Waterson confident she can outstrike champ Jedrzejczyk: ‘No question about it’

UFC strawweight Michelle Waterson is confident she can hang with the division’s champ, Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Last week, Michelle Waterson made her long awaited UFC debut at the Ultimate Fighter Finale. She rallied back from a slow start to choke out Angela Magana by rear-naked choke and announce her arrival in the strawweight division.

Although Waterson revealed soon afterwards that she had injured her hand, she is already contemplating her next fight. During an interview with Submission Radio, Waterson was asked whether a rematch against Jessica Penne would be something that interested her, to which she immediately suggested would propel her into title contention.
