Michelle Waterson Looking To Return To UFC In March

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Michelle Waterson said she’s hoping to return to the UFC in March, possibly against Felice Herrig or Carla Esparza. Here are highlights:

On her return: “I’m really looking forward to watching the bout tonight between Carla (Esparza) and Cynthia (Calvillo at UFC 219). I think either one of those girls would be a fun match for me. Also, I know Felice (Herrig) has been on a four-fight win streak. She and I kind of grew up in the sport together; I think that would be an entertaining fight. But at this point, I just want to get in the win column, so we’ll see who they give me.”

On feeling comfortable at 115 pounds: “I worry less about cutting weight and more about training, and I think that’s more important. I’d rather take that advantage. But never say never. If (the atomweight division) opens and it’s a good opportunity for me, then we’ll see where it takes me.”
