It started after one of Felice's followers posted an image claiming that Cassie Cage looks remarkably similar to Felice Herrig. After doing some research into the character and seeing her finishing moves, Felice Herrig was convinced that the developers of MKX had stolen her likeliness. The main kick was that one of Cassie Cage's finishing moves involves taking a selfie of herself and her (dead) opponent. Herrig is widely known to take selfies; there is no place safe from her camera. As such, she became heavily convinced that they had taken not only stolen her likeliness, but also her habits so that they could incorporate them into a new character; Cassie Cage.
As more information about MKX and in particular Cassie Cage became available, someone made a side by side comparison of Cassie Cage and Herrig with what is undeniably very similar looking stances to what Herrig is using. No legal action has been taken as of yet by the MMA star, however, there have been a lot of lawsuits like these in the past and it would be unsurprising if another popped up.
Undeniably, the pictures do look similar to Herrig. However, Herrig is known to take an absurd amount of selfies and as such there is a good chance that Herrig and Cage would be sharing a similar look. The best evidence in favor of Cassie Cage being inspired by Felice Herrig is the picture of Cassie Cage chewing bumble bum, in the exact same way as Herrig is seen doing so in a selfie.
