What It Means: Although “The Karate Hottie” is known for her fast and technical standup attack, more than half of the 34-year-old’s wins have come by submission, including both her finishes in the UFC. On the feet, though, she is constantly darting in and out of the pocket, using a variety of fast kicks at distance. In the clinch and against the fence, Waterson is plenty strong, and secures a lot of takedowns using hip tosses and other judo-like throws that put her in quick position to fish for a submission.
