Michellle Waterson = GAME

[IronGolem007]

She may have lost, because she was totally outsized, but she tried her best.

No honest fight fan can fault someone for "losing" ... when they authentically go down fighting.

Michelle Waterson deserves respect for her efforts.

 

[HHJ]

She is a game fighter. She actually gave a good effort in her fight with Joanna and actually got her down albeit briefly.

 

[TheCryingElite]

Game as usual. Sad to watch

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Too tough for her own good tonight. That was a savage beat down.

 

[Willek]

Heard they have been calling her the Karate Nottie.

 

[Frank Kain]

She’s always been game and a really tough fighter. No one’s disputing that, but some of the losses have really been ugly the last 7 fights or so. It’s similar to Tony Ferguson…keep fighting if you want, but it’s not enjoyable to see one way traffic. That said, I actually am looking forward to Paddy vs Tony. They are both at a similar level. Waterson? Who do you match her up with now?

 

[Dim1]

She's a sub .500 fighter in the UFC (6-8) Not sure if Dana "likes her" which gives her this unusual career boost that other WMMA fighters don't get.

She was facing someone younger, and 18" taller than she was.

She's a name and the women's divisions are thin. I don't think it's that unusual in modern times. They let a lot more fighters go on long losing streaks than they used to.

Damn.

"She tried her best."



Jesus Christ. That has got to be the most brutal thing you could possibly say about a fighter after an ass kicking.

 

[Megatronlee]

I wish she was better

 

[Yep]

She’s a fighter. Mad respect.

 

[MMAFanCal]

It is the Winklejohn curse. They completely suck the talent out of the fighters. I am not sure why the fighters are so loyal to that academy despite continuously losing and regressing in their skills. Holly Holm and Michelle Waterson both exactly are suffering from the same fate. They could have had good careers, if they had switched to some of the best coaches/trainers, yet they remain loyal to the academy while failing to evolve.

 

[MigitAs]

Was she crying because she knows she’s not competitive anymore or because she was humiliated or just emotional from the physical damage? Inquiring minds want to know

 

[MigitAs]

I wish she was better

She should slide into a Megan Olivi type role now.

Unfortunately she is popular and well known and gets fights which she isn't capable of winning. She is in PVZ territory. I think the UFC part ways with her soon because she is too expensive for not being a realistic challenger.

I think she hasn't improved much since she started but all the other women have, leaving her in a bad spot.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

She’s always had my respect.

She’s undersized and passed her prime. But she is a scrapper. She’s not looking for an easy way out. Like some fighters do. She has heart, and guts.

 

[Filter909]

Holm will turn down her next title shot if UFC releases Waterson. Dana is shook.
