The martial arts world is doing handstands - and it's not part of their attack.

They're excited about Michelle Waterson, UFC's latest female signing, who will compete in the women’s UFC 115-pound (52kg) division.

And I don't care if you can lift dumbbells that heavy - she'd still put you on the floor quicker than a set of lunges!

Michelle is only 29-years-old and many people are excited about her future ahead.

From Colorado, Michelle is of Thai descent and has been a karate student from the age of 10.

She holds a black belt in American freestyle karate and also has a history training in WuShu, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing and wrestling.

FIGHTING IN THE UFC

Michelle comes to the UFC with a pretty impressive record - 12-4 with 6 wins in her last 7 fights. 

And she's no stranger to fighting big names - in 2013 she lavished in a submission victory over No. 3-ranked UFC strawweight Jessica Penne.

There's no doubt a match between Michelle and Ronda Rousey would sell a few tickets.

Check out some of Michelle in action below.
