Dude, you're wrong. Don't argue with me about this. Michelle is one of my best friends, (she favorited a Twitter post of mine in 2012) and that gif is like 6 years old, when she walked around about 10lbs less than she does now.
Her last few fights at 105 were HARD weight cuts. In fact, the last one probably played a huge part in her defeat.
Ham was never a big 105er, and she even avoided Waterson when offered a shot at the belt because she felt Michelle was too big.
At this point, honestly, I think you are trolling. Waterson is an average size 115er and Ham is a small one. Everyone who knows anything knows this.
I'm the one trolling?..
I show you two UFC era pics, you ignore them. Apparently the 'significant difference' is not observable by eye?
I show you the gif proving that Waterson has thin bones - you dismiss it as too old. Is that really your argument: bones got thicker through her late twenties?
I honestly haven't heard anything about Ham refusing the fight specifically because her team considered Waterson to be too big, but it seems very strange given Ham's history at SW and her willingness to return to the division, taking on Calderwood and Casey, both of whom dwarf Waterson.
