Twitter Heaps Praise On Michelle Waterson as She Stuns Favorite Angela Hill in a Five Round War

Michelle Waterson and Angela Hill were the main event for UFC Vegas 10. Hill created history by becoming the first black woman to head a card for the UFC. The fight started out well for Angela, as she won the first two rounds, out striking Waterson. “Overkill” landed a few bombs in the first two rounds and had Waterson hurt a few times. However, Michelle rallied on as she was two rounds down going into the third.

The direction of the fight changed in the third round. Waterson took down Hill early in the round and pinned her there for most of the fight. Moreover, she inflicted considerable damage on her opponent. 

The fourth and fifth rounds saw both fighters trading with each other, blow for blow. However, Michelle Waterson could convince the judges that she did more in the last two rounds to secure a split decision win over Angela. This was Waterson’s first win after two back-to-back losses.
