Cunningham held up the card to signal the start of the first round for Paddy Pimblett's victory over Benoît Saint Denis, which didn't require a second round. That wasn't the only time she stepped inside the Octagon as she joined Max Holloway during his celebration after beating Conor McGregor in the main event.

Unfortunately for Cunningham, she'll probably have to miss UFC's next major show. UFC is slated for Aug. 15 in Philadelphia, which is sandwiched between a Fever home game against the Dallas Wings and a road trip to the Atlanta Dream two nights later.
