DETROIT – Michelle Waterson said people we’re coming up to her all week asking why her UFC 218 fight – a five-six matchup in the strawweight division against Tecia Torres – wasn’t getting more attention.
A stunned Waterson squinted and replied, “Did you see the card? It’s freaking stacked,” she said.
Matchmakers Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby really put together a can’t-miss collection of fights and the athletes delivered. Eddie Alvarez-Justin Gaethje and Yancy Medeiros-Alex Oliveira were so good that UFC president Dana White awarded them both Fight of the Night Honors.
