UFC VEGAS 10: Waterson vs. Hill - The 6th Round Post-Fight Show
by June M. WilliamsEddie Mercado & Dayne Fox are here to breakdown the UFC VEGAS 10 event, with hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event in the player above or on our Bloody Elbow Presents YouTube Channel and BE Presents Podcast Network. (SPOILERS...)
This Saturday’s, September 12th., Fight Night event, broadcast from the APEX Fight Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, showcased a women’s strawweight bout between Michelle ‘The Karate Hottie’ Waterson and Angela ‘Overkill’ Hill. Hill making UFC history tonight being the first African-American woman to headline a main event, but it was not to be her night, Waterson happily accepted a split decision victory after 25 minutes of jam-packed action; in the co-main event of the night: in only two trips to the Octagon, lightweight prospect the ‘Bulldozer’ Ottman Azaitar has now blitzed two opponents in the opening round, ‘The Deathstar’ was anxious to debate the 1:33 1st round victory... until he caught the replay; Azaitar has now scored ten wins via knockout. — In the main card opener, we saw rising featherweight prospect Billy Quarantillo finish brawler Kyle Nelson via 3rd round KO/TKO, followed up by a dominant decision victory for ‘King’ Bobby Green, and a last minute Kimura win by Ed ‘Short Fuse’ Herman over ‘Slow’ Mike. Bloody Elbow’s own Roxanne ‘The Happy Warrior’ Modafferi battled it out to the judges scorecards for another win tonight against Andrea “KGB’ Lee right before the co-main event of the evening.
Let’s run down the early portion of the event: We ended up starting the undercard portion of the night with five finishes out of seven bouts. In our opener, Sabina Mazo pulled off the biggest win of her career, when the amazonian women’s flyweight prospect ended Justine Kish via 3rd round Sub. Just about the time we were recovering from that finish, the “Tarantula”, Jalin Turner tortured Brok Weaver all the way to a 2nd round Sub — to keep the finishes coming, we had our undefeated heavyweight prospect, Alexander Romanov, perform like a steamroller when the Moldovan fighter dominated veteran Roque Martinez to earn a Sub in the 2nd round. As if this wasn’t enough action for the prelims, Kevin Croom was the standout tonight, making the most of his UFC debut when the veteran fighter finished heavy favorite, Roosevelt Roberts, with a 31-second Sub.
Rounding things out, bonuses for putting forth POTN efforts went to Ottman Azaitar and Kevin Croom, and FOTN honors went to the main event: Waterson vs. Hill. Overall, this massive twelve-bout card saw two swift finishes in Round 1, five submissions, had a total of two KO/TKOs, and five decisions; one split (the MAIN EVENT)... what a fun night of fights we have to discuss with you!
