Michelle Waterson and Angela Hill will officially headline this Saturday’s event.
Originally, top light heavyweights Glover Teixeira and Thiago Santos were set to headline the UFC Vegas 10 show this weekend; however, Teixiera tested positive for the coronavirus, thus the match-up has been rescheduled for the UFC Fight Night show on Oct. 3.
Now, MMA Fighting has confirmed that the two top strawweights will headline the upcoming event that features Bobby Green vs. Alan Patrick and Roxanne Modafferi vs. Andrea Lee.
Coming in, Michelle Watson is currently on a two-fight losing streak, dropping bouts to both Joanna Jędrzejczyk (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 161) and Carla Esparza (via split decision at UFC 249). Waterson hasn’t won a bout in over a year, though she has three victories in her last five fights. Her professional record currently stands at 17 wins and 8 loses.
Angela Hill is also coming off a big loss to Cláudia Gadelha at UFC on ESPN 8. That defeat snapped a strong three-fight winning streak that saw the strawweight drop Ariane Carnelossi (via TKO at UFC Fight Night 159), Hannah Cifers (via TKO at UFC Fight Night 166), and Loma Lookboonmee (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 168). Hill’s professional record currently stands at 12 wins and 8 losses.
UFC Vegas 10 takes place at UFC APEX in Las Vegas and airs exclusively on the ESPN+ streaming service.
