Michelle Waterson takes on Angela Hill in the main event spot at UFC Vegas 10 main event after Glover Teixeira tests positive for Covid-19.
Michelle Waterson returns to headline UFC Vegas 10 main event after Covid-19 forces yet another cancellation.
After Glover Teixeira tested positive for Covid-19, next Saturday’s UFC main event looked in crisis. However, according to BJPenn.com, Waterson vs. Hill has been promoted to the vacant main event slot.
The bout will also be upgraded to five rounds, which is very surprising considering the change is at such short notice. Short notice promotions to the main event usually involve the fight remaining three-rounds. For example, Last Saturday’s main event between Aleksandar Rakic and Anthony Smith remained only three-rounds. This was despite it being promoted to the main event at short notice following Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Yair Rodriguez falling through.
Michelle Waterson will be looking to put an end to her two-fight losing streak next Saturday. This streak consists of Waterson dropping a tight split decision to Carla Esparza at UFC 249, and losing to Joanna Jedrzejczyk by decision in the main event spot at UFC Tampa.
Angela Hill will also be looking to bounce back from defeat after a controversial split decision loss to Claudia Gadelha in May. This loss crushed her impressive three-fight winning streak. During her run, “Overkill” collected stoppage wins over Ariane Carnelossi, Hannah Cifers, and a decision win over Loma Lookboonmee. Hill currently sits at 13th in the UFCs strawweight rankings.
Waterson is no stranger to main eventing in the UFC, with this being her third. However, this is the first time Hill will be headlining a card. There is plenty to fight for in this five-round bout, with the winner having a good argument for challenging a top-five opponent and be only one or two wins away from a title shot.
Who do you think wins, Michelle Waterson or Angela Hill?

Light-heavyweight contender Glover Teixeira has tested positive for coronavirus and therefore will no longer be fighting Thiago Santos on September 12 according to a report from Combate that reads. “The Brazilian duel between Thiago Marreta and Glover Teixeira, which would be the main UFC fight scheduled for September 12 in Las Vegas (USA), will no […]
Light-heavyweight contender Glover Teixeira has tested positive for coronavirus and therefore will no longer be fighting Thiago Santos on September 12 according to a report from Combate that reads.
“The Brazilian duel between Thiago Marreta and Glover Teixeira, which would be the main UFC fight scheduled for September 12 in Las Vegas (USA), will no longer happen on this date. The Combat found out exclusively that Glover Teixeira was diagnosed with Covid-19 in an examination done this week in the USA, and the result of which was revealed to the athlete on Wednesday. With that, the fight was postponed to October 3.”
Teixeira-Santos will likely decide who is next in line for the winner of Dominick Reyes vs. Jan Blachowicz who square off at UFC 253 for the currently vacant light-heavyweight title.
The 40-year-old Brazilian is currently on a four-fight winning streak. Last time out Teixeira pulled off a significant upset when he dominated former title challenger Anthony Smith on route to a fifth-round stoppage victory. Prior to that, he picked up wins over Karl Roberson, Ion Cutelaba, and Nikita Krylov.
Santos is fighting for the first time since losing a controversial split decision against former light-heavyweight king Jon Jones at UFC 239 in July 2019. During the fight ‘Marreta’ sustained a torn left LCL, PCL, MCL, meniscus and cracked Tibia along with a partially torn right ACL – he has been healing up ever since.

Thiago Santos will make his return to the octagon against Glover Teixeira on September 12 in a battle between two of the very best in the light-heavyweight division.

Thiago Santos will make his return to the octagon against Glover Teixeira on September 12 in a battle between two of the very best in the light-heavyweight division. Brett Okamoto of ESPN broke news of the Santos vs. Teixeira matchup last night, he wrote on social media.
“Breaking: UFC in the process of finalizing Glover Teixeira vs. Thiago Santos to headline event on Sept. 12, per sources.”
The winner will likely become next in line for a shot at 205lb champion Jon Jones should he choose to continue fighting in the UFC. Jones has previously said he wishes to relinquish his title and sit out until the promotion pays him fairly. If his title does become vacant it seems likely the UFC will make a fight between Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz for the belt. The winner of that fight will then have to face off against either Santos or Teixeira in their first defence.
Santos is returning to the cage for the first time since dropping a split decision against Jones in June 2019. The Brazilian tore multiple ligaments in his left knee in the bout and has only just got back to full fitness. Santos is currently ranked #2 at light-heavyweight and holds several high-profile wins over the likes of Jan Blachowicz, Jimi Manuwa, Anthony Smith, and Jack Hermansson.
Teixeira has been super active lately, he currently rides a four-fight win streak. The 40-year-old Brazilian picked up a huge win against Anthony Smith at UFC Jacksonville earlier this year. Teixeira put a brutal beating on Smith in a fight he was an underdog heading into. He now sits at #5 in the division and on the cusp of another light-heavyweight title shot if he can get by Santos.
