\u2018The Karate Hottie\u2019 Michelle Waterson is sporting a much different look ahead of her newly announced UFC return. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday news broke that Waterson (18-9 MMA) had booked a fight<\/a> with fellow strawweight standout Amanda Ribas (11-2 MMA) for a UFC Fight Night event on March 26.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michelle Waterson most recently competed back in May, where she suffered a unanimous decision setback to Marina Rodriguez. The 35-year-old veteran has gone just 1-3 over her past four Octagon appearances and is looking to get back to her winning ways this Spring. <\/span><\/p>\n

As seen in the photos below, \u2018The Karate Hottie\u2019 looks a lot different since we last saw her in action. Waterson is now rocking a new hairdo in addition to putting on some mass.<\/span><\/p>\n
