Still, Waterson couldn't have predicted what a win over Paige VanZant would do for her career after millions tuned in to watch the main event last December from Sacramento.
The UFC returns to Fox with a flyweight title fight. I really like both guys.
"I'm getting pissed off about this".
Johnson is also a master of the five-round fight, being that he's just as fresh and risky in the final minutes of the fight as we was in the first, and I think his speed, superior cardio and a skill-set that can adapt to any situation will ensure that he emerges with a decision victory on Saturday night. It means it's also time for the media odes to his greatness, the fan apathy in the face of same, and the inevitable process that ends with the belt being wrapped around his waist while the people in suits wait for the TV ratings to tell them the same old story.
"I look up to them and I try to model myself after them". Waterson too will opt for scrambles and high-risk, high-reward situations which makes me think this fight could be very exciting if it goes to the ground. Everybody just stay in line, and the champion will see you shortly. "Unfortunately, I have to fight her if I want to climb the ranks". It might happen again with Michelle Waterson who vies for her own title shot.
"We've got some new recipes that we're always looking to try and see how it works", he said of the non-stop experimenting and innovating that takes place at AMC Pankration in the months between appearances in the cage.
A former "Ultimate Fighter" finalist and UFC title contender, Namajunas has been near the top of the division since the day she arrived in the promotion. Namajunas however has raw talent, and a ferocious will to win.
Rose's main strengths lie in her incredibly versatile and deceptive striking. I come here, I fight, and they take the belt away from me.
Bayern can still turn it around at Real: Ancelotti
Real may also leave with regrets, as they could have taken a commanding lead into next week's second leg at the Bernabeu. Bale is being sat out with a calf niggle and his fellow front-men will also be rested for the La Liga clash.
Style wise this is going to be a very intriguing match up.
This is a close, competitive fight, but I'm leaning a little towards Namajunas who is more naturally suited to the weight class and has a slight height and reach advantage, together with the more risky submission game that I think may catch out "The Karate Hottie". Michelle Waterson will be the smaller fighter and that could hinder part of her game as she'll need to fight inside of Namajunas' reach but not close enough to wind up clinched for prolonged periods of time.
"I do know her".
Waterson; her husband, Joshua Gomez; and their daughter, Araya, recently were the subject of "Fight Mom", a documentary film.
"Preparing for her, you have to be ready for everything", Waterson said. I want to show the world what I've been doing. "It's just the nature of the game". "It's like "Highlander", there can be only one". This is a big fight for her, and for Rose Namajunas as well.
The hard part about achieving that kind of dominance is that there's nowhere to go but down. The roster's pretty small but there has to be some type of hype for a fight.
Waterson is prepared for whatever verbal assault any potential challengers might throw at her because ultimately she'll get to settle the score in the Octagon and thus far that has been working out quite well for her.
