It was a very successful night all around for Tonya Evinger at Invicta 17.
She retained her bantamweight title and improved her record to 6-0 after dominating Colleen Schneider, and after the match, she gunned for “moment of the year” by kissing reporter Laura Sanko:

Oh, and Tonya, who is a lesbian, opted to do this just a couple of minutes after vomiting. After the match, she told reporters she wasn’t feeling great towards the end of the fight (via the LA Daily News):
“I think I worked a little too much in certain areas and not enough in other areas,” said Evinger, who added that she felt sick the last two rounds.
Evinger has come under fire for the move, and took to Twitter to address the haters:
So to all my haters out there stirring the pot over my attempt to win “moment of the yr”, take a chill pill and relax. Me and laura are friends and not everyone is as fragile flowers as you guys, some ppl have a sense of humor. Thx again @laura_sanko for bn such a good sport and helping me win this time around..#momentoftheyear #voteforme
Sanko also downplayed the gross smooch, calling it “hilarious:”
@WMMANews I literally don't even know what to say lol!!!!!!!! That was hilarious

And labeling Evinger one hell of a prankster:
