Justine Kish should have shit her pants a long time ago.
Last weekend, the UFC strawweight went viral after she let loose on the mat during a losing match with Felice Herrig. At the time, we predicted it would be the greatest thing to ever happen to her career. Looks like we were on to something.
The latest evidence is a sponsorship offer from butt wipe manufacturer Dude Wipes.
UFC won't let us sponsor your butt, but we can send you all the wipes you'll ever need

Kish went on on iHeart radio’s “Domenick Nati Show” this week and revealed that she’s gotten a ton of attention for crapping herself, including interest from some adult wipe companies. She said she’s thinking about signing on endorse the product.
“I’m actually considering it because we could have some fun with it and maybe make the product less embarrassing and more funny,” Kish said.
Dude Wipes actually sponsored fighters in the past by plastering its name on their asses. Apparently the UFC won’t allow that any more, but the brand is still interested in getting involved with Kish.
“We think Justine had an awesome attitude about the situation and are discussing a fun way to work together to make light of it,” the company’s Sean Riley told HuffPost.
Dude Wipes weren’t the only ones impressed with Kish’s light-hearted response to what was surely a mortifying moment. As she said this week, she got a call from Dana White after the fight.
His message? “You fought like hell out there and I love how you owned up to it,” Kish told MMAWeekly.com. Not a bad pat on the back for someone who suffered a shitty loss.
