However, the most surprising element of the entire event was the woman behind Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone during the face-off.

UFC President Dana White that he would give a job to the woman who beat up a burglar who tried to rob a shop. White stood right to his words, as he offered a job to Summer Tapasa, unlike any other. The woman who went viral on the internet for beating a shoplifter stood between Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone at the official weigh-in for UFC 246. She stood in Dana White’s position during the faceoff and experienced a moment of a lifetime.

During an interview with MMAFighting, Summer shared her excitement surrounding UFC 246, and her experience at UFC.

Salone also revealed details about what transpired during the shoplifting that took place in Aiea.

“It was pure instincts. The moment I see him running towards the door. Not on my watch bro. You are not going anywhere. You are not doing it again. So yeah, that was just my reaction. I am that type of person If I see something that’s wrong, I am gonna go and make it right. So I am not gonna stand there, and let it go.”

It’s a lovely gesture from UFC to honor our heroes who risk their lives to save somebody or something.
