Michelle Waterson wins in Strikeforce

According to my stats, Michelle Waterson has become very popular on this blog the last couple of days, all via Google search. So as a public service, here is video of Michelle's win over Tyra Parker at last night's Strikeforce show in Bloomfield, CO. Michelle is known as the Karate Hottie and has really improved since she's training with Greg Jackson. And she's signed to EliteXC. Tyra was a late replacement when Brandy Nerney pulled out. She didn't make weight and clearly was unprepared to fight. It's unfortunate for Michelle as I'd like to see her against better competition. Tyra attempted some wild punches but Michelle was patient and under control and after a couple of knee strikes, got a rear naked choke on Tyra and it was over at 1:20 of round one. As was mentioned on the broadcast, there just aren't a lot of 115lb fighters in North America but of course Japan is a different story. Michelle Waterson's record is now 4-2 and Tyra Parker is 0-2. Enjoy the match!.

    Frank, defshepard here. Michelle Waterson is the real deal allright. She can fight! I only hope Tyra Parker doesn't quit. She looked good and I think with more trainning and work could be a strong fighter in the futrue. That was short but intense fight and a good one. I hope we see more of Michelle in the futrue.
