Hailey Welch has become one of the most talked about people on the planet in recent months following her viral street interview.
Better known as “Hawk Tuah Girl”, her profile has drastically climbed following her now iconic line and in a bizarre turn of events, has somehow taken a combat sports route.
Welch has spoken about potentially competing in what could go on to be the best example of someone with a large following deciding to turn that popularity into promoting a fight of some kind.
Given her profile, it’s not surprising that there would be plenty of fighters who would be willing to put their hands up for the match-up.
She was recently called out by influencer and OnlyFans star Astrid Wett, who has crossed over into the world of celebrity boxing.
A recent video posted by Welch points towards an MMA fight being in her future, even if it is clear from the start that it shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
Hailey Welch Drills Muay Thai Fundamentals Amidst Combat Sports Debut Talk
A recent video posted by Welch on X shows her training out of the Renzo Gracie L.A. gym, as the coach helps to teach her and a friend some basic Muay Thai techniques.
After practicing a few combinations with some knees and elbows thrown in for good measure, they put their newfound skills to good use by teaming up to beat down their sparring partner.
The video even ends with Welch calling out arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all the time, the current UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones.
“I feel like I’m a brand new woman now. Jon Jones, where you at m***********?”
Though it doesn’t seem clear whether she is entirely serious about stepping inside a cage or ring at some point soon, it doesn’t appear that this is necessarily a cash grab attempt based on her popularity.
As several of the replies on social media echo, Welch is having just having fun.
“Haliey is literally just living her best life now.”
