Veteran strawweight pioneer, Michelle Waterson has called time on her storied career in mixed martial arts tonight — off the back of her defeat to grappling ace, Gillian Robertson at UFC 303 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Waterson, who entered tonight’s strawweight clash with Robertson boasting the number fourteen rank in the official 115lbs division — dropped a decision loss to the above-mentioned challenger, before closing the curtain on a stunning, storied 31-fight career in combat sports.
A veteran contender and perennial challenger at the strawweight limit inside the promotion, Michelle Waterson, a former Invicta FC atomweight champion, made her Octagon debut back in 2015, racking up quickfire submission wins over both Angela Magana and then Paige VanZant — the second of which in a UFC Fight Night Sacramento headliner.
