Co-main event. Women's strawweights. "The Karate Hottie," Michelle Waterson, makes the walk first. She's out to "Feeling Good" by Avicii.

And "Thug" Rose Namajunas comes out to "Dis Generation" by A Tribe Called Quest.

Isn't it mandatory for Waterson to give up back control from the head and arm throw?

— Yves Edwards (@thugjitsumaster) April 16, 2017

Has there ever been a girl fight without a headlock? Is that legal?
