Michelle Waterson’s explosion onto the UFC scene seemed like just a moment away when she debuted back in July 2015.
The former Invicta FC atomweight champion took out Angela Magana in dominant fashion and announced her arrival in grand fashion. She had the look, the fighting style and that unexplainable star quality wrapped up into one sensational package.
Unfortunately for "The Karate Hottie," the injury bug hit hard, beginning with a broken hand in her debut. When she seemed ready to return later in 2015 she suffered a knee injury. Then Waterson broke her hand just days before her scheduled bout in Germany in 2016.
