WNBA star Sophie Cunningham has been making the rounds and taking advantage of the spotlight that has stemmed from her viral fame since joining the Indiana Fever last season and serving as the enforcer for Caitlin Clark.
Most recently, Cunningham made a cameo at UFC 329, where she served as a guest ring girl ahead of the co-main event between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis.
After the main event, she shared a special moment with Max Holloway inside of the cage, before getting back to her regularly scheduled duties as a basketball player on Sunday night.

Cunningham and the Fever took on the Las Vegas Aces in a primetime showdown, with a special guest in attendance. It was none other than UFC boss Dana White who pulled up to Michelob ULTRA Arena to cheer on Sophie and the Fever on their way to victory.
Following Cunningham’s cameo at UFC 329, White explained how he and the WNBA star have developed a friendship.
“I love Sophie Cunningham,” White told the media. “We’ve created a relationship, and she was here tonight. “When she walked in, she goes, “Oh, I want to walk around that.’ I said, ‘Then you’re gonna walk around it.’”
