The UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada once again played host to a high-octane fight card. Tonight's UFC Vegas 10 event featured twelve fights, headlined by a women's strawweight clash between former Invicta Atomweight champion Michelle Waterson and Angela Hill.
Michelle Waterson headed into the fight, looking to bounce back strongly from back-to-back decision losses against Carla Esparza and Joanna Jedrzejczyk respectively. The last time "Karate Hottie" won inside the Octagon was back in March 2019 against Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
On the other hand, Angela Hill entered tonight’s fight on the back of a controversial split decision loss to Claudia Gadelha, which ended Hill's impressive three-fight win streak.
Michelle Waterson and Angela Hill engaged in a brutal five-round war in the main event of UFC Vegas 10. The fight was too close to call at the end of five rounds but Michelle Waterson managed to edge out "Overkill" by a hard-fought split decision win in the main event.
