"The Karate Hottie" Michelle Waterson has her first fight set after signing with the UFC this week, as she'll take on Ultimate Fighter 20 vet Angela Magana at The Ultimate Fighter 21 Finale.
The UFC announced the bout on Wednesday night.
Waterson makes the jump from Invicta FC, where she held the Atomweight Championship before her most recent loss, a submission against Herica Tiburcio. The 29-year-old had won six straight fights prior to the loss, and brings a 12-4 record into her UFC debut.
The 31-year-old Magana has lost three straight professional fights, most recently dropping a decision against Tecia Torres in her UFC debut.
The Ultimate Fighter 21 Finale will air live on Fox Sports 1 on July 12, and is expected to be headlined by a fight between Benson Henderson and Michael Johnson in Florida.
