Summary
Sophie Cunningham stepped in as an Octagon girl at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, carrying the Round 1 card before the co-main event despite being due back with the Indiana Fever hours later.
Dana White said the cameo came together about eight minutes before she walked out, after Cunningham told him at ringside that she wanted to do it.
Paddy Pimblett then choked Benoit Saint Denis unconscious in under a minute, limiting Cunningham’s stint to a single lap around the cage.
The appearance added to Cunningham’s growing profile beyond the WNBA, where her finger-pointing clash with DeWanna Bonner has become one of the year’s biggest memes.
