Female UFC Star Talks Tyson Fury, Wants Vasyl Lomachenko To Fight In MMA

Female UFC star Michelle Waterson talks about Tyson Fury and wants Vasyl Lomachenko to fight in MMA.

Strawweight sensation Waterson also known as “Karate Hottie,” is one of the most sought-after UFC fighters in the women’s division today. And in a recent video uploaded by Fighthype.com, Waterson revealed her favorite boxers of all-time.

According to Waterson, she enjoys watching the new (Mike) Tyson compared to the Tyson in his prime. She also explained what makes Fury one of the best fighters in the world today.

“I have a couple, actually I really been enjoying (Mike) Tyson, and not the old school Tyson (but) the new school Tyson,” Waterson revealed.

“Tyson Fury? Yeah! I really been enjoying him. I love his personality, his so charismatic. He’s so just genuine in everything that he does. I think he’s very entertaining. And has the right mentality of fighting,” Waterson explained.

The UFC “hottie” also admitted that she enjoys watching Lomachenko and Canelo Alvarez. As per Waterson, Lomachenko would do great in MMA as well.

“I also like watching (Vasyl) Lomachenko. I think he’s an amazing fighter. I think I would love to see him get into MMA,” Waterson said.

Waterson just lost to former UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC Fight Night 161. Jedrzejczyk appears to have worked her way back into a fight for the UFC women's strawweight championship after a dominant performance over a tough Waterson. The former champ was declared the winner via unanimous decision after five rounds of hard-fought action.

After her victorious win, Jedrzejczyk revealed the one thing she has been longing for quite some time – a title shot against newly crowned strawweight champ Weili Zhang. If the said fight will materialize, it will be Jedrzejczyk’s attempt to regain the championship she has held for nearly three years.

"Who is the real queen? Bow down, bow down. I am the real queen. [UFC president Dana White], I'll call you in a minute," Jedrzejczyk said after beating Waterson.

Meanwhile, an emotional Waterson tried to hold back her tears as she addressed the loss. According to Waterson, she knew where she made mistakes and would go back to the drawing board.

"My intention wasn't to come in here tonight and take a lot of damage. My intention was to win. That's the name of the game and you have to keep coming forward. I was honored to share the Octagon with Joanna. It's a huge mental feat to be able to stay focused all through fight camp," Waterson stated.
