Michelle Waterson, former Invicta FC atomweight champion, joined the UFC earlier this year and will make her in-cage debut on July 12th against Angela Magana.
It was a significant signing for the growing 115-pound division as Waterson brings in a solid fanbase with her, and a track record of exciting fights. The 12-4 veteran known as “The Karate Hottie” fights out of Jackson-Winkeljohn in Albuquerque.
The strawweight bout will be featured on the main card, and it will draw a lot of interest. Waterson's move back to 115-pounds will be closely watched and could have major implications.
