Well, Michelle Waterson went into UFC on FOX 22 with far less spotlight than her popular opponent, Paige VanZant, but she left the card on a much higher note.
Waterson stopped VanZant in the opening round of their main event, and UFC Twitter showed their love for the “Karate Hottie” in the latest edition of Hot Tweets.
Wow!!! Jiu-Jitsu hottie? #UFCSacramento

That’s how you try to defend a RNC. PVZ never quits in tough positions. Congrats to Watterson! NASTY headlock & backtake #UFCSacramento

.@karatehottiemma might be the most likable fighter in the @ufc, humble, family-centered, gracious post-fight interview.
