Michelle Waterson-Gomez plans to always be involved in MMA one way or another, and commentary could fill that void once her competitive career concludes. Although she’s served as a desk analyst for the UFC during the FOX Sports era and Invicta FC, Waterson-Gomez (18-10 MMA, 6-6 UFC) will do something Friday she’s never done before: cage-side commentary. Days after Laura Sanko became the first woman in modern UFC history to call a fight, Waterson-Gomez was named lead commentator for Combat FC 3 , furthering the representation of women calling internationally streamed fights. The event takes place Friday at Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington, Mass., and streams on UFC Fight Pass after prelims on Facebook . Waterson-Gomez will call the fights alongside longtime broadcaster and former Bellator commentator Sean Wheelock. “I think it will be really cool because commentary is a little bit different than analyzing where I get to sit down and enjoy the fights and just talk about what I see in live time,” Waterson-Gomez told MMA Junkie on Wednesday.
