Felice Herrig, a UFC fighter known for being modest and not self-involved at all, believes her likeness was stolen and used as the inspiration for Cassie Cage, a character in the upcoming video game Mortal Kombat X. The fighter, who is rarely seen photographing herself on social media, thinks it is “safe to say Mortal Kombat X definitely used [her] likeness for the video game character Cassie Cage.”
Of course, unfair critics may suggest that her perception has been shaped by a raging narcissism, as her need for constant affirmation is projected unconsciously onto a cartoonish figure that could have been inspired by just about anyone. But before you rush to psychoanalytical judgment, have a look at the photo, and you will no doubt agree: they both have blonde hair.
