Michelle Waterson was outclassed but she sure can take a whooping ngl This alone commands respect. Marina Rodriguez seems like a class act, she put the beats on her opponent while showing respect unlike many other fighters. The genuine hug at the end of the video was wholesome asf
Marina Rodriguez was so relaxed and in control, she probably could gone 10 rounds without being winded. Reminds me of the Ronda Rousey fight when Ronda kept trying to keep the fight on the ground, and Holly Holmes just kick box her until she was to gased to fight or block. Michelle is a skilled kicker, yet she was too fatigued to execute a powerful strike.
Damn Rodriguez really dominated everywhere. To think Michelle Waterson is facing another good grappler in Gillian Robertson (in june), I hope she'll create the upset but this is not looking good.
What blew me away is that Marina used very little that was unique to MMA, most of what she did was straight Muaythai Waterson would have taken fewer shots to the face if she had parried more, and if she had used her karate background to fight on the outside and forced her opponent to wrestle, Marina would have played more into that part of Michelle's game. Eventually Waterson got finished off her own take down against the fence, which seems to be where Marina is the strongest, at least in this fight. Fighting against the cage and using Michelle's wrestling against her seems to have been the game plan That's the thing about wrestling If your background is BJJ, your opponent's answer doesn't involve using your BJJ against you If you're a striker, your opponent has very little to use against you so that your own strikes are to your disadvantage, maybe a wrestler can use your high kicks against you, boxing and low kicks (dutch kickboxing) is harder to do that against. If you're a wrestler on the other hand, a muay thai fighter is strong in the clinch and a BJJ fighter can work submissions off the ground, thus weaponizing your wrestling against you, which is what Marina did to Michelle in the clinch
That was such a Mismatch of epic levels. Live to fight another day Michell. I hope you don’t take any more punishment before you start thinking of retirement ? You gave all to the sport you love.
unfortunately for Waterson, she has zero power. Kinda hard to keep someone like Rodriguez off of you when you can tag her right on the chin and she walks right through it.
Michelle waterson went for the takedown too early. It was a wrong move. It's all about stamina. Her opponent still has full stamina. Take down is not gonna work that way. It was a very poor start from her. Wrong move.
I like Michelle but I think she lacks the skills to be in the UFC and needs someone she respects to come to her aid by insisting she quits. I hope she doesn’t get CTE.
You realize she is 100x more better striker then Gina Caranoor Ronda Rousey miesha Tate she is Holly holm best friend and training partner she is tough as nails she just got caught
Тут всё очевидно Бразилия сильнее Америки я не удивлён Бразилия моя любимая страна а Америку я ненавижу и Украину тоже поскорее бы война закончилась Россия не виновата что Украина начала войну почему Россия должна страдать из-за этого если у Украины президент клоун я не виноват что он такой .

IDK Michelle didn't seem like she was putting out 100% marina was pretty on point though. Ain't the first time I've seen the hottie lose she's a warrior. Good for Marina 👍
