“The Karate Hottie” Michelle Waterson came up short in the co-main event of “UFC on FOX 24”, getting submitted by “Thug” Rose Namajunas in the second round. After the fight, Waterson sported a face that was covered in swells, bruises, and cuts.
In a normal job, leaving her shift with her face marked up like that would be a cause for concern amongst her children. In the fight business, however, Waterson revealed to Champions.CO that her daughter had just one question for her:
“She watched the fight. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. Kids can be brutally honest and sometimes that’s a good trait. They took me to hospital right away after the fight as they wanted to make sure I was okay.”
“I didn’t get back until midnight, but my daughter waited up because she wanted to see me. … The first thing she did was look into my eyes and ask me if I was okay—that was all she cared about”
