Michelle Waterson
It’s hard to believe, but this strawweight MMA fighter stands just 5-foot-3. Since it’s tougher to get knocked down inside the ring, we suppose her stature has helped her a bit. She began freestyle karate training at the age of 11 and has since earned a black belt.

You can see a tattoo of a lotus blossom on her left side in a unique tribal wheel. It was done by Johnnmac Howell, and it took more than a few hours to complete due to the design’s complexity. She chose this unique tattoo since it symbolizes beauty and strength.
