Michelle Waterson: Where does she go from here?
The former Invicta FC Atomweight champion in Waterson finally cracked a disappointing two-fight skid that began in October 2019. Despite the win over Angela Hill on September 12, she will have to string a meaningful run to return to contention.
A match-up worth considering would be the winner of Claudia Gadelha vs Yan Xiaonan, scheduled for November 7. Although the lay-off would be significant, a win over either woman mentioned above would catapult her profile.
