The Karate Hottie: Michelle Waterson

When we say her body is kickin’, it isn’t just a terrible pick up line. Michelle Waterson is the Karate Hottie you need to know about. Read on to find out more!

Standing at only 5’4 and 105 lbs, at first glance Michelle Waterson looks more like a kitten than the ferocious ass kicking tiger that she is. This kitten definitely has claws though, and has been a fixture in the world of women’s mixed martial arts since 2008.

The pint sized pugilist nicknamed the “Karate Hottie” is a trained killer in the arts of Karate, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, and boxing. She is the current #1 ranked atomweight(105lbs) in the world, #6 ranked pound for pound female mixed martial artist on the planet, and former Invicta Fighting Championships atomweight champion.

When she is not fighting for the premiere fight league for female mixed martial artists, Invicta FC, Waterson has found time outside the ring to be a contestant on Ninja Warrior, a reality T.V. star, and bully repellent on MTV’s Bully Beatdown. Oh and she even found time to be a mother when she gave birth to her daughter Araya in 2011.

She hasn’t fought since 2014 when she lost her strap to Herica Tiburcio,  but we are sure that the Karate Hottie will be back in the cage kicking ass and taking names in no time soon. Maybe it will be back in Invicta or maybe even in the UFC where they are aggressively expanding their women’s weight class divisions. Only time will tell.

In the meantime check out these pics of the Karate Hottie in all her ass kicking glory!

We feel bad for the guy that asks out Michelle’s daughter one day. Forget the dad we are more scared the mom will kick his ass if he doesn’t get her back by curfew!

One of Michelle’s lesser known fighting moves? The Ultra Man Solar beam!

We get it Michelle, you can kick our ass AND have a better one. Quit rubbing it in.

When she’s not breaking bones she’s breaking hearts.

Nike better sponsor her or we are switching to Reebok.

For many women they want you to put a ring on it, for Michelle she wants to put herself in the ring.

You think she is fierce in the cage? Wait until she hits the buffet after cutting weight and kicking ass.

Boot to the head.

We dare you to say something vulgar. DAREEEES YA!

We thought WMMA pioneer Gina Carrano was the only one that could rock that hair cut. We were wrong.

Even in a bikini photoshoot she keeps her dukes up.

 

That’s a canoe worth fighting for.

Dressed like Grimace. Kicks like a mule.

 

What a BAMF. Don’t let her good looks fool you, she is down to throwdown.
