Michelle Waterson-Gomez

Michelle Waterson-Gomez, better known as "The Karate Hottie", brings a 18-13 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as women's strawweight, every single win matters.

The ground is where fights end: 9 wins by submission (50% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.

He's coming off a loss to Gillian Robertson. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

At 40, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
