When Hailey Welch, also known as the viral Hawk Tuah Girl, was invited to join Asim Zaidi at the July 25 Karate Combat fight between Sam Alvey and Antonio Arroyo, where he asked who she\u2019d like to take on in a match. Welch chose singer and professional dancer JoJo Siwa, and while combat sports fans weren\u2019t happy at the prospect, it seems the potential match might not be out of the question after all. That is because Welch has now been offered professional training from Michelle Waterson, the former No. 1 women\u2019s atomweight fighter in the world and former Invicta FC Atomweight Champion. Following the Karate Combat event, Waterson spoke to Welch and made the 22-year-old an offer in case her fight with Siwa came to fruition. \u201cListen here girl, if you do end up fighting Jojo Siwa, come down to __,\u201d Waterson said. \u201cI\u2019ll train you, alright?\u201d Waterson went on to say that she would \u201cget [Welch] ready\u201d for karate combat, Zaidi chiming in to call the viral Hawk Tuah Girl \u201cAmerica\u2019s sweetheart\u201d. Welch was evidently keen, responding with an enthusiastic, \u201cHell yeah\u201d. Not everyone was confident in Welch\u2019s fighting abilities, however, with Mike Majlak insisting the internet sensation \u201cdoes not want that fight\u201d. He claimed Siwa was \u201clike six foot six\u201d and would \u201cdemolish\u201d Welch (the singer is in fact 5 foot 9). \u201cJojo Siwa is like the Bradley Martyn of the female influencer community,\u201d Majlak said. But while he remained unconvinced Welch stood a chance, Josh Palmer believed the Hawk Tuah Girl could out victorious: \u201cHailey, I got to say, Mike doubts you, please prove him wrong.\u201d As of now, Siwa has yet to respond to Welch\u2019s challenge, leaving the potential match\u2019s probability in the air. We\u2019ll be sure to update you if that changes at any time in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hawk Tuah Girl Haliey Welch agrees to MMA training with UFC vet for JoJo Siwa fight X: UFCFightPassA former professional mixed martial artist has offered to train the Hawk Tuah Girl after she called out JoJo Siwa for a potential fight.
