Known as ‘The Karate Hottie’, this 30-year-old was a model before pursuing her dreams in martial arts. A former Invicta FC champion, Michelle holds a perfect record since arriving in UFC®’s straw weight division. We caught up with Michelle when she was here for the UFC Fight Night® in Singapore in June, and this is what she says about being a MMA fighter, mama to her daughter, Araya, and what body confidence means to her.
“If I had not become a professional fighter, I’d still be doing something involving martial arts - be it teaching or doing stunt work or movies, as a martial artist.”
“I keep my daughter involved in my training and will make sure to let her know how much a part of it she is. Giving her a sense of ownership for my career allows her to be proud of me; she’s definitely a huge part of my journey.”
