Many did not know Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham could be strolling alongside the Octagon at UFC 329. Neither did she.
After Saturday’s fights at T-Cellular Area in Las Vegas concluded, UFC president/CEO Dana White mentioned Cunningham’s look as a member of the Octagon crew was spontaneous.

“[We decided] eight minutes earlier than she did it,” White said (h/t Tom Rashid of BoxingNews.com). “I really like Sophie Cunningham. We have created a relationship. She was right here tonight, and when she walked in, she goes ‘Oh, I need to stroll round [The Octagon].’ I mentioned, ‘Then, you are going to stroll round it.'”
Cunningham joined the conventional Octagon crew in holding playing cards earlier than rounds. She then walked again to her seat within the entrance row, began guffawing and pointed her finger on the digicam, a nod to her viral finger-pointing meme.
