UFC Fight Night odds for the main event

Michelle Waterson vs Angela Hill

Nicknamed the "Karate Hottie", Waterson (+110) has a background in karate and made the transition from modeling and being a ring girl to fighting inside the octagon. She's more than just a pretty face though, going 17-8 in her career and currently the No. 7 contender in the women's strawweight division.

Although Waterson is coming off back-to-back losses, the first was against one of the best female fighters on the planet in Joanna J?drzejczyk and the second defeat was a very close decision loss to Carla Esparza.

Hill (-138) is No. 13 in the UFC women's strawweight rankings and is fresh off a split-decision loss to Claudia Gadelha in May. Hill thought she won that fight and 13 of 17 members of the media agreed, scoring the fight in her favor. 

Hill is an active fighter with an advanced striking game although she has been exposed on the ground in the past. She's 12-8 in her career but has won three of her last four fights.
