Michelle Waterson vs. Angela Hill scorecard
It was a fight to the finish in the UFC Vegas 10 headliner between Michelle Waterson and Angela Hill, and the judges’ scorecards reflected diverging opinions.
Here is the scorecard for the fight, which Waterson took via split decision.
Judges Chris Lee, Sal D’Amato and Derek Cleary agreed on Rounds 3 and 4, awarding Waterson 10-9 scores; Waterson dominated Hill on the canvas in the third and won the striking battle in the fourth.
The judges diverged on Rounds 1, 2 and 5. Lee and Cleary gave Hill Rounds 1 and 2, while D’Amato gave Hill Round 1 and Waterson Round 2. D’Amato and Cleary agreed on Round 5, awarding Waterson the 10-9 score, while Lee dissented for Hill.
Waterson snapped a two-fight skid while Hill suffered her second straight setback via split decision.
Waterson said the fear of a potential three-fight losing skid was something that never entered her mind throughout training camp. Instead, she focused on the possibility of what is potentially at stake for her should she win emphatically considering that injuries and maternity leave have shelved three of the seven fighters ranked above her by the UFC, meaning a title shot is never out of the question given her level of celebrity.
"My focus is just to get better and unleash what's inside of me," Waterson said. "I've been doing martial arts for over 25 years. This fight camp, I've really embraced to love what I do and go out there and utilize all the tools that I have and to not restrict myself from any of it. I'm not just a standup fighter. I have an amazing, world-renowned wrestling coach and a husband -- who is an amazing boxer in his own right -- sharpening my tools."
When asked about getting the call to headline the fight card, Waterson pointed out her division's reputation within the UFC for always putting on exciting fights and that both fighters will be hungry coming off controversial defeats. While Waterson praised Hill for her grit, volume striking and scrappiness, Hill pointed out her need to make sure she provides the judges with enough reason to give her the nod should the fight go the distance.
"Michelle is tricky. She has her hip throws and has pretty quick transitions. She's a good scrambler," Hill said. "Those are the things that I'll be looking for, just trying to hit her more and draw out her attacks. I need to make sure that I'm pushing the pace and not letting her get ahead of me with her volume. It's one of the reasons she usually gets decisions when it's close and one of the reasons I usually lose those divisions. I need to pick up the pace and just mash her up."
Entering undoubtedly her biggest opportunity since rejoining the UFC in 2017 following a run as Invicta FC champion, Hill believes she's finally on the doorstep of where she wanted to be all along.
"I've always been up against the hardest people and I've always done well against them and been competitive," Hill said. "When it didn't go my way, I still didn't get the respect that people who were paying attention thought I deserved.
"Now I can see the growth and how far I've come when it comes to the fandom that's attached to me. I can see how far I've come skill wise. People are finally able to see the value of what I bring to women's MMA after grinding for so many years and trying to make a name for myself. I feel like it's all happening."
This card also marks the return of some veteran names looking for big wins. Bobby Green, the longtime lightweight, has come back to life in his last few trips to the Octagon and is looking to add another name to his resume when he takes on Alan Patrick at 155 pounds. Green, 34, has already won two fights this summer and could be one of the biggest winners of this quarantine season with another on Saturday. Plus, Roxanne Modaferri is back when she takes on Andrea Lee at flyweight. Modaferri shocked the world in January when she beat red-hot prospect Maycee Barber, but fell to Lauren Murphy her next time out.
