Felice Herrig vs Michelle Waterson added to Oct. 6 UFC show

Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Journal review reported today several matches have been added to UFC 229 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. There are two women's matches. In a Strawweight bout, Felice Herrig will face Michelle Waterson. And in a Bantamweight bout, Yana Kunitskaya will face Lina Lansberg. Felice is 33 years old from Schaumberg, IL. Her record is 14-7 and she is 5-2 in the UFC. She trains with former UFC fighter Jeff Curran. Felice went on a four fight winning streak and it looked like she might be able to get into the title picture. But she lost in Apr. to Karolina Kowalkiewicz by split decision. It probably should have been a unanimous decision. Felice just didn't do enough. Karolina is a notorious points fighter and Felice wasn't aggressive enough. Michelle is 32 years old. She trains at Jackson Wink in New Mexico. Her record is 15-6 and she's 3-2 in the UFC. She's a former Invicta Atomweight Champion. Michelle is undersized at Strawweight and that's been obvious in her losses. If Felice is aggressive, her size advantage should help. She must win to get back into the title picture. Yana Kunitskaya and Lina Lansberg both came to the UFC as members of the Cris Cyborg sacrifice club. Now both fight at Bantamweight. Yana is 28 years old from Saint Petersberg, Russia. Her record is 10-4-1NC and she is 0-1 in the UFC. She is a former Invicta Bantamweight Champion. I've seen her over the years and she was heavily protected when she fought at home. She's an OK fighter but nothing special. Lina is 36 years old from Malmo, Sweden. Her record is 8-3 and 2-2 in the UFC. She trains with former UFC fighter Akira Corassani. Lina is a kickboxer with zero ground game. I don't believe she is a UFC caliber fighter. BTW, this will be Lina's first ever fight in the US. So I don't like either of them but Yana is a bit better.
