Michelle ‘Karate Hottie’ Waterson is very flexible

MICHELLE Waterson has been hitting the gym hard in preparation for her UFC debut — and her workouts are ridiculous.

‘Karate Hottie’ is really flexible

FORMER Invicta FC atomweight champion Michelle Waterson will make the jump to the UFC this summer when she takes on Angela Magana at “The Ultimate Fighter” finale on July 12.

But until then, “The Karate Hottie” has been hitting the gym hard to make sure her body is in top-notch condition for her Octagon debut.

Obviously, that involves a whole bunch of Street Fighter-style kicks.

And a couple of stretches that make our bodies ache just watching.

Waterson has won six of her last seven fights.

Five of those wins came by way of submission or knockout, including a fourth-round submission of UFC strawweight title contender Jessica Penne in 2013.

With these types of moves, Waterson could give Jean Claude Van Damme a run for his money.
