MMA Fighter Tonya Evinger Kisses Announcer Laura Sanko After Puking [VIDEO]

I can now officially say I have seen it all.

This story from the New York Post might be one of the odder stories you will read in 2016.

The story was titled "Lesbian MMA champ wins, pukes, kisses announcer." Of course, I had to click on it to see what it was all about. It's why the Internet exists.

Tonya Evinger is the Invicta women's bantamweight champion and defended her title Saturday night in California. Reportedly she puked in a bucket after a fight.

Here is where the story really got odd.

So after her trademark post-fight puke in a bucket, the openly gay Evinger grabbed announcer Laura Sanko by the face and smacked her on the lips.

"Intention is 100% of the equation," Sanko said in defense of Evinger on Twitter. "If a male I knew was trying to be funny and did that I would still laugh it off."

Evinger also defended her behavior.

"So to all my haters out there stirring the pot over my attempt to win 'moment of the year,' take a chill pill and relax," she wrote on Twitter. "Me and Laura are friends and not everyone is as fragile flowers as you guys, some people have a sense of humor. Thanks again Laura Sanko for being such a good sport and helping me win this time around."

Sanko apparently had no problem at all with the kiss as she posted the above tweet after the fight.

The only thing I want to know is did Sanko know that Evinger had just puked?
