, confirmed that they are currently ironing out details of the endorsement, which may include several light-hearted commercials.
Although mocked online for the pooping-incident, Kish was still praised by some netizens for owning up to the act.
Even UFC president Dana White was impressed by her performance during the fight, and the way she handled the incident afterwards.
“He called me the day after the fight to check on me to make sure I was OK because there’s a little bit of humiliation behind what happened,” Kish shared, according to MMAWeekly. “I was in a dark area for a few hours. He just wanted to check in to see that I was OK and he gave me some encouragement.” Khristian Ibarrola/JB
