Michelle Waterson and Angela Hill heard the all the talk. How could they not?
From the moment it was announced that Glover Teixeira vs. Thiago Santos would not be happening on Sept. 12 as planned due to Teixeira testing positive for COVID-19, you could almost feel the vibration from the internet’s collective shrug when it was later made official that Waterson and Hill would instead headline UFC Vegas 10 on Saturday.
Somewhere along the way that shrug turned to genuine hostility as a segment of fans questioned why the two strawweight veterans were being granted this opportunity given their recent circumstances.
