The strawweight clash between Michelle “The Karate Hottie” Waterson and Angela “Overkill” Hill at UFC Vegas 10 on September 12, 2020, remains one of the most technical and gritty displays in the division’s history. Originally scheduled as a co-main event, the bout was elevated to the headlining slot after the original main event (Teixeira vs. Santos) was postponed. This shift allowed Angela Hill to make history as the first African American woman to headline a UFC event.
The fight was a classic tale of two halves across five high-paced rounds. The final bell saw both women bloodied and exhausted, having combined for over 230 significant strikes. The judges’ scorecards reflected the razor-thin margins: a split decision (47–48, 49–46, 48–47) in favor of Michelle Waterson.
