Angela Hill vs. Jingnan Xiong
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Xiong (-210); Hill (+175)

Round 1
Former ONE champ Xiong (19-2) has been one of the top women operating outside the UFC for at least six years. She finally makes her Octagon debut against “Overkill” Hill (18-16), who has been in the thick of things in the UFC strawweight division literally since the beginning. Mark Craig draws his first referee assignment of the evening. Hill declines the glove touch offered by Xiong and they’re off to work, both women in orthodox stance. Xiong hurts Hill with a couple of punches, but Hill comes right back and lands a three-piece flurry that sits the Chinese fighter down for an instant, more off-balance than hurt. Hill pursues and meet Xiong by the fence, where she takes the Thai clinch and tries to drive some knees up the middle. Xiong shucks her off and lands a couple of hard punches, and they break away from the fence. Two minutes down in a frenetic first round and Hill again grabs the Thai plam against the fence, kneeing Xiong in the gut and then throwing a front kick to the head when Xiong breaks the clinch. They meet again and Hill looks for a guillotine, but can’t get it. Xiong sticks Hill with a hard one-two, then gets rocked by a lovely flying knee-to-punch combination. Ninety seconds to go and Hill steps into the pocket, meeting Xiong with another intercepting knee. Hill stalks forward and catches Xiong with another knee, then a front kick up the middle. Xiong is still throwing back, but is clearly taken aback by the American’s relentless attack. Xiong lands a spinning kick, then grabs a headlock at the 10-second clapper. The horn sounds.
10-9 Hill.

Round 2
Hill comes forward again to open Round 2 and Xiong gives ground, then plants and fires a one-two that glance off the guard. Hill keeps coming forward, landing a jab and a switch kick to the body. Xiong halts Hill’s advance with a nice jab to the body. Xiong meets Hill’s next advance with a spinning backfist that lands cleanly but without much on it. Hill dips a shoulder and drives her foe to the fence, then hooks a leg and dumps Xiong to the mat. She takes top position but can’t get anything underway before the bigger woman surges back to her feet. Xiong steps into the pocket and gets kneed to the face. Xiong comes up short with a pair of hooks and the action slows just a tick in the second half of the frame. Hill hops into the pocket with a jab and right cross, slips the counter and lands a nice right hook. Xiong steps forward and right into another intercepting knee to the body, but comes back with a pair of hard hooks. Xiong takes a level elbow in close quarters, then a knee to the face. The 10-second clapper sounds and Hill comes forward, slapping a glancing kick off Xiong’s face before the horn.
10-9 Hill.

Round 3
If our scorecards are any indicator, Xiong needs to do something big here, and she seems to agree, as she comes forward and lands the first significant blows of the round, a pair of solid hooks. Hill knees her up the middle and within seconds, it’s once again the American on the front foot. Xiong circles away, conscious that Hill is trying to walk her into the fence, and meets an advance with a flurry of hooks to the body. Hill backs off and flicks out a front kick to the belly. Hill slides into the pocket and is met with a glancing elbow to the face. Hill steps in, launches a flying knee that does not land cleanly, but follows up with a front headlock, which she releases quickly. The round is half gone and it’s still very much Hill’s fight, as she is marching forward fearlessly on the bigger woman and landing almost anything she wants. Ninety seconds to go in the round and Xiong is still looking to land the huge shot or shots that might save the day for her, but Hill is throwing, and landing, far more. Hill rushes forward and drives Xiong to the fence where she takes her opponent’s back standing, snaking one leg around for a single hook. She can’t get it, but the last20 seconds find her pursuing her hurt foe along the fence with a swarm of punches, looking for a late finish. The final horn sounds on an absolutely sensational showing by Angela Hill.
10-9 Hill (30-27 Hill).

The Official Result

Expert Picks (17)
AJ
AJ DeVito Expert Lean picked May 26, 2026 (4 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

AJ picks Xiong Jingnan because she has good boxing, national team level, and is accurate with forward pressure. He thinks Xiong will win the battle of real estate and land more impactful shots, while Angela Hill relies on volume and movement. He notes Hill is 41 and coming off two straight losses, though he wants to see weigh-ins to confirm size. He calls it a tricky fight and a coin flip.

Hill at +150; Xiong at -175; over 2.5 rounds at -415; Hill on cards +225; Xiong on cards -125
"I feel like Jing Nan Xiong is going to end up beating a 41-year-old Angela Hill. ... I'm picking Jing Non because I just think she's a little more effective with clean striking and precision boxing."
AJ
AJ DeVito Expert Confident picked May 18, 2026 (12 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

AJ confidently picks Xiong Jingnan, citing her high-level boxing, power, and precision compared to Hill's volume without power. He notes Hill is 41 and slowing, while Xiong is younger (38) and has been inactive but dominant. AJ expects Xiong to land big shots and win a decision, though Hill has never been KO'd. He also mentions Xiong's wrestling defense and ground-and-pound as additional tools.

"I think Jing Nan Xiong is about to beat Angela Hill, which feels crazy to say because we're talking about an Angela Hill who's been on the UFC roster forever. Kind of the queen gatekeeper, but I think Jing Nan is a problem in striking for a 41-year-old Angela Hill."
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked May 27, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

Angelo picks Xiong because she is a powerful striker who moves forward with wild looping punches. He thinks Angela Hill doesn't have the one-punch power to stop that forward pressure, and the judges in China will favor the aggressor. He is not betting on the fight due to the odds.

"I'm picking forward pressure here. Jing Nang is the pick. I'm not touching these odds."
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked May 29, 2026 (fight day)
Xiong Jingnan

Angelo picks Xiong Jingnan, citing her pressure and aggression, and the likelihood of Chinese judges favoring the Chinese fighter. He notes Angela Hill is durable and a live underdog, but expects a decision win for Xiong. He sees more upside in Hill for DraftKings due to potential volume.

decision win expected; Angela Hill may be better DraftKings play
"I'm going to pick Jeang to win because I love the pressure. I love the aggression. She will be in China. It will go to a decision."
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked May 24, 2026 (5 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

Angelo picks Xiong Jingnan despite her age and level of competition concerns, because her aggressive forward pressure and power will not give Angela Hill the space she needs to work. He notes that Angela Hill is a crafty veteran who could implement a grappling game plan, but he favors the home fighter who moves forward and bombs away. He acknowledges the competition gap but believes the style matchup favors Jingnan.

"I'm going to pick Jing Naan here. I'm going to pick her only because of the fight style."
BI
Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked May 26, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Big Brady picks Angela Hill but is hesitant, calling it a 'trap' fight. He notes Hill is older (41) but more active, while Jingnan is 38 and has fought only twice in four years. He believes Hill has a grappling advantage and has never been knocked out, but worries the UFC wants Jingnan to win in China. He says it's a 'dog or pass' fight and he'll probably stay away.

"Give me Angela Hill to win this fight by a very close decision."
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked May 27, 2026 (2 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

Cody picks Xiong Jingnan despite not loving it. He notes that Angela Hill is 41 and often loses close decisions, and that the fight is in China, which may favor the local fighter. He believes Xiong hits harder and is faster, and that Hill's volume may not be enough to sway judges. Cody expects a close fight but thinks Xiong will get the nod.

Fight goes to decision; over rounds
"I think Jingyang Jeang's n she's not young, but she hits a little harder. She's a little faster. She should be I don't I just I I think she does enough to get this thing done."
CO
Connor Ruebusch Expert Hesitant picked May 28, 2026 (1 day before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

Connor picks Xiong Jingnan, noting Hill can make Xiong tired and could win with takedowns, but Hill's offense is ineffectual and she is not physically imposing. Xiong may hit harder in exchanges, similar to how strong punchers have punished Hill recently.

"Xiong may be able to ignore Hill's offense and hit harder in the exchanges, the way strong punchers have punished Hill recently."
JA
Jacob Lines Expert Hesitant picked May 27, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

Jacob picks Xiong but is hesitant because of her age (38) and the trap fight potential. He notes that Angela Hill is durable and has never been knocked out, so if Xiong slows down, Hill could take over. He acknowledges that many people like Hill as a dog.

"I'm picking Jeong. She should have the speed advantage, win a round, win the second round, third round. But if Angela Hill pulls us off, I'm not going to be surprised."
LU
Lucrative James Expert Lean picked May 23, 2026 (6 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Lucrative James picks Angela Hill as a plus money underdog, questioning why Xiong Jingnan is such a big favorite. He notes Hill's durability (not finished since 2019), volume, and experience against top competition, while Xiong has fought lower-level opponents and may have lost her last fight under 1FC rules. He believes Hill can win a decision by outworking Xiong with volume and clinch work.

Angela Hill via decision
"I'm picking Angela Hill to win this fight. I'm picking Angela Hill to win this fight via decision."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked May 25, 2026 (4 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

The host leans with Jingnan, believing she throws with more power than Hill and that her Muay Thai approach will edge her ahead. He notes both fighters are similar stylistically but expects Jingnan's power to be the difference, similar to how Lucindo beat Hill. He still expects a competitive fight and doesn't mind an underdog shot on Hill.

At minus 200, I just don't feel too hot about it.
"I'm going to have to lean with Jing Nan just ever so slightly. I think she throws with a little bit more power than Hill."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked May 27, 2026 (2 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

The host picks Xiong Jingnan over Angela Hill, noting both have Muay Thai bases but Jingnan lands with more emphasis, which will leave a lasting impression on judges. He expects Jingnan to win on the scorecards.

decision victory
"I believe it's going to be Jing Nan who's able to land with a little bit more emphasis and I think that will leave more of an lasting impression to the judges and I think that would lead to her winning this fight on the scorecards."
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked May 27, 2026 (2 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Paul picks Hill as a value play, noting that she has been fighting higher-level competition and that this is a step down. He acknowledges Hill's age and tendency to lose close decisions but thinks +165 is too high for a 50/50 fight. He is concerned about the China factor but believes Hill's experience gives her an edge.

Fight goes to decision; over rounds
"I just think this is like any other Angela Hill fight where she's plus 165 and you go, it's probably a 50/50 fight. Give me Angela Hill at plus 165."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked May 20, 2026 (9 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

The MMA Guru picks Xiong Jingnan to win by decision. He thinks the odds are too wide but still believes Xiong will win. He notes that Xiong is a boxer with offensive skills but poor defense, but Angela Hill is 41 and a striker who won't wrestle. He expects Xiong to pressure and land consistently, winning a decision.

disagrees with odds being this wide
"I do think Jong Jing wins this fight, but I just disagree with the odds being this wide."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked May 26, 2026 (4 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

The Guru picks Jingnan by TKO, likely via body shot to head shot combo. He notes Hill is durable but thinks body shots can put anyone away. He highlights Jingnan's power, body work, and combinations, while Hill lacks power but has volume and toughness. He expects a knockout rather than a decision.

TKO by body shot to head shot combo
"I think Hill's getting knocked out actually. I'm taking Jang by probably body shot to head shot combo."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked May 20, 2026 (9 days before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

The Guru picks Jingnan Xiong despite her age and debut, citing her elite boxing fundamentals, brutal body hooks, and takedown defense. He believes her power will be too much for Angela Hill, who is a volume point-fighter without real power. He expects Jingnan to time right-hand shots and land heavier punches.

"My pick is going to be Jing Nang Xiong to win this fight."
ZA
Zane Simon Expert Hesitant picked May 28, 2026 (1 day before fight)
Xiong Jingnan

Zane picks Xiong Jingnan as a gamble on Hill no longer being able to enforce enough offense. Hill is 41 and her close fights are turning into losses. Xiong is a slugger with limited wrestling, but Hill's offense is increasingly ineffectual.

Odds mentioned: Xiong -190, Hill +165
"I will take Xiong Jingnan as a gamble on Hill no longer being able to enforce enough offense."

Angela Hill

Angelo picks Angela Hill despite her age (40), believing she is more technical and durable than Fatima Kline. He criticizes Kline's takedown attempts and notes her wins are over fighters no longer in the UFC. He is hesitant and considers a plus 3.5 round bet but does not place a moneyline bet.

Angela Hill vs. Iasmin Lucindo
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Lucindo (-190); Hill (+150)

Round 1
While the previous match had an age difference of eight years, this strawweight pairing may make UFC history as Lucindo (17-6, 4-2 UFC) is just about 17 years younger than ultra-active veteran Hill (18-14, 13-14 UFC). Someone with a mind for stats and figures should look into that. Taking responsibility of the match will be referee Chris Tognoni, who witnesses the “featured fight of the night” combatants think about bumping fists but ultimately not doing it.
Lucindo gets right in Hill’s face with short check hooks. Hill does not like them and considers clinching up, only for the younger woman to turn it against her and get a body lock from behind. Lucindo leaps onto Hill’s back, dragging her down from behind. Hill works right back up, fighting the hands clasped around her waist to she can break out of the position. Lucindo leans heavily on the elder stateswoman, and Hill trips her down for a second. When Lucindo climbs back up, Hill knees her in the face. They proceed to bang it out for a short spell until Hill elbows her way out, and Hill rushes back in behind her elbow strike. Hill dives down after a single, and Lucindo stands her up and just misses on a counter elbow. Hill scores, and Lucindo counters with a big left hook that makes Hill step back.
The Brazilian connects with a body kick right before Hill’s overhand right response lands, and the latter follows her punch with a front kick to the stomach. Lucindo sits down on her big right hand, getting Hill’s attention, and she follows with two punches down the pipe when Hill offers back a low kick. Lucindo crowds Hill and clubs her with multiple hooks, laying into the veteran with a series of punches that spur Hill into a takedown shot. Lucindo bullies “Overkill” to the fence and breaks off with an elbow, and she sways to avoid two quick punches up top. Lucindo brushes the midsection with her foot when spinning with a back kick, and her subsequent back fist fails. The momentum of the Brazilian allows her to tackle Hill to the floor, and when the horn sounds, she helps Hill back to her feet.

Round 2
The ladies do not need more than a second or two to engage in the second round, with Lucindo’s power the difference maker in their exchanges. Hill takes several punches and goes wild with a spinning wheel kick, turning to flow with a back fist then gripping hold of the younger woman’s neck to tighten up a guillotine choke while standing. Lucindo gets out of it, but not before taking an elbow on the dome. Lucindo does not back down, cracking Hill with clubbing hooks and forcing Hill to reel. Lucindo lands with two of three looping punches, and Hill sneaks in a right hand back. Lucindo pops Hill in the chops with her heavier left hand, and Hill has to clinch up to slow Lucindo down. Lucindo tries to muscle her way out, and only a Hill winging elbow allows Lucindo to get free.
The two women crash together throwing hands, and they bang heads together while doing so. This does not slow them, as Hill muscles Lucindo to the wall after landing strikes. Lucindo frees herself from the grip and leans into power punches. The Brazilian plants a spinning back kick from up close to the stomach, and she goes to the spin well with an elbow that Hill sees coming. Hill flicks out a few jabs, and she overswings and finds Lucindo ducking under to grab her from behind. Hill works her way to lean against the fencing, and Lucindo hangs on kneeing her until she kicks out Hill’s leg and wrenches her to the floor. Lucindo clings to her opponent’s back until the round wraps.

Round 3
The strawweights meet in the middle and throw hands, with Lucindo’s right driving Hill back out of the gate. Hill is quick to respond, but Lucindo’s fast-swinging hooks keep backing Hill off. Lucindo takes strikes on the chin and hurls back not only harder, but with more volume. Hill scoops up Lucindo’s legs suddenly to throw her to the floor, and Lucindo practically bounces off the mat to get to her feet. When Hill scores cleanly, Lucindo drills her square in the jaw and makes her take several steps back. Lucindo continues pressing forward, tackling the longtime vet to the floor and landing in side control. To remain in control, the Brazilian relocates into half guard. Hill sits up, and Lucindo elbows her in the back of the head. Hill keeps twisting in hopes of escaping,
Lucindo embraces the grind, wresting away any hopes of Hill staging a comeback. Hill tries to buck and kick off, and Lucindo puts her face on Hill’s face. Tognoni warns Lucindo for grinding her chin into Hill’s eye, which at one point in the sport’s history was legal as evidenced by Hall of Famer Mark Kerr’s past victory over Dan Bobish. Lucindo does not engage with much additional offense other than sporadic ground-and-pound to stave of Tognoni. He calls for them to do more, and Lucindo lashes out with elbows and punches as the match concludes.

Angela Hill

Connor picks Angela Hill, citing her improved fight management and veteran savvy. He notes that Lucindo is aimless and struggled when faced with a fighter she had to respect (Amanda Lemos). Connor believes Hill's pressure, volume, and clinch work will be enough to win a close decision, though he acknowledges Lucindo's speed and power could swing rounds.

Odds mentioned: Lucindo opened -200, currently -200; Hill opened +170, currently +170.

Angela Hill

The host notes Lucindo struggles when she can't get takedowns, and Hill has shown defensive improvements in grappling. He believes Hill can stop takedowns or get back to her feet quickly, then use her striking advantage to outweigh Lucindo's control and win on the scorecards by landing more damage.

"We've seen Lucindo struggle when she can't get takedowns or be the one on top. And we've seen enough defensive improvements from Hill in the grappling realm that I think she can either stop the takedowns, get back to her feet a lot quicker than a lot of people have been able to against Lucindo."

Zane Simon Expert Lean picked Aug 7, 2025 (2 days before fight)
Iasmin Lucindo

Zane leans toward Lucindo, arguing that Hill cannot put the fear in Lucindo that Lemos did, allowing Lucindo to be more proactive. He notes that Lucindo is faster and more dynamic than Hill's recent opponents, and that Hill's wins over similar fighters (Sosa, Pinheiro) were close. However, he admits it could easily be a split decision and that Hill's experience is a factor.

Odds mentioned: Lucindo opened -200, currently -200; Hill opened +170, currently +170.
"I just don't think that Angela Hill can put that fear in her. And so without that, I think she can be a lot more willing to just sit down and throw and do enough damage to scrape out a win."

Angela Hill vs. Ketlen Souza
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Hill (-112), Souza (-108)

Round 1
Continuing on the prelims is what is becoming a strawweight tale as old as time. The savvy veteran Hill (17-14, 12-14 UFC), who holds a litany of record at 115 pounds including the most victories and defeats, is forced to take on a less-experienced rival for a possible torch-passing moment. While this will be the 20th pro outing for Souza (15-4, 2-1 UFC), it may serve as her own toughest fight, even though the same cannot be said about her opponent. There is not a glove touch to get started, with the women so eager to get going they nearly step over referee Mark Smith’s call to action. Hill immediately gets behind her favored jab, and she pressures the Brazilian around while dodging a spin kick. Hill works the body from up close with knees, pressing Souza to the fencing and taking a few back. Hill’s are cleaner and heavier, and she decides to break out of the clinch and find another angle. A few jabs out the outside score for Hill, who eats a one-two that drives her back. Hill goes to the body with a slapping kick, and she clips Souza with a long right hook and a scooping left. Souza misses on the counter, and the two shoot in at the same time and bang their foreheads together. Souza sticks out a front kick and blocks ahead kick in response, and the two clash together once more. Hill rolls with a punch to come out with a right over the top, and she digs a left to the solar plexus as she ties her opponent up. Hill times knees to the belly, punching her way out of the clinch but standing in the pocket when Souza wants to throw down. Souza comes out swinging a bit too aggressively, and “Overkill” surprises her with a double that plants the Brazilian on the mat. Souza turns to her knees so she can stand up, and Hill batters her in the side with numerous knees as her corner is thrilled she is listening to their instructions. Hill sneaks as hook around to partially take the back, and she hangs on clubbing Souza from behind until she is swept and the horn sounds.

Round 2
The strawweights meet in the middle trading kicks to start the round, and Hill uses head movement and footwork to tag Souza and eat counters. Hill goes to the body and then tries to go up top, and leg kick chops at the knee. The ladies stun one another with straight punches, and the bridge of Hill’s nose is showing a little damage. Hill slips a punch to bang Souza on the side of the head, and she fakes a level change to come up with a left hook. Hill fakes a jumping switch kick and goes after a takedown, forcing Souza to respond to the attempt fully. Hill sets up a clinch to drive knees through the guard, and Souza shakes her off and blocks a head kick. Both women slip in short right hooks, and Souza follows one with a knee to the body. Souza uses a right hand to open up a head kick, and Hill blocks it just in the nick of time. Souza spins with a back kick that plants firmly on the vet’s ribs, and she keeps targeting the body with additional punches. Hill glides back and gets Souza’s attention with an overhand right, and a second makes the advancing Souza take a few back steps. Hill takes low kick so she can reply with a side kick, and Souza sees an opening and spins with a wheel kick. Hill lets it glance past her so she can spin with a kick to the side, and the two are having some fun in there. Souza leaps forward with a huge left hand, and Hill’s chin is made of sterner stuff because she does not only not budge, but she keeps coming forward and even rings Souza’s bell with a spinning elbow. Souza pushes out a front kick and takes a flush knee at the bell.

Round 3
Leg kicks from both ladies open up the final frame, and Souza spins with one failed kick to aim a wheel kick up top. Hill dodges it and shoots for a takedown, and Souza defends with a guillotine choke but hits her back and does not have the leverage for it. Hill stays tight on top of the Brazilian, preventing her from any sweep, scramble or get-up. Souza holds up a knee shield, so Hill is in an unusual partial half guard situation, and she pries Souza’s legs open to find a home for her striking. Souza kicks her off and bursts to her feet, and Hill defends with a choke that has nothing to it. Souza gets away and follows a few jabs with a right hand. Hill kicks low and evades a huge right hand, with Souza aiming big firepower around the midpoint of the last round. Souza pitches out a few calf kicks, and she freezes Hill with a right hand but gets caught with two coming back her direction. Souza keeps her distance with probing kicks, and she stays far enough away to not get hit with a jumping switch kick. Hill swarms her way forward, and both women land flush one another. Hill goes to the body and head, and she jumps in with a knee that bangs into the forehead. “Overkill” punches her way into a takedown effort, but Souza shuts it down and forces them back to kickboxing range. Hill rushes after her, hands flying, and Souza’s defensive efforts keep her largely safe. Hill wraps a left around the guard and digs a kick to the belly, and Souza bends over and throws Hill to the floor by her ankle. Hill climbs back up, pushes through a spin kick, drills Souza with a right hand while the Brazilian is attempting a jump knee, and the strawweight tilt comes to an end.

Angela Hill vs. Tabatha Ricci
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Ricci (-112), Hill (-108)

Round 1
While Magny-Morales was one “passing of the torch” match, this co-main event is set up to be one as well. At the tender age of 39, Hill (17-13, 12-13 UFC) has won four of five and is trying to make one final push to get into top contention at 115 pounds. Ricci (10-2, 5-2 UFC) saw her own momentum fall away after a close loss last year, but a razor-close victory in May got her back in the win column. While the two are on the outer edge of the top 10, it is a must-win encounter for either woman. Referee Keith Peterson serves as the official for the nonsense-free strawweight tilt, and the ladies have no interest in touching gloves. Ricci marches forward and gets caught with a right hand early, and she pushes in to tie Hill up against the fence. Hill uses her elbow to try to frame off, and Ricci gets her underhooks in pursuit of a body lock takedown. Hill uses knees to fight her way out, and she eats a right hand on the outside. Ricci blasts forward to attack, landing a few shots, and Hill lands one back before they clinch up again. Ricci tries for another takedown, but Hill stands her up as they trade knees. The two break, and Hill pushes off a front kick when she gets space. Ricci connects at the end of a right hand, and she lands a second and ducks under a Hill counter to change levels. Hill defends it and breaks free, but not before absorbing a flush knee to the breadbasket. Both ladies land one big right hand, and Ricci resets and races at her, attacking with a tornado of offense. Hill responds and pushes her away, and she ducks down to smack “Baby Shark” with an overhand right. Ricci blitzes once more, and Hill is out of harm’s way in time. Ricci lands a low kick and punches her way in, although Hill strafes to the side to disrupt the forward momentum. Ricci nonetheless runs straight at her to the her up, ignoring a knee up the middle to try for something. Hill stops a takedown before it materializes and separates. Hill sneaks a right hand around a jab, and she spins with an elbow but Ricci is out of range. Hill targets the body with three punches, and Ricci walks her down and tries to slug it out. Hill hits her back and decides to initiate the clinch, and they jockey for position while Hill tries for her own trip takedown. Ricci stifles it and gets kneed in the belly, and Hill targets the same spot with another as they split apart. They let frantic hands fly right to the bell.

Round 2
Ricci pushes the pace right out of her corner, not slowing down even when Hill punches her in the face. Ricci uses her momentum to sling Hill to the mat, and she drops down fierce hammerfists and is drilled with an upkick. Ricci lowers herself down, and Hill sets up a triangle choke to keep her honest. When Ricci backs off, Hill powers her way back to her feet, and Ricci is quick to jam her up against the fencing. Hill turns her about and breaks free, tossing out a head kick that is nowhere near the target. Ricci gathers a head of steam and rushes forward, and Hill backs her off with a short combination ending with a body kick. Ricci lands two punches, Hill scores back, and Ricci is right there to keep the pressure on. Ricci looks for an up-elbow as she throws everything at her opponent, and Hill catches her with a right hand and ducks down to grab hold of her lead leg to take her off-balance. Hill catches a kick to drag Ricci to the wall, but she cannot hold it. Hill targets the body with a knee, and when Ricci backs off, Hill kicks her in the ribs. Ricci sprints into clinch range, and Hill lines up a Thai clinch to knee her in the midsection. Hill breaks off with a body kick, and she jabs and leans to avoid a knee flying at her melon. Ricci scores a one-two, and Hill responds with a push kick. A leaping elbow strike from Ricci brushes off the guard, and the two are mixing it up and not letting either get an upper hand. Hill drops down and comes up with a right hand, and Ricci stands right in front of her and bops her with an uppercut. Hill sits down on a hard right hand, and Ricci answers her back immediately. Hill connects with another clean right, and Ricci wants to slug it out until she shoots in for a single and hits it. Hill ties her up with a one-armed guillotine until Ricci is able to wrench her neck out. Ricci sits up, and Hill hacks with elbows. Ricci gets pushed off with upkicks, and the two meet in the clinch and start blasting one another like Frye vs. Takayama until the horn sounds.

Round 3
The two women come out firing immediately, with Ricci running into the melee. Hill drills her with a spinning elbow, forcing Ricci to take a back step. Ricci takes a quick count of her teeth and throws back, with Hill answering and reddening her nose up with more powerful strikes. Ricci targets the body with a kick, and Hill comes over the top with a right hand and tries for an up-elbow. Hill shoots for a takedown, and Ricci turns her around and puts Hill on her seat. Hill kicks off Ricci’s chest to send Ricci flying, and they both get back up. Ricci plods forward, and Hill stands right in the pocket and trades until Ricci’s forward movement results in a clinch. Ricci slows things down as she stomps Hill’s toes and offers the occasional knee, and Hill knees her back until they split up. Ricci beats Hill to the punch in an exchange, and Hill appears to be slowing while Ricci is just as amped up as ever. Hill buzzes the hair with a spinning elbow, and she drives a right hand on the chin and a front kick. Ricci crashes forward to strike, and Hill intercepts her with an uppercut and backs off to take a breath. Hill eats a left hand and counters, and she kicks Ricci in the ribs. Ricci lands a head shot and then one to the body, and Hill kicks her in the guts. Ricci shoots for a low double, and Hill defends and latches onto Ricci’s neck. Ricci pulls her head out of danger, and Hill kicks her in the ribs. Even with Hill appearing winded, she still outlands Ricci and draws some blood with her fists. Hill kicks the body and then spins with an elbow that grazes the cheek. Ricci scores a single leg kick, and she follows it with a one-two. Hill throws back, knocking Ricci back with a hard right hand and uppercuts Ricci in the chin for good measure. Hill jumps forward with a knee, and as Ricci rushes at her, Hill knees her twice more. Ricci backs off, and Hill kicks her a few more times until this wild and crazy strawweight scrap comes to a close. It’s anyone’s guess who will get their hand raised after that frenetic 15-minute fracas.

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Aug 20, 2024 (4 days before fight)
Tabatha Ricci

Cody picks Ricci because of her youth, athleticism, and superior grappling. He believes she can take Hill down and control the fight, as Hill is not as elusive as other grapplers Ricci has faced. He notes Ricci's path to victory is clear: mix in takedowns and control time. He also mentions that Hill is 39 and may not have the same durability.

Angela Hill

Brevin picks Angela Hill, noting she has entered her prime at 39 with sharp striking and improved grappling. He thinks her length and volume will be key. He acknowledges Ricci's grappling advantage but believes Hill can defend takedowns and win on the feet. JP disagrees, picking Ricci by decision, citing Hill's 12-13 UFC record and age. He thinks Ricci's grappling, though not submission-heavy, will be enough, and notes Hill goes to decision often but doesn't win dominantly.

Luana Pinheiro vs. Angela Hill
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Hill (-135), Pinheiro (+114)

Round 1
It’s on with the main card. Two strawweights on the outside of the top 15 looking in—the UFC does have one of them ranked—will come to blows in hopes of making that next big step towards contention. Pinheiro (11-2, 3-1 UFC) will be looking to get back into the green after her last outing saw her nine-fight win streak snapped violently. On the other side of the equation, divisional staple Hill (16-13, 11-13 UFC) has won three of our last four and is on a solid run despite turning 39 in January. Referee Herb Dean is ready for the long haul, and the women are too as they get right to it with no consideration of a glove touch. Hill feints her way forward, flicking out a front kick to test the waters and find her range. Pinheiro circles to both directions, and Hill cuts her off and pitches out a high kick that is several feet away from her intended target. Hill leaps forward with two right hands, both still too distant. Hill closes in, but the first actual strike landing is a calf kick from the Brazilian. Both women throw and land simultaneous right hands, and Pinheiro keeps her left hand ready to release. Hill puts the ball of her foot on Pinheiro’s torso, and she continues to walk Pinheiro down winging a right hand. The two women stick out jabs, and Pinheiro shoots for a takedown but cannot get anywhere. Hill backs away from a right hand, and she meanders forward and tosses out a head kick that is inaccurate. Pinheiro stick out a jab that marks up Hill’s nose, and they rush towards one another and start trading. Pinheiro looks to mix things up and throw Hill to the floor, but “Overkill” keeps her balance and pushes Pinheiro back to the fencing. Pinheiro jumps guard with a guillotine choke, and Hill threatens back with a Von Preux shoulder choke all while looking to establish better top position. Pinheiro releases her choke so that she does not get countered, and Hill lands a solid right hand before getting pushed off by Pinheiro’s flailing legs. Pinheiro gets off an upkick or two, and Hill pounces and bops her in the noggin with a right hand. Hill gets backed off with upkicks, and she connects with two mean standing-to-ground punches. Pinheiro jumps back to her feet, and Hill hurls her back down and lands a few strikes before the bell sounds.

Round 2
Pinheiro races out of her corner to engage, only for Hill to jab her back. Pinheiro loads upon on a power right hand, and when that misses, she leans back as one from Hill buzzes past her as well. Pinheiro splits the guard with a front kick, and Hill flirts with a single-leg takedown and comes over the top with a right. Pinheiro pirouettes with a back fist, and Hill’s guard is high enough to protect her. Pinheiro uses her jab effectively to score, and she times a right hand over the top. When Hill crowds her, Pinheiro lands hard again and grins to celebrate her handiwork. Pinheiro spins with a back fist, and Hill sees it coming and ducks it so she can throw Pinheiro to the ground. Pinheiro grabs the fence a few times to stay afloat, and Dean warns her for the fouls. The two fight for position in the clinch when Hill’s takedown comes up short, and Hill stifles a trip that Pinheiro offers back. Pinheiro escapes the clinch, and Hill gives chase with a front kick and a stabbing jab that snaps the head back. They both go after high kicks, and Hill tries a jumping switch kick and a high kick that both miss the mark. Hill misses with a head kick, and she knocks Pinheiro off her feet with a lunging jab. Pinheiro hops back up, and Hill is on her with pressure and strikes. Pinheiro shoots for a takedown, and Hill stops it and clings to a guillotine choke that she uses to knee the Brazilian in the head. Pinheiro escapes, and Hill runs at her and kicks her in the face. Pinheiro swings back and lands a left hand that cuts Hill’s eye, and Pinheiro shoots for a takedown.
Hill snatches up the neck while stuffing the attempt, and she sits down with a guillotine choke. When they hit the ground, Hill sweeps to claim the mounted guillotine, and the choke is crushingly tight. Pinheiro, who holds most of her finishes by submission while never suffering a submission loss, taps out.
Hill punts an 11-fight consecutive streak of fights going the distance with her tapout victory, and she is so excited when Dean intervenes that she does not know what to do with her hands. Hill figures it out and offers to help the defeated Pinheiro back to her feet, and she jumps into the arms of her corner to celebrate her first-ever submission win.

Expert Picks (5)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked May 12, 2024 (6 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Angela Hill is a veteran with high fight IQ, good speed, volume, and versatility, though she lacks power. Luana Pinheiro is a powerful striker with solid takedowns and BJJ, but Hill's experience and game planning should prevail. Hill recently showed she can wrestle, and Angelo expects her to stick to a game plan and win a decision.

"Angela Hill is going to be the pick"
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked May 15, 2024 (3 days before fight)

Cody highlights Pinheiro's pattern of coming out fast and then gassing, as seen against Amanda Lemos and Randa Markos. He believes Hill's technical striking, footwork, and cardio will allow her to weather the early storm and take over in later rounds. Cody also notes Hill's improved wrestling, which she used to get five takedowns against Denise Gomes.

"I'll take her on one of those."

Angela Hill

The MMA Guru picks Angela Hill over Luana Pinheiro, calling Pinheiro 'quite [__]'. He argues that Hill has a misrepresented record with several robbery losses, and that she is difficult to finish. He believes Hill will outwork Pinheiro over three rounds and win a decision, as Pinheiro barely scraped by against Michelle Waterson.

Denise Gomes vs. Angela Hill
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Gomes (-125), Hill (+105)

Round 1
The final women’s bout, booked at strawweight like Moura-Ruiz, features two women who comfortably made weight. Storied veteran Hill (15-13, 10-13 UFC), who looks for UFC win no. 11, faces off against a woman in Gomes (8-2, 2-1 UFC) who is almost 15 years Hill’s junior. Youth versus experience will be on full display for the next 15 minutes or less, and referee Fernando Portella will be the arbiter of this encounter. There is no plan for a glove touch, and instead Gomes would rather throw hands and feet right out of the gate. Hill checks a calf kick and her forward momentum bowls the Brazilian over. Hill lands on top, but only for a few seconds until the Parana Vale Tudo fighter powers her way back to her feet. The two clinch up, and they pepper one another in the body with knees. Hill loads up on her knees to the breadbasket, and Gomes considers hitting a trip but ends up falling to her back. Hill muscles her down to her knees when Gomes looks for a way up, and Hill works to take the back and hangs on the younger woman. Gomes grabs the glove a few times to get out of the bad position, and Hill breaks away and tags her once on the way out. The two trade hands, and Gomes succeeds in tripping Hill and dumping her on her face. They both get back up, and Hill counters her with a throw of her own. They explode upright again, and Gomes loads up on power punches that ring Hill’s bell repeatedly. Hill leans on heavily to clinch and hold onto Gomes, thereby shutting down the swinging fists that smack her in the face. Hill drives her knees in the solar plexus again and again, until Gomes has had enough of this and pushes her off. Hill resets and pushes out a front kick, and Gomes swings at air when this meets her. Gomes scores a big right hand, and Hill backs off but is snagged and throws to the mat. Gomes latches onto Hill’s left arm for an armlock of some kind, and she considers a kimura or an armbar, as she sits on top in an awkward position. Gomes drives down several hammerfists, and before she can get the armbar, Hill slides out the side. Hill, now in the driver’s seat, gets blasted with a right hand from Gomes on her back. Hill toughs it out and elbows Gomes in the face, and Gomes forces her way back up at the bell to end the close, exciting round.

Round 2
Hill keeps her guard up high when she comes out of her corner, as Gomes whips a head kick at her to lead off the round. Gomes is intercepted when looking for a big overhand right, and Hill ties her up for a second before pushing off. Hill snipes Gomes with a solid right hand, and Gomes grins at her. Hill works her with a second overhand right, and a third before Gomes lobs another kick at her. Hill takes the strikes of the Brazilian and fires back, and she leans away from a spinning kick from Gomes. The two trade hands, and then land low kicks at the same time. Hill ducks a strike and comes over the top with a left, and she connects with two punches to follow. Gomes loads up again with power, and it hits air as Hill is too quick to eat it flush. Gomes absorbs a right hand on the chin and tags Hill with an uppercut, leading Hill to tie her up in the clinch and shove her to the wall. Hill gets off an elbow, and Gomes lowers her hands and looks for hefty counters. Hill spins with an elbow that bangs into Gomes’ chin, and Gomes goes not bat an eye and continues advancing. Hill shoots for a takedown, and Gomes defends with a standing guillotine that makes Hill think twice about the attempt. Hill sneaks in a few clinch strikes before backing off, and she watches Gomes’ winging strikes blaze past her. Hill catches a kick and deposits Gomes to the floor, but Gomes get right back up and takes a deep breath. Hill scores a few punches, and Gomes crowds her and blasts her in the face with a fierce right hand. When Hill grabs hold of her, Gomes answers with a number of vertical, hacking elbows. Gomes overswings, and Hill snags her and looks to drag her down. When Gomes keeps her balance, Hill smacks her in the face with a knee. Hill turns the corner, and Gomes succeeds in fighting off the takedown but gets kneed in the dome twice more. The round ends as the two are stuck together.

Round 3
As if she thought she was down on the scorecards, Gomes charges out of her corner and busts the veteran in the chops with a number of wide punches. Hill fires back, and she blunts the momentum by clinching up the younger woman and tripping her with a body lock. Gomes drops to her knees, defending the strikes from the side, and Hill hangs on from behind. Before long, Gomes works her way back to her feet with the fence at her back, and Hill drags her down again. Hill stays on the Brazilian like a bad penny, never giving Gomes a moment to breathe and not allowing her to get anything off. Hill peppers Gomes with knees to the head, side and thigh, attacking any target she can find while Gomes is stuck without answers. This grinding approach is slowing Gomes down, and a knee to the belly takes a bit more of the wind out of her sails. Gomes manages to push off and keeps throwing hands, but one left hand allows Hill to duck it and secure a single-leg takedown. When Gomes attempts to scramble, Hill is one step ahead, whether trying to take the back or working Gomes with strikes to the side of the melon. Gomes defends but is totally out of her game, and a short elbow from “Overkill” opens a cut on the side of Gomes’ eye. Hill flattens Gomes out, but Gomes explodes with 15 seconds to go and gets back up through sheer aggression. Hill tags her with a jump knee, and the close contest concludes.

Denise Gomes

Angelo picks Denise Gomes, citing the 15-year age gap and Hill's age. He notes Hill is durable and experienced, but Gomes is tough, comes forward, and has power. He placed a small half-unit bet on Gomes at -141. He cautions that if Gomes fights recklessly and gasses, Hill could win as an underdog.

Angela Hill

Big Brady picks Angela Hill to win by decision but is hesitant. He notes Hill's experience and better competition, but worries about her age (38) and Gomes' power. He says Gomes is hittable but has real power for the division. He mentions that Hill just fought a five-round fight with Mackenzie Dern, so this is a step down in competition. He says he won't bet this fight.

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Nov 1, 2023 (3 days before fight)
Denise Gomes

Daniel Levi picks Denise Gomes, citing her rare one-punch knockout power in women's MMA and her aggressive style. He notes that Angela Hill, at 38, has slowed down and taken significant damage in recent fights, including a beating from Mackenzie Dern. Levi believes Gomes can hurt Hill on the feet and may even knock her out for the first time. He acknowledges Hill's experience and toughness, but sees Gomes' physicality and power as decisive factors. He is waiting for plus money on Gomes but leans toward her.

Gomes wins by KO/TKO
"I rarely ever pick Angela Hill... I'm not gonna bet on this fight unless I get plus money on Denise."

Lucrative James Expert picked Nov 4, 2023 (fight day)
No clear pick

James sees this as a very close fight and is passing on betting. He believes Angela Hill is on a downward trajectory at 39 years old, gets hit often, and has been dropped in recent fights. He thinks Denise Gomes has power and could hurt Hill, but he is not sold on Gomes' overall game, describing her as uneducated on the feet. He notes that Hill has never been knocked out and could make it look easy if she can take Gomes' power, but he is not confident she can avoid getting clipped. He concludes it is a massive stay away.

"I think Angela Hill is clearly on a downward trajectory... but I can't do it man honestly I don't agree with it."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 31, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Hill's volume striking style, speed, and footwork will allow her to stay out of danger and pick apart Gomes from distance. Gomes' wrestling is not good enough to hold Hill down for extended periods. Hill should be able to operate at distance and win a decision, making her a good underdog spot.

Angela Hill

He references Hill's win over Loma Lookboonmee on short notice in Australia as evidence of her toughness. The Guru believes if Gomes doesn't get an early finish, Hill will pull ahead in later rounds, predicting a close 29-28 decision. He also mentions he likes the underdog odds.

A place among the top 10 looms for the victor of this headlining strawweight tilt, in a cliched but accurate grappler vs. striker affair. With the majority of her wins coming by submission, Dern (12-3, 7-3 UFC) wants to get her hand raised at all costs to keep any championship hopes alive for the foreseeable future. On the other side of the equation, fan-favorite “Overkill” Hill (15-12, 10-12 UFC) is one significant strike away from passing Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the most landed of any female fighter to enter the Octagon. Something’s gotta give in this final fight of the card, and it will play out after the final instructions are given by referee Jason Herzog. There is intensity but plenty of respect, as the women bump their fists together before preparing to engage. Dern loads up immediately with fierce fists, and Hill is surprised by the sudden power coming her direction. Dern punches her way into a clinch, and Hill pushes her back to the wall but does not want to be locked up here. Dern grinds her elbow on her foe’s face, and they jockey for position in the clinch. Hill drives a knee to the body, and Dern responds with one to break free. Dern swings with all her might and hurts Hill with wild hooks, and she looks to throw Hill to the ground when they get close. Dern lands on her back in the process, and she activates her offensive guard and looks for a submission. Hill escapes smoothly, but Dern follows her and busts her in the chops with a left hand. A shocked hill hits her seat, and Dern instantly gloms onto her and looks to take her back while Hill is still clearing the cobwebs. Hill turns to her back, and leans up against the fence to keep leverage and protect herself from further harm. Dern steps through to half guard, and she looks to pass to the side or mount. Hill kicks her off and uses upkicks to keep her honest, and she hooks her toes in the fence. Dern drops down for a kneebar or a toe hold. Hill fights it off, but Dern secure full mount with seconds to spare, Dern batters Hill with elbows and punches, and she sets up an armbar with 20 seconds on the clock. Hill defends with every bit of energy, and she grits it out wildly before the horn saves “Overkill.”

Round 2
Dern begins the second round confidently, and her big right hand immediately clips Hill. Hill welcomes the brawl, and Dern kicks her in the midsection and charges at her with flailing fists. Hill escapes one clinch, and Dern is following her relentlessly with heavy swings. Hill lets her overswing to take Dern’s back, and this slows Dern down and stops her from hitting her in the face repeatedly. Hill grinds from the side and back, getting in an occasional right hand and knee while forcing Dern to carry her weight. Hill grips her arm around Dern’s jaw and releases it at the right moment to knee her in the face, and Dern gets her back to the wall and knees in response. The two trade knees, and Herzog asks them to keep working. Hill lands knees to the body and an elbow on the break, and she backs off. Dern throws with bad intentions, and Hill’s head movement keeps her face from a long exchange. Dern sits down on a leg kick, and the two clinch up again. Hill grinds her opponent up against the cage, with knees to the midsection and short left hands getting in. Dern looks for a throw but is shut down, and they knee one another in the chest. Hill stays more active with knees, and she dings Dern with a right hand before they split up. Dern punches her way forward, and gets popped with an overhand right. Hill shucks off a takedown attempt, and she pushes Dern to the wall as the round ends.

Round 3
The strawweight contenders meet in the middle of the age, and Dern leads off with a right hand and a high kick. When Dern attempts another kick, Hill knocks her off her feet, and “Overkill” willingly climbs into the guard. Dern throws her legs up high to set up a triangle choke, and Hill smartly stacks Dern up and shuts it down. Dern transitions to an armbar, and Hill backs off and stands up. Dern follows her, and she drives a knee on the chin that hurts Hill and puts her on baby deer legs. Dern attempts to throw a wobbled Hill down to the ground, and Hill winds up on top and fights her way up to her feet, possibly on autopilot after the hammering blow. Dern looks for another throw, and this time, she drags Hill to the floor and climbs into mount with three minutes to go. Hill turns to her stomach, and Dern allows her to do this so she can elbow and punch Hill in the side of the head. Hill looks to push her feet off the fence to protect herself, and she kicks off at the right time to roll to her knees. Dern muscles her back down again, and she unleashes fierce ground-and-pound as she traps Hill on her side. Hill shells up and posts off the wall, and Dern follows her and continues pummeling her with elbows and punches. Dern kiais every time she lands a strike, and these blows are not light and Hill is eating them or blocking them to little effect. Dern rides and batters Hill with left hands, screaming with every blow, and Hill scrambles but winds up in the armbar. With 30 seconds left, Dern softens Hill up with a few hammerfists and leans to her back to extend the arm. Dern cannot break the grip before time expires, and Hill has once more been saved by the bell.

Round 4
Between rounds, Hill’s left eye swells up significantly, and it is closing fast. Despite this, she is good to go in the championship rounds. Dern slams her fists into Hill’s face to start off again, and she stings Hill and forces a tie-up. Hill presses her tightly to the fence, slowing the offense for a time. Dern uses a few elbows to get some space and considers a head lock throw, but Hill breaks away courtesy of a few punches. Dern trades hands with her foe, and Hill is not taking the punches well. “Overkill” clinches her up to not getting tagged, and Dern breaks with a fierce elbow. Dern hammers the lead leg with a few kicks, and she initiates a clinch to take the fight down. Hill turns her around before this materializes, and another stalemate ensues with knees to the body coming from both women. Dern looks to hook the leg or drag her down, and she forces Hill to carry her body weight. Hill spins her around with a frenzied effort, and Dern backs her off with a stern elbow. Hill the strikes on the chin, and Hill looks for a takedown and gets thrown awkwardly to her back, while hanging onto Dern from behind. Dern turns her around, and Hill hangs on with an arm-triangle choke from her back. The horn sounds with Dern in no danger from the submission setup.

Round 5
The fighters have reached the final frame, and Hill’s eye is greatly swollen but not in danger of stopping the fight. She engages in a brief slugfest to start things off, and Dern catches her with a few punches and throws Hill to her back. Hill closes her guard, and Dern stacks her up and grinds an elbow on the chin to open it up. Hill reaches her legs up high and hopes to wrap them over a shoulder, and she gets her toes in the fence and even considers an armbar. Dern is wise to it and powers through it, and she moves to side control at the three-minute mark. Dern steps over to grab hold of Hill’s left arm, and she lets it go to hurt Hill with elbows. Hill turns to her side, smothered by the active Dern, and Dern traps her and elbows her repeatedly. Dern takes the back and looks for an armbar, but she flattens Hill out and punches her on both sides of the head. Dern gets both hooks in from behind, and she steps over to full mount and hammerfists Hill with no way out. Try as she might, Hill cannot get out, and Dern clobbers her with a long series of elbows. Hill holds on and moves enough to stave off referee intervention, and Dern beats on her right until the bitter end. Hill has reached the final horn, in what may be a moral victory after a fairly brutal drubbing. The victorious Dern earns her third stripe on her black belt from father, “Megaton” Dias. With her striking improving dramatically, Dern is an immediate top contender in the strawweight division. While the top echelon of the division is so jam-packed, Dern asks for a matchup against former champion Rose Namajunas. If that happens, we will be here for it. We hope you are too.

Expert Picks (10)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked May 14, 2023 (6 days before fight)
Mackenzie Dern

Angelo picks Mackenzie Dern because the fight is now five rounds, which benefits Dern's dangerous grappling and cardio. He notes that Dern never quits and the extra time gives her more chances to catch Angela Hill. He expects a close fight but believes Dern's finishing ability is the difference. He plans to bet on Dern by inside the distance (decision no action) if the odds are better than -350.

BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked May 12, 2023 (8 days before fight)
Mackenzie Dern

Big Brady picks Mackenzie Dern to submit Angela Hill, possibly in any round. He notes Dern is younger, improving her striking and wrestling, and has a huge advantage on the ground. He believes Dern will eventually get a takedown and submit Hill, similar to how Randa Markos submitted Hill. He acknowledges Hill's takedown defense is good but thinks Dern's pressure and power will wear her down over five rounds.

CO
Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked May 18, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Cody argues that Mackenzie Dern's takedown success is inconsistent, especially in five-round fights, and she lacks striking volume. He notes Dern's poor striking defense and low output, while Angela Hill has excellent volume, cardio, and submission defense. He sees Hill winning by outworking Dern on the feet over five rounds.

"I'm gonna pick Angela Hill and fit it in on the parlay at some point."
CO
Connor Ruebusch Expert Hesitant picked May 18, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Mackenzie Dern

Connor picks Dern despite acknowledging Hill's advantages over five rounds. He argues that Dern's hyper-aggressive grappling and ability to create instant submission threats from awkward positions will give her chances early, and that Hill hasn't faced a grappler with that kind of venom. He admits that if Dern doesn't finish in the first round and a half, Hill likely wins, but he can't shake the image of Dern wrapping up a leg for a quick submission.

Dern opened at -170, currently -166; Hill opened at +150, currently +160. Connor notes the odds are essentially even.
"I'm gonna take Dern. But you have laid out a great argument for Hill in the five rounds and give me huge pause because yeah if it doesn't happen for Dern in the first round and a half, Hill wins."
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked May 18, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Mackenzie Dern

Daniel Levi leans toward Mackenzie Dern but is not confident. He acknowledges Dern's elite BJJ and submission threat, but questions her takedown offense (11% accuracy, less than 1 takedown per 15 minutes) and striking defense. He notes Angela Hill has 77% takedown defense and hasn't been submitted since 2019, and that strikers like Yan Xiaonan and Marina Rodriguez survived Dern's ground game. He sees Hill as superior on the feet and thinks the blueprint to beat Dern exists. Ultimately, he picks Dern via submission but says it's a 'dog or pass' situation and there's no value at -175.

Dern via submission; no bet due to lack of value at -175
"I guess it's a dog or pass situation... I'll go with Dern to find something along the way or possibly Bank three of these rounds"
LU
Lucrative James Expert Hesitant picked May 16, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Angela Hill

James sees this as a 50-50 fight but favors Angela Hill due to the plus-160 line, which he believes offers value. He notes that Hill has above-average takedown defense and will likely keep the fight standing, where she can outpoint Dern. However, he acknowledges Dern's submission threat and the possibility of Dern winning via decision if she gets takedowns in three rounds. He is hesitant and not fully committed to betting Hill yet, considering hedging with Dern submission.

Angela Hill via decision considered as a potential play; may hedge with Dern submission; plus-160 line mentioned
"I'm actually gonna side with Angela Hill I'm gonna say Andrew Hill gets it on Via decision but like I said it's about 50 50 fight so it's very hard for me to give an outright prediction"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked May 15, 2023 (5 days before fight)
Angela Hill

The host leans toward Angela Hill but is the least confident on this fight. He thinks Hill's footwork, output, and takedown defense could allow her to batter Dern on the feet and win by decision. He notes Dern could also win quickly by submission if she gets takedowns. He suggests a round 4 or 5 decision prop but says he won't put money on either side.

"I'm gonna lean with the striker here though I'm gonna go with the footwork the output and hopefully decent enough takedown defense here from Angela Hill"

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked May 18, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Paul agrees with Cody, noting that the betting lines suggest a striking affair. He points out that Dern's takedown line is low (1 takedown) and that Hill's takedown defense has been adequate against good grapplers. He sees value in Hill at +150 and expects her to win a striking decision.

"plus 150 here Angela Hill seems like a very very reasonable dog shot."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked May 16, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Mackenzie Dern

The MMA Guru picks Mackenzie Dern, believing her grappling will be the difference in a five-round fight. He notes Dern is younger (30 vs 38) and still improving, while Angela Hill rarely finishes. He expects the fight to hit the ground at some point, citing Michelle Waterson's success in taking Hill down. He predicts Dern will win by submission in round three, as her BJJ is a major threat.

ZA
Zane Simon Expert Confident picked May 18, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Zane picks Angela Hill because he believes Dern's only path to victory is early submission, and over five rounds Hill's superior striking and improved defensive grappling will allow her to survive early scares and take over. He notes that Hill has refined her striking to be more efficient and can maintain a winning pace, while Dern's chances drop off precipitously as the fight goes on. He also points out that Hill's clinch work could punish Dern for trying to tie up.

Dern opened at -170, currently -166; Hill opened at +150, currently +160. Zane notes the odds are essentially even and expects them to get tighter.
"I'm gonna pick Angela Hill. I think she could get herself into trouble with her clinching... but she's gonna eat a ton of jab, she's gonna get picked apart."

Emily Ducote vs. Angela Hill
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Ducote (-120), Hill (+100)

Round 1
In what has become a theme of sorts, a well-experienced competitor will once again take on someone far younger, far less-traveled, or both. This comes in the form of Hill (14-12, 9-12 UFC), who has faced a who’s who in the division, against Ducote (12-6, 1-0 UFC), who has found new life at 115 pounds. The strawweights meet in the middle without touching gloves while referee Andrew Glenn sits back, and Hill initiates the offense with several jabs that all miss the mark. Ducote reaches her with a single jab, and she scores a right hand over the top when Hill tries to score on her. Hill switches stances as the woo birds cry out in the cage when the strawweights are inactive. Ducote stays composed and lines up a few punches down the middle, intercepting Hill coming towards her. Hill whips a high kick up that glances off the shoulder guard, and she sneaks a right hand around the guard. Hill kicks low, and Ducote punches high. Hill manages to split the guard with a jab, and Ducote pays her back with a clean right hand. Ducote aims another right hand down the pipe, and Hill keeps busy with punches and low kicks. Hill marks up her foe’s nose with jabs, and she crowds “Gordinha” and tags her with a few short punches. Hill swings a right to the body, and a left to the head, and only the former lands. Hill connects with a solid combination to knock Ducote back, and her punches are finding their home while Ducote is struggling to reach the target. “Overkill” crowds her foe with a few sharp blows, and Ducote reels and backs off. The mixing of offense high and low keeps Ducote guessing and looking for options, and Ducote largely answers with single strikes. Hill darts forward with a jab, and a head kick that follows slaps into the guard. A quick superwoman punch from Hill gets through, and she gets off a jab and several chasing punches until the bell rings, and blood trickles down the mouth of Ducote.

Round 2
The ladies engage to start off the second round, and Ducote trades punches instead of allowing Hill to tag her. Hill catches her with a left hand, but not before Ducote gets off a clean body shot. Hill steps forward, clinches up, knees the body, and splits before her foe can response. Hill walks through a right hand and scores few, and she goes low with a pair of calf kicks. Ducote sits down on three punches that whiz past the face of “Overkill,” who darts in and out to land flush. A left hand from Hill pounds into the cheek, and she ducks down for one to the body while Ducote thinks it is coming up high and keeps her guard up there. Hill kicks the body, punches the head, rips the body and kicks low in rapid succession. When they tie up again, Hill lays into her with several knees and an elbow, and Ducote can do little in response but push off. Hill jumps forward with a head kick, and Ducote gets her guard up in time but cannot block the subsequent punches aimed at her chin. Ducote connects with one right hand, and Hill pushes through it to get off four in response. This same situation happens again, so Hill answers with a standing tomahawk elbow. Ducote shoots for a takedown, and Hill stops this in her tracks and knees Ducote in the breadbasket several times before the separation. The two score left hooks at the same time, and they both exchange high kicks. Hill splits the guard with a one-two, and Ducote gets her respect for a moment with a right hand. As Ducote ties her up again, Hill replies with multiple knees up the middle. Hill strings together punches to the head and body, and Hill leaps forward to knee three times and slash an elbow up high. Hill slips a punch to land one, and she kicks the body twice before the horn.

Round 3
When they meet in the middle to open up the last round, Hill strikes first with kicks to all targets, calf, body and head. Ducote swipes back at her with a few punches, but Hill does not bat an eye and continues to come forward. Ducote breaks off from a quick clinch after taking a couple knees, and she swings wildly with a left hand. Hill strides forward with a left and a right, and Ducote stands firm and throws back at her. The ladies trade punches, and Hill leads the dance at practically every occasion both with aggression and sheer volume. Ducote aims strikes to the body in hopes of slowing down “Overkill,” and when she does, Hill pelts her with a pair of overhand rights. Hill fakes a level change and goes up high with a kick, and Ducote can barely block it in time. Hill is feeling herself as she presses the pace without worry of what comes back at her, and she works her way into a clinch to score knees and elbows. While Ducote replies with a few of her own, Hill doubles or triples up on her with these exchanges. Ducote sits down on a slapping calf kick, and she just misses with a haymaker of a right hand. Hill walks her down and grabs a Thai clinch, and she lays into Ducote with vicious knees that draw cheers when each one lands as if the crowd was watching a muay thai fight. Ducote tries to give her a few back, but Hill cannot be slowed and is not remotely fading. Hill jumps with a flying knee before grabbing another Thai clinch, and she again slams her knees into the body. Hill continues to beat Ducote around the Octagon like she caught her breaking into her apartment, and Ducote escapes on the outside while occasionally throwing back but is woefully outmatched. In the final seconds, Ducote decides to grab hold of Hill’s left leg to pursue a single, but there is nothing to it as the fight ends. This was one-way traffic for “Overkill,” who blunts the momentum of the formerly surging Ducote in a pillar-to-post performance.

Angela Hill vs. Virna Jandiroba
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Jandiroba (-165), Hill (+145)

Round 1
For the victor, a spot will remain in the top 15 of the tumultuous strawweight division, while the defeated may tumble out of the rankings – and the company itself – altogether. Even though Jandiroba (17-3, 3-3 UFC) and Hill (13-11, 8-11 UFC) swam in the same circles of
Invicta Fighting Championships
’ and the UFC’s 115-pound category, their paths never crossed until tonight. These two ex-Invicta champs will receive oversight from referee Mark Smith, and do not touch ‘em up before proceeding to try and bludgeon, strangle or otherwise inflict great bodily harm on the other. Hill takes the center of the cage with one hand lower, perhaps anticipating a takedown while not remotely concerned with the Brazilian’s striking. If history is any indication, this might be a solid strategy. The stance allows Hill to stave off a takedown setup, and when she is paying attention to this, Jandiroba has two punches land across the bow. Jandiroba absorbs a right hand back, and as soon as Hill commits to punches, “Carcara” bullies her way into a takedown attempt. Jandiroba pushes Hill back across the cage to the fence, and Hill stuffs her and pushes Jandiroba over. This is not to her best interest, as Jandiroba falls to her seat and hunts for a leglock of some sort. Going for a kneebar, an ankle lock or anything she can snatch up, Hill is quickly in danger, with Hill’s left leg extended outward as Jandiroba is hanging on to it. Hill grimaces in pain as she hangs on to Jandiroba’s wrists, and Hill sits up to attempt to punch her way out of the sub and successfully does so. Jandiroba considers another submission setup, but she cannot keep Hill grounded. They stay tied up in the clinch when standing up again, and they both try to whip the other around for a takedown. Hill starts letting loose with knees to the body as Jandiroba is happy to remain tied up, and Hill looks to break off but Jandiroba is not letting go. Hill finally explodes her way out, and Jandiroba throws out a few hands while Hill is hesitant to engage. Hill swats away offense before ducking down and goes for a double, and she hits it only to get reversed as soon as they hit the mat. Jandiroba ends the round on top in an odd position.

Round 2
Hill strikes first to begin the second round, and Jandiroba is more active and meets her in the middle with several more strikes in volume. They trade punches until Jandiroba closes in for a clinch, and after landing one knee up the middle, she abandons it and lets Hill swing back hitting air. Jandiroba goes over the top with a surprisingly effective right hand, and Hill blitzes into a tie-up so that she can hammer the midsection with a veritable bouquet of knees. Jandiroba scores a single elbow on the break, but Hill is energized, stringing three punches together as she gives chase. Hill presses forward to clinch, and they jockey for position and meet with knees on the sternum. Jandiroba breaks, and she looks for a one-two while Hill counters with a clean right hand. In the open cage, Jandiroba dives down for a takedown and practically tackles Hill over to plop her on the ground. Hill defends with a single butterfly hook as Jandiroba is on top heavily in half guard, and she cinches her own lets around Hill’s to shut down any possible escapes from “Overkill.” Jandiroba steps over to a dominant position, but instead of taking it, she snags hold of Hill’s left arm in search of an armbar or a kimura lock. Jandiroba turns it to an armbar as she falls to her back to lock it up, and Hill steps over and stacks Jandiroba up to keep the arm safe from harm. Jandiroba keeps that submission tied up as Hill’s knee crushes on Jandiroba’s jaw, and this posture of Hill along with her rocking back and forth allows Hill to make it to the third round.

Round 3
Hill is aggressive to start the third round, and she throws hands fast and lets them go to nail Jandiroba upside the head. Jandiroba is stunned momentarily, and Hill rolls through to rip an uppercut. The punches get Jandiroba’s attention, forcing the Brazilian to shoot for a double that presses Hill to the wall. Hill keeps herself upright thanks to the fence behind her, but Jandiroba turns the corner and yanks her down to the canvas. “Overkill” instantly attacks with elbows off her back while Jandiroba is slithering her way through gain better top position, and she lines up north-south before taking Hill’s back as Hill looks to stand. Jandiroba holds on to a leg tightly to wrench Hill right back down to the ground almost as soon as Hill stands, and “Carcara” gladly lowers herself into Hill’s guard as Hill closes it around her. Time is ticking away from Hill’s chances at pulling off a comeback, and Jandiroba is comfortable wearing on Hill and working the body with short, stay-busy punches. Hill hangs on with a lock around Jandiroba’s shoulder, possibly for a straight armlock off her back, and Jandiroba wriggles her arm out and continues her smothering top control. With Jandiroba clinging to half guard, Hill explodes in an effort to get up. This does not work to her benefit, as Jandiroba follows her all the way through to take Hill’s back. With 10 seconds to spare, Hill turns Jandiroba around and gets on top, and Jandiroba throws her legs up high to prevent any offense from “Overkill” in the remainder of the match. The fight ends in this stalemate position, and as the horn sounds, Jandiroba hoots and shouts in celebration after a likely victory.

Cody Saftic Expert Hesitant picked May 11, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Cody picks Hill as a dog, noting her fights are always close and competitive. He thinks Jandiroba's cardio is suspect and she may not be able to maintain takedown pressure for three rounds. He believes Hill can out-volume her on the feet and make it a close decision, though he's not highly confident.

PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Hesitant picked May 11, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Paul also leans toward Hill, calling it a dogger pass. He notes Hill's volume striking and that Jandiroba struggles to get takedowns against good grapplers. He thinks if Hill can keep it standing, she wins the volume game. However, he acknowledges Jandiroba's BJJ from top is nasty and she could bank the first two rounds.

"i think it's dogger pass though it's like you have to be really confident that vern is going to be able to get to this to the mat otherwise i think angel angela hill just out volume sir"

Angela Hill vs. Amanda Lemos

Round 1
Moving right along, strawweights look to handle their business as surging contender Lemos (10-1-1, 4-1 UFC) will try to make it three stoppages in a row at the expense of the ever-popular Hill (13-10, 8-10 UFC), who has never been knocked out. Referee Jason Herzog will need to be on his A-game as these two speedsters compete around the cage, but they do touch gloves respectfully before firing things up. Lemos launches a loud low kick to commence the action, and she goes to the chest with a kick that follows. Lemos chops down Hill’s lead leg again, and Hill is stuck trying to find her range and work her way inside as Lemos circles. They both swing haymakers at one another, and Lemos drops Hill with a front kick right on the chin as if she were Anderson Silva and Hill were Vitor Belfort. Lemos attacks with hammerfists and punches to try to finish the job, and Hill gets her wits about her and locks Lemos down with a closed guard. Hill briefly thinks about going after leglock off her back, but Lemos shrugs it off. Hill kicks Lemos off with several upkicks, and barely manages to avoid striking the chin while Lemos is on her knees. Hill scrambles suddenly and pushes Lemos over, with the Brazilian latching on to a guillotine choke from her back. Hill slowly, calmly sneaks her neck out and takes top position briefly, only for Lemos to power out and get back up. Lemos looses an elbow, and Hill is right there to brawl it out with her. Both women land flush, and Lemos targets another front kick that Hill barely evades. “Amandinha” stings Hill, and Hill comes right back with an overhand right that gets Lemos’ attention. Lemos sits down on a counter, but Hill beats her to the punch with a huge right hand that staggers Lemos. Hill does not pursue the finish, instead letting Lemos try to find her footing as Lemos kicks her in the chest. Hill sits down on a punch and gets countered, leading Hill to try to take her down. Hill lifts a high kick up in close proximity, and the knee pounds on Lemos’ chin but does not appear to have any appreciable effect for landing. They throw down right in the pocket, and Hill goes up high with a kick that appears to strike Herzog. He shrugs it off so he can intervene and end the round when the horn sounds.

Round 2
The second round of this thriller begins as Hill opens with a sweeping leg kick and a front kick up the middle. Lemos avoids both so she can loose a head kick, and Hill gets her guard up. They stand right in front of one another and bang, with no concern for their chins as they land flush and often. After a tough exchange, they tie up, and Lemos appears to pursue a body lock takedown by tripping Hill down. She cannot secure the takedown, so the two strawweight instead jockey for position against the fence and trade knees up the middle. The action stalls out against the wire, and Hill tries to be the aggressor as she breaks with an elbow from over the top. Lemos backs away, and she still appears content to wait on a counter. Hill leads the dance as she punches her way into the clinch, and she works the body with knees while she pins Lemos to the wall. Lemos explodes out to try to toss Hill to the ground, but Hill gathers herself and turns Lemos back around. They break after landing a strike on each side, and Lemos pierces the guard with a stiff jab. The Brazilian gets off a front kick, a leg kick, and a quick jab. Hill plods forward throwing hooks, but they do not connect as Lemos remains elusive. Hill marches forward to trade, and Lemos welcomes it with a single counter right hand. Hill appears the far fresher fighter, with Lemos waiting and allowing Hill to grind her out against the wall. They get knees off while clinched up, and Lemos mixes them up with a few short uppercuts. Lemos again tries to power Hill down, but Hill stays upright and connects cleanly to shake Lemos up. Hill blitzes forward, and she grabs hold of Lemos and drives her emphatically into the wall to end the round.

Round 3
The ladies elect to touch ‘em up to start off the last round, in a fight that could be tied up. Lemos cracks Hill in the face with a front kick, and Hill wears it well and absorbs a few more flush punches from the Brazilian. Hill swings and misses in response, and she takes a few more clean left hands right down the middle. Hill looks to stick her own jab out there until they come together from forward movement, and Lemos scores a leg kick and a right hand. As the kick lands, Hill knocks Lemos off of her feet to take her down. “Amandinha” scoots her way back to the wall, where she walks her way upright again. Lemos gets dragged down once more, only to reverse Hill and ground her. Lemos takes Hill’s back standing up, and she wraps her hands around Hill’s waist to leverage her back down to the mat. Hill does not succumb to the takedown, and breaks the grip to press Lemos into the wall. Hill lands an elbow when she breaks, and Lemos targets yet another front kick up the middle that partially lands. Lemos swings and misses, and Hill wings hooks at her that are similarly inaccurate. Lemos manages to get off a side kick, and she misses a right hand as Hill charges for a double-leg takedown. The takedown does not succeed as much as both women topple over, and they are right back to their feet and against the wire. They pound one another’s bodies with knees, and they separate as Lemos swipes at the body with her foot. Hill swings and misses with a kick to the dome, and she absorbs a right hand as she comes forward. Hill puts her foot on the gas and starts brawling, and Lemos welcomes it as they begin to slug it out. “Overkill” unleashes a vicious spinning back elbow from up close, sending Lemos down to the ground. The Brazilian pops right back up, and they trade heavy leather, kicks and knees right to the final bell. What a fight! Both women threw down from start to finish, and they put on a show!

Amanda Lemos

Big Brady picks Amanda Lemos by decision, despite concerns about her level of competition and cardio. He notes Hill has never been knocked out and has fought tougher competition. He expects Lemos to win the first two rounds clearly but possibly slow down in the third. He doesn't understand the wide line but thinks Lemos passes the test.

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Dec 16, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Cody is surprised by the line, calling Lemos a -350 favorite despite no notable wins. He notes Lemos's striking is one-dimensional (power leg kick, right hand) and she tires when extended. Hill has high volume, good cardio, and a durable chin. Cody thinks the fight will likely go to decision and Hill's experience and output give her a good chance. He calls it a 'dogger pass' situation and leans Hill.

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Dec 16, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Amanda Lemos

Daniel Levi picks Amanda Lemos confidently, calling her one of the locks of the night. He highlights Lemos's power, noting she has four knockdowns since 2020 while Hill has only three in her entire UFC career. Levi criticizes Hill's lack of improvement, tendency to gas, and questionable decision wins. He believes Lemos's southpaw stance, reach, youth, and explosive style will be too much for Hill, predicting a dominant decision with a knockdown or a late finish.

Jacob Lines Expert Confident picked Dec 15, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Amanda Lemos

Jacob picks Amanda Lemos, calling her the Conor McGregor of the women's 115 division due to her sneaky power. He thinks Lemos will likely get a first-round knockout, but notes that if Hill survives the first round, she has a chance because Lemos may gas. Jacob suggests live betting on Hill if she survives the first round, as her odds could balloon. He plans to play Lemos all the way.

Amanda Lemos

The host leans towards Lemos by decision, noting that Hill is difficult to finish but Lemos should land the more damaging shots. He thinks the fight goes the distance and likes the decision prop at +105. He is not confident enough to lay -300 on the moneyline.

Angela Hill

Paul agrees the line is wide and thinks Hill by decision at +500 is a good play. He expects Lemos to come out hot and try to finish early, but if she doesn't, Hill's cardio and volume will take over. Paul plans to watch live and possibly bet Hill live if Lemos slows down.

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Dec 13, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Angela Hill

The MMA Guru picks Angela Hill as an underdog, predicting a 29-28 decision. He argues that KO power at strawweight is inconsistent and Hill is more well-rounded and experienced. He notes Hill has a good chin and has been in there with tough opponents. He expects Hill to survive an early onslaught, then outwork Lemos in the later rounds as Lemos gasses.

Tecia Pennington

Angelo is very confident in Torres, citing her high volume, good grappling, and that she has only lost to champions.

Tecia Pennington

Tecia Pennington

Daniel Levi picks Tecia Pennington via decision, citing her better mindset, skill set, and ability to win rounds. He criticizes Angela Hill for not accepting responsibility for her losses and for accusing Pennington of steroid use without evidence. He believes Pennington is more realistic and has a win over Hill already. He expects a close fight but favors Pennington's consistency and judge-friendly style.

"I'm gonna go with Tecia via decision here"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Aug 5, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Hill has polished her game and should have better striking and movement. Torres will likely grapple, but Hill has improved takedown defense and should get back to her feet. The fight will likely be close and go to decision, but Hill is the underdog and has a good chance. However, trusting Texas judges is risky, so it's a pass for betting.

Hill by decision +180; over 2.5 rounds

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Mar 11, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Angela Hill

Big Brady picks Angela Hill, citing her significant striking advantage (nearly 6 significant strikes per minute vs Yoder's 2.8). He notes Hill has improved her takedown defense, stuffing takedowns from Michelle Waterson and Claudia Gadelha. He expects Hill to dominate on the feet and win a decision, though he is not betting at the current price (-380).

Daniel Levi Expert Hesitant picked Mar 12, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Angela Hill

Daniel Levi picks Angela Hill but warns against laying -400 on her, as all her fights are close. He expects a split decision and notes that Ashley Yoder could potentially submit Hill if she gets on top. He recalls their first fight where Hill won, but advises caution due to Hill's tendency to make fights close and her questionable claims of beating top fighters.

"You cannot lay minus 400 on angela hill she cannot be trusted all her fights are too close"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Mar 2, 2021 (11 days before fight)
Ashley Yoder

Lock will bet Yoder if she's above +300, as a half-unit stab. He thinks the odds are too twisted in Hill's favor. He notes Yoder was at +310/+320 before the fight was previously scheduled. He doesn't elaborate much on reasoning, indicating it's a value play based on line movement.

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Mar 7, 2021 (6 days before fight)
Angela Hill

The Guru is extremely confident in Angela Hill, calling it 'guaranteed money.' He notes Hill's improved takedown defense and technical striking, while criticizing Yoder's lack of technical ability.

He mentions Hill already beat Yoder before and will do so more impressively this time.

Michelle Waterson vs. Angela Hill

Round 1
On short notice, “The Karate Hottie” Waterson (17-8, 5-4 UFC) and “Overkill” Hill (12-8, 7-8 UFC) have elected to throw down for five full rounds at strawweight instead of the customary three for a short-notice headliner replacement bout. These two strikers both measuring at five-foot-three are ready for action, and referee Marc Goddard may have his hands full keeping up with this marquee matchup. They touch gloves, and Waterson backs off to open with a kick. It is well off the mark, as is the one that follows. Hill crowds her with a right hand that gets blocked, and she swings a few more but the strikes are ducked by Waterson. “The Karate Hottie” changes levels low for a takedown, and Hill stuffs it with relative ease. Hill clips her with a few punches, and she grabs a leg and thinks about tossing Waterson down but instead elects to crack Waterson on the jaw with an overhand right. Waterson kicks the lead leg and Hill comes back with a big left hand. Waterson clinches up to try to change levels, but opts for a body lock and bails on that too to elbow Hill on the chin. Hill comes out firing, and a few of her strikes bring out a smile from Waterson. Hill clicks a right hand off the dome, and her front kick pushes Waterson back from getting off a left hook. Another right finds its home on Waterson’s face, and she paws at the spot out of concern there was some early damage. There is some swelling on the right side of Waterson’s face already, and Hill continues to target that spot with left hands. Waterson circles out and lands on Hill, but Hill gives her one back. “The Karate Hottie” sells out for a takedown from a distance, but like before, Hill stands her up. Hill turns her against the fence, where she lands a few short punches before allowing a separation. A right hand from Hill has done additional damage to Waterson’s forehead, with a hematoma forming by Waterson’s temple. Waterson lands a hard kick, and she transitions into a takedown but is greeted with a knee up the middle. Hill stings her with a left hand to make Waterson bounce off the fence, and she presses in to grind Waterson on the cage wall. Hill knees her in the midsection a few times until they separate, and Hill lands a teep kick to the body. One last kick from Hill ends the round.

Round 2
The second frame begins with Waterson using some of her karate, in the form of several kicks high and low followed by a right hand that gets Hill’s attention. Hill fires back, but she takes a body kick on the way in. Waterson keeps her backed off for a time with jabs, but Hill bites down on her mouthpiece and slings a right and left hook. Hill times a counter from kick, and she kicks the body two times to decent effect. Waterson tries to swing an overhand left, but Hill stops her in her tracks twice with stiff jabs. Waterson kicks up high to make an advancing Hill readjust, and Hill eats a right hand and misses on her own counter. A high kick and subsequent body kick from Hill get blocked, and the two land jabs at the same time. Waterson gets off a right hand, but Hill hurts her with a fierce right hand that buckles the knees for a moment. Hill does not attack in a blitz, and instead uses her power jab to snap Waterson’s head back. Waterson telegraphs a takedown but uses it to try to score a right hand, but Hill sees it coming and gets her guard up in time. Waterson throws a torrent of punches that each get blocked, but she gets off a leg kick that punctuates the combination. Waterson tries to grab her leg and take her down, but Hill stops it and turns her about before pushing away. Two hard punches from Waterson land, and Hill returns fire with a huge right hand. Waterson targets the body with a pair of kicks, and Hill cracks her with a left hook that backs Waterson away. “The Karate Hottie” blitzes forward with another stream of punches that do not succeed, and Hill stops the advancement with counters. Hill lets fly an elbow when they clinch up for a moment, and Hill tries to spin but Waterson pushes her away. An axe kick that misses from Waterson is the final strike throw in the second round.

Round 3
Patiently walking towards one another, they start off the round with jabs. Hill gets one in and dances out of the way when Waterson tries to respond in kind. Hill catches her on the way in, and she lands another strike that makes Waterson backpedal. Hill follows with a head kick, but Waterson blocks it without issue. Waterson flings up her own kick, but she cannot connect with it. A big jab from Hill has busted up Waterson’s nose, and she comes out swinging. Hill steps up with a big knee up the middle, and Waterson’s eyes light up as she grabs it and bullies Hill down to the ground. Hill looks disgusted with herself for giving it up, as Waterson is in half guard and gets off a few punches. Hill ties up the arm to keep Waterson from doing much, and the blood is starting to pool from Waterson’s nose on the canvas. Waterson is not concerned as she tries to advance position, all while Hill drags her way to the cage. “The Karate Hottie” has her leg trapped so she cannot pass guard, and she is unable to posture up as Hill has her locked down. This forces Goddard to ask the fighters to work, so Waterson tries to get up and pass, but this allows Hill to get back up. Waterson uses the opportunity to take Hill’s back, and after a wild scramble, Waterson returns back to being on top in half guard. “The Karate Hottie” does not land much in the way of strikes, and is racking up control time while Hill tries and fails to kick her off. Hill flails with her legs and connects on Waterson’s chin with an upkick while Waterson is on her knee, and Goddard intervenes to check on Waterson. The clock does not stop, and instead the round ends.

Round 4
Hill begins with a leg kick, and she dodges a barrage of punches that speed past her head. When Hill over-extends with a few punches, Waterson tries to take the fight down. Hill lands a few punches, and Waterson throws right back at her before going after another takedown. Hill stuffs it and pushes “The Karate Hottie” back to the cage, where she lifts up a few knees before they separate. Hill ducks down with a left straight to the body, and she is out just out of range when Waterson throws a front kick to her midsection. They clash together and start swinging, and Hill’s punches appear to be coming at a slower velocity. Waterson kicks and counters the advancing Hill, and she connects with a left hand on the break. Waterson connects with an elbow on the inside as they crash together like waves in the ocean, and Hill rushes in to try to unload power punches but they do not find their mark. A big overhand right from Waterson collides with Hill’s cheek, and Hill tries to kick her away. Waterson kicks high and low, and when Hill counters, Waterson pursues a takedown. Hill stuffs it, so Waterson re-commits to it and cannot land this one either. Hill manages to keep her balance as she uses the fence to her advantage, although a knee on the break is too slow to reach the chin. Waterson jabs several times as Hill plods forward, and a solid side kick lands square on the midsection. Waterson flips up a head kick, and Hill eats it without giving anything back. Hill gets kicked on the chest by another side kick while coming forward, and as Waterson backs away, she surprises Hill with an axe kick. Hill continues to walk towards her opponent and presses her to the fence. Waterson manages to not only get a separation, but one last side kick finds its home as Hill charges at her when the horn sounds.

Round 5
Waterson lets out a shriek of joy as she starts out the round fired up, and two jabs are followed by a head kick. Hill walks through them, and Waterson keeps kicking up top. Hill tries to advance but gets pushed away with a high kick, and she stuffs the takedown that comes right after. Waterson utilizes another side kick to the torso, and Hill cannot block it. Hill sticks out a jab and just moves her head out of the way from a front kick. Hill lets fly a high kick of her own to catch Waterson off-guard. “The Karate Hottie” is now in full karate mode, with a spinning kick coming up short and several that make Hill think twice about walking forward. Hill tries to give her one high kick back but it is also shy of the mark, and two strikes from Waterson similarly hit nothing but air. Hill rushes in and swings, but Waterson ducks down to avoid the brunt of the strikes as she kicks Hill to the body. Hill lands a right hand, and Waterson comes back with several more ending with a body kick. Hill tries to clinch her up and land an elbow, but it just bounces off Waterson’s hair. The two both exchange at the same time, and Hill walks forward with a big right hand only to find Waterson waiting there to take her down. Hill stuffs it so Waterson lands a side kick. They both land jabs at the same time, and Hill stabs her toes on Waterson’s body. Hill strings together a few punches, and when Waterson comes back, Hill clips her with a left hand. Hill walks in and gets side kicked away, but she clamps down on her gumshield and cracks Waterson with a right hand. The kiais from Waterson are loud as she swings with everything she has left, and the two kick high and low in a frenzy. They initiate a clinch, and Hill empties her gas tank with knees and elbows that sting Waterson. Waterson gives it right back, and the two trade right until the bell. What a fight! The scorecards could be close on this one, but it most certainly did not disappoint. With this thriller in the books, we will see you next week for a huge fight night card with 14 fights booked at the moment.

Angela Hill

Big Brady picks Angela Hill, citing that she is on the rise while Waterson is trending down. He believes Hill has a significant advantage on the feet and has shown improvements in her ground game, which is Waterson's path to victory. He notes that Waterson is tough and has never been finished by strikes, but expects Hill to win by decision due to volume striking.

If the line gets closer to a pick'em, I'll definitely take a shot at Hill

Michelle Waterson-Gomez

The host believes Waterson is the better fighter overall, with superior jiu-jitsu and experience in five-round fights. He expects her to mix in takedowns and eventually secure a submission in the later rounds. However, he is concerned about her recent performance against Carla Esparza and wants a better price than +105. He likes the submission prop at +540.

Claudia Gadelha vs. Angela Hill

Round 1
In this co-main event, former title challenger Gadelha (17-4, 6-4 UFC) will look to stave off the momentum of “Overkill” Hill (12-7, 7-7 UFC) at strawweight. This potentially all-action scrap will gain oversight by referee Keith Peterson, and no nonsense will be tolerated for this next fight. Gadelha starts with a low kick, as they do not bother with touching gloves, and Hill tries to angle her way in while avoiding the left hand from the Brazilian. Gadelha shoots in for takedown but cannot score it, although she does manage to land a left hand in the process. Hill is the one pressing the pace, but other than a knee on the inside, she did not land much of significance in this exchange. Gadelha jabs her way in and blocks the looping left hand counter. The former challenger goes to the body and slaps a leg kick while dodging what Hill throws her way. Hill slips in a left, but Gadelha connects with an overhand left and a right to the body. Gadelha catches Hill on the way in with a jab, while blocking the left hook from Hill again. The jab from Gadelha scores again, and the two clinch up to throw hard but Gadelha wants the body lock takedown. Gadelha presses “Overkill” to the fence, and tries to trip Hill’s leg out but cannot secure it. Gadelha drops down for a single, and Hill defends it to stand Gadelha back up. Gadelha doggedly pursues this takedown, clinging to Hill like a bad penny while sneaking the leg out. “Claudinha” manages to hit the takedown she so desperately sought, partially because she muscled the fight down to her realm. She lands in side control, and grinds an elbow on Hill’s chin. Gadelha pulls her right arm free to land a punch, although Hill is holding on tight to block the strike and try to walk up the fence. Gadelha places her knee on Hill’s stomach to get top position, and in the scramble, Hill gets to her knees and eats some short punches. Although she stands up, Gadelha is practically attached at the hip until the bell.

Round 2
Hill begins the round with the jab, allowing Gadelha to swing with a few power strikes to back Hill off. Gadelha is able to see Hill’s punches coming, as she protects the lion’s share of them in time to block or avoid them. Three punches from Gadelha only see one land, but Hill fires back with a left straight. Another from Hill opens a cut under Gadelha’s eye. A huge right hand from Hill sends Gadelha crashing down to the ground, and Hill listens to her corner and backs off. Allowing Gadelha to stand up, an excited Hill plants a solid uppercut on Gadelha’s chin. Gadelha is wearing it now, and a forced takedown does not succeed as she takes another left in the process. Hill’s speed is playing a factor now, as she lands a one-two but gets out of danger when Gadelha wings shots back at her. Gadelha ties her up again and eats a knee on the body, but it is Hill that briefly tosses her aside. The Brazilian stands back up, but Hill is now on the offense against the fence. As Gadelha circles out and tries to load up on a left, Hill ducks out of the way and they return to the center of the cage. Gadelha swings and misses with a few power punches, and dodges Hill’s left hand to land a right of her own. Gadelha swings and scores with a heavy right hand to catch Hill, and then nails Hill with a left with equal power. Hill stuffs a takedown and works the body with a few punches, and the two start trading. Hill again targets the body with punches, while Gadelha is primarily headhunting. Hill throws a few front kicks to break up her routine, and just avoids a glancing blow from the hard-swinging Brazilian. “Overkill” catches Gadelha on the end of a left hand to possibly stumble her, and the round ends.

Round 3
Gadelha tries to start off by putting the fight where she wants it, but Hill stuffs a quick takedown and starts to slug it out. Both women stand in front of each other and trade, with Hill relying on volume while Gadelha is loading up. Hill rips to the body with a combination, and rings a left off the forehead of her opponent. Gadelha digs in a solid leg kick, but admires her work a little too long and takes a one-two. Another punch from Hill makes Gadelha check her nose briefly, and Hill follows it up with a left. Hill escapes from a cocked back left hand from the Brazilian, and stings her with a left but gets caught on the jaw with an elbow. Gadelha scores a right, and Hill jabs a few times to snap Gadelha’s head back. Gadelha chases after her to try to swing hard, and Hill avoids the hard shots while sneaking in quick straight punches. As Gadelha comes in, Hill rings her bell with a left hand, and Gadelha takes a few hops to get her balance. Hill flips up a head kick that gets blocked, and hooks a right hand. Gadelha fires right back at her and plants a left hook on Hill’s face. Hill shoves her away to get some separation, and then sticks out a jab. As Gadelha overcommits to a right hook, Hill ducks to throw a spinning back elbow, but she cannot quite land it. A few short punches have busted the nose up of Gadelha, who is now leaking from multiple places on her face. Gadelha loads up with an elbow to crack Hill, and Hill does a quick count of her teeth. We hear the 10-second clapper, and these two slug it out right until the end. Wow, what a fight. This is almost certainly going to be a close one, and win or lose, Hill's stock should definitely rise for hanging in there with a top contender.

Konklak Suphisara vs. Angela Hill

Round 1
Up next we stay with the women’s divisions but drop down 10 pounds to strawweight, as "Loma Lookboonmee" Suphisara (4-1, 1-0 UFC) tries to stave off the woman who is giving Donald Cerrone a run for his money in Hill (11-7, 6-7 UFC). Our referee for this one will be John Sharp, who bears an impressive resemblance to video game “Super Punch Out” boxer Nick Bruiser. As Suphisara goes for a glove touch, Hill ignores her, so Suphisara throws a few long teep kicks and low kicks that mostly do not connect. Hill walks her down but starts to absorb a few leg kicks, and they both swing at the same time and barely land. Hill sits down on a right and lands flush, but Suphisara shrugs it off and charges forward. The Thai throws a few punches, and Hill counters with an overhand right. Suphisara scores another leg kick, and they are starting to add up quickly as Hill looks to come back at her over the top. Hill jumps forward, lands a solid left, and darts away to avoid the counter. Hill sneaks in again with a right, and Suphisara appears slightly irritated as she eats another thudding right. Hill clinches up to land some elbows, but “Loma Lookboonmee” is the one who lands knees up the middle, and a body kick on the break. Hill whiffs on a big two-punch combination, and as Suphisara replies with a similar combination, she is similarly inaccurate. Suphisara wings a strong high thigh kick, and Hill catches it and drills her with a right hand that sends Suphisara sprawling. The right hands from Hill are causing some damage to the left eye of Suphisara, and swelling is forming quickly around it. Hill crashes forward, sensing her success, and considers a takedown but opts to bully Suphisara against the fence. Suphisara fires a few knees with her back against the cage, but in the process gets slammed down to the canvas by the American. Hill lands in side guard, but Suphisara uses a high knee to prevent any serious strikes from getting off or any guard passing. The round ends with Hill on top.

Round 2
Suphisara opens the round up with a heavy low kick, and she switches stances several times to fluster her opponent and lands a solid elbow before backing off. Hill commits to a right hook, and Suphisara closes the distance but is once more pushed back to the cage wall. Hill stays tight and wraps up the leg to pursue an outside trip, and she transitions into a single leg for just a moment. Suphisara hops in the air with her other leg, lands a jumping elbow strike, and Hill backs away. Gaining separation briefly, Suphisara goes punch-for-punch with the American for a bit until clinching up once more. Hill lands a solid elbow in the clinch and Suphisara backs off, and takes a stiff left land and then a jab in the process. Suphisara chains together a four-punch combination but only scores one, and in the process hits a takedown to put Hill down. Hill immediately throws her legs up to pursue an armbar, and Suphisara scrambles so Hill transitions into a triangle choke attempt. It is more of a leg scissor choke at this point, but Hill readjusts and locks in the triangle choke as she throws elbows from her back a la Anderson Silva vs. Travis Lutter. Not wanting to burn her legs out, Hill lets go of the choke and allows Suphisara to return to full guard. Suphisara manages to work her way up and stand, but finds herself with her back once against pressed on the cage. Hill slams a few knees home, and Suphisara nearly counters with an elbow so Hill backpedals. Suphisara nails her with a solid teep kick that sends Hill stumbling across the cage, but “Overkill” collects herself, puts her arms in the air and comes back at her. As Hill rushes in to engage, the round concludes.

Round 3
The final round begins with both women slugging it out for a moment, and Hill appears to land the more significant strikes including a solid right hand. They measure each other up, and Hill again cracks her with a right. Suphisara scores a few slapping leg kicks, but Hill walks through them into boxing range. Suphisara sticks her with a jab, and then lands a front kick to the face, so Hill races in to clinch up. Suphisara pushes her off, and throws two punches that hit nothing but air. Hill loads up with a leg kick that nearly turns “Loma Lookboonmee” around, but the Thai turns back and throws punches. The two stand before each other and trade, taking turns to swing before the other evades and counters, and repeat. Like the previous round, it is Suphisara who decides to pursue a takedown, but Hill stands her up and presses her to the cage. Hill drops down as if to go for her own takedown, and she actually lifts Suphisara up and sets her back down without doing anything with it. They separate, and Suphisara strings a few punches together. They clinch, and both manage to land knees before they flirt with some grappling and abandon it. Suphisara sits down with a few punches, Hill backs off, and the Thai is loading up on her shots as she goes to the body repeatedly. Suphisara pops her with a right-left combination, leading to Hill changing levels and going after a takedown. Suphisara fights it off but ends with her back grating against the cage, so Hill goes after a single leg takedown. Hill drops the leg, and both blast each other with solid elbows at the same time. Neither appear that concerned with the strikes, as they back away and Hill wings a high kick that comes up short. They come together, the Thai throws knees, and Hill ties her leg up before trying to land a big right hand. The horn sounds to end the fight as both are swinging hard. Hill, celebrating her performance and showing off to the judges, drops down to the cage floor to do some push-ups.

Daniel Levi picks Angela Hill but is hesitant, noting that Loma Lookboonmee is more talented than people think and that Hill's recent wins were against lower-level competition. He worries about Hill's short-notice travel and potential fatigue. However, he believes Hill's experience and size advantage will allow her to outclass Loma, possibly via ground control. He would not be shocked if the fight is close going into the third round.

Angela Hill vs. Hannah Cifers

Round 1
Dropping down to the lightest division, women's strawweight, we are treated to a potential brawl as Hill (10-7, 5-7 UFC) tries to embark upon the first win streak of her UFC tenure against Cifers (10-3, 2-1 UFC). Surprisingly, Hill bucks her trend of great punk and metal walkout songs by switching it up to "Hell Yeah" by Dead Prez. Trying to keep up with this fight will be referee Kevin MacDonald. There is no glove touch, and instead a leg kick from Cifers as Hill walks forward to open up with punches. Both swing at each other and land partially, and then do so again. The two wing punches, and Cifers lands a leg kick on the break. Hill lands a straight left to the body, and Cifers throws back with a left hook. As Cifers throws another leg kick, Hill counters over the top. Hill sticks out a jab, and Cifers backs off so Hill chases with an uppercut. Hill lands with a solid left, and Cifers smiles and throws right back at her. The jab continues to land for Hill, so Cifers bites down on her mouthpiece and fires a four-punch combination back. Halting the movement again with a jab, Hill is able to keep her distance and stay out of the way from the looping punches from Cifers. Cifers does catch Hill on the end of a right hand, but Hill is unconcerned as she throws right back. At this pace, the punch totals are going to sizeable at the end of this fight. Hill ends a combination with a kick, and Cifers grins again, so Hill crashes forward to take the smile off her face with a few knees. Hill lands a heavy right to the body, and evades the counter in time. A low kick from Hill forces Cifers to momentarily switch stances until the North Carolina native clinches up. Hill reverses the position but eats a knee, and Cifers tags her with a right as the two swing heavily. Hill overcommits with a left hook and Cifers throws back but does not land flush, so Hill follows with a right that does score. A spinning strike from Hill and a flurry from both ends the round.

Scottie Smith scores the round: 10-9 Cifers

Round 2
Both women trade leather immediately out of the gate, with Cifers throwing a few kicks to the legs and body as they brawl. Hill digs to the body with a right, and as she backs away she takes another low kick. Cifers continues to work that lead leg of Hill with two more, and evades the counters from Hill. Hill steps in with a knee, and then sweeps the legs out from beneath Cifers and lands in side control. “Overkill” grinds her elbow on the face of Cifers, but she does not throw one as she instead looks to possibly set up a submission as she steps over guard. In three-quarter mount, Hill rains down punches and advances to mount. Hill slashes down with some massive elbows, and Cifers can do nothing but absorb them. Hill keeps a high mount and continues the fury in the form of more elbows and a few punches for good measure.
A cut forms on the side of Cifers' head, and the blood begins to flow as Hill slams down elbow after elbow. MacDonald is taking a close eye on the action now, and every elbow Hill lands, he leans a little closer. Hill senses the finish, and throws several heavy punches that finally make MacDonald call the fight.
The crowd erupts into boos, upset that their hometown fighter lost by stoppage. This is a major win for Hill, who is now on the first win streak in her 13-fight UFC career.

Angela Hill vs. Ariane Carnelossi

Round 1
We continue the theme of a UFC veteran welcoming a debutant to the Octagon as Hill (9-7, 4-7 UFC) faces the surging Carnelossi (12-1, 0-0 UFC) in the strawweight division. Our referee is Fernando Salas Navarro. Carnelossi advances immediately, and gets clipped a few times on the way in by Hill. The Brazilian comes in to clinch, and Hill reverses position while landing several solid knees to the body. They break, but not before Hill cracks her opponent with a sharp right elbow. Carnelossi charges forward again, but Hill is ready on the counter. Carnelossi drops in for a single leg takedown, but Hill defends it well and separates. The Brazilian keeps the pressure coming heavy, walking Hill down and backing her against the fence. Hill circles away, and lands a right hand, but Carnelossi eats it and walks through. A two-punch combination gets through from Hill, and as her corner calls for specific strikes, Hill complies and scores every one. Hill drops in a few hard knees in the clinch, and in the exchange Carnelossi begins to bleed from her forehead. As Carnelossi pushes in, Hill brings up a knee that catches the Brazilian on the chin, but Carnelossi is unfazed. Hill steps in and lands another knee, while avoiding the counter strikes, and then lifts one more up for good measure. Carnelossi slaps in a hard leg kick, and the two women trade hands standing in front of each other. Hill catches Carnelossi with an uppercut, and the round ends.

Round 2
Carnelossi opens up with a leg kick to begin the round, and seeing its success, she sinks one more. Hill swings with a left-right, and as Carnelossi pushes in, Hill is ready to respond with short knees. As they clinch, again Hill takes the advantage by scoring an elbow on the break. The Brazilian scores a few more leg kicks, and Hill switches stances briefly, and when she does, Carnelossi tags her. Hill wears it well, and circles away while picking her shots. Hill prepares to counter any of Carnelossi's offense with a check knee, and "Sorriso" cracks Hill with a loud body kick. The two trade leather, and some swelling begins to form on The Brazilian's forehead. Hill puts together a few punches, but Carnelossi throws hard and lands on Hill's chin. Carnelossi successfully gets off another low kick, and then while coming forward lands a right over the top. Hill tries for a superman punch, but Carnelossi is ready and throws another leg kick that makes Hill hop around for a second. Hill steps in for an elbow, but Carnelossi clips her with a left hand. The American leads with a knee, and Carnelossi is content to chase her down while loading up on her right hand. Clinched up once more, Hill lands several more knees to the body, and as time expires she leaps in the air and kicks Carnelossi in the midsection.

Round 3
Carnelossi charges forward to begin the final round, and Hill counters her with a right hand and left knee. The Brazilian stalks down Hill, and chains together a several-punch combination but takes a few knees to the body for her trouble. Hill waits for Carnelossi to come in, and times a powerful right elbow that Carnelossi shrugs off. Hill digs with a left to the body, and Carnelossi tags her with a few punches before clinching up. Hill spins out and slices the Brazilian with a huge elbow that splits her forehead open. The cut, which is placed directly above Carnelossi's left eyebrow and is about an inch wide, immediately begins pouring blood. Navarro calls in the doctor, who remarks the cut is too big and calls it, so the fight is over. Hill records the TKO victory, earning her first stoppage win inside the Octagon.

Cortney Casey-Sanchez vs. Angela Hill

Round 1
The strawweights come to the center of the cage, ready to go. Hill is moving quite a bit early, giving Casey plenty of angles. “Overkill” peppers the taller fighter with a quick combo upstairs, but there’s not behind it. During an exchange, Casey stumbles back and sits down; Hill lets her up. Hill goes with a slick left hook to the face, followed by a right low kick. Hill walks into a straight left, but she counters that with a left low kick. A hard right leg kick by “Overkill” follows but Casey storms back with a left and a right to the face. The two begin opening up much more and tag each other with punches to the head. Casey eats a few more punches and then opts for a takedown. Casey ties Hill up against the cage and drags her foe to the canvas. Hill wastes no time and latches on an armbar, but the Phoenix-based fighter stacks her nicely to fend it off. Casey perfectly executes the armbar escapes, but she is immediately attacked by Hill, who shoots in for a double. Back on their feet late in the round, the ladies trade solid punches. Hill tags Casey with a pair of rights to the face to seal the round in her favor. 10-9 Hill.

Round 2
The women pick up where they left off from the end of the first and trade hard punches to the head. Hill gets the better of the initial exchange, forcing Casey to shoot in for a takedown. Hill stuffs her long enough to separate and regroups to the center of the Octagon. Hill slams a left hook and right leg kick onto the taller fighter, but the Casey counters with a straight right to the jaw that snaps Hill’s head back. “Overkill” settles down and pops her foe’s head back with a series of jabs, but the Phoenix-based fighter answers with a slurry to the head and body. Casey ducks under a left hook and shoots in for a double-leg takedown. “Overkill” does a splendid job defending it and eventually separates back to the center of the cage. Hill is bleeding from the nose, but she connects with a left hook to the jaw that briefly rocks Casey. “Cast Iron” backs off but Hill chases after her. Hill lands a straight left up top and narrowly avoids a knee to the face in return. Hill lands an overhand elbow to the head during an exchange just before the horn, capturing another round. 10-9 Hill.

Round 3
Casey, likely sensing she desperately needs this round, comes out aggressively. Hill sees it and tags her with a sweeping left hook to the jab. “Cast Iron” shakes it off and goes low with a kick before coming back upstairs with a right-left that is blocked. “Overkill” clips her foe with a right behind the ear, but it doesn’t seem to faze Casey that much. Hill has some swelling around her left eye as she digs a flurry to the body. Casey, in return, fires off a pair of rights to the head. At the midway point, Hill is moving around the cage nicely; Casey seems to be growing frustrated. A stiff left jab from “Overkill” backs off the charging Casey, who then has to swallow a right cross. Hill delivers a shot to the gut just as Casey tries closing the gap. With a minute left, Casey needs to go for broke her, but “Overkill” is playing it smart by staying just out of range. Hill tags her opponent with three left jabs, a right cross and then a left to the body. Casey tries to fire back, but Hill is nowhere to be found. They trade punches for the final few moments of the fight, but nothing is too severe. 10-9 Hill (30-27 Hill).

Angela Hill vs. Ashley Yoder

Round 1
A strawweight rematch over three years in the making headlines the prelims, as fan-favorite Hill (12-9, 7-9 UFC) and “The Spider Monkey” Yoder (8-6, 3-5 UFC) meet once again. The matchup, one that was initially scheduled for UFC Fight Night 186, comes a few weeks later due to a COVID-19 related scratch for Yoder. Getting this show on the road is referee mightily mustachioed Mike Beltran, and the two women do not touch gloves as they would rather start swinging early. Hill puts on the pressure and paws out with a left hand, and she chips away at the lead leg to start things off. Yoder throws back with a wild left hand, and Hill dances out of the way and returns to her pressure to back Yoder towards the fence. Yoder reaches out with a left hand, and she gets kicked in the leg for her effort. Hill avoids a few strikes to land a pair of long right hands, and she gets in and out before Yoder can counter. Hill kicks the lead leg again, and Yoder swats at her but cannot make Hill pay for the strike. Hill blitzes forward with punches into a clinch, and Yoder tries to tie her up and hit a trip on the inside, but she cannot land it. Both women drop to a knee from a throw, and they both pop back up at the same time and are still tied up. Hill hacks at her foe with a fierce elbow, and she keeps heavy pressure and sets up a knee or two. The two women separate, and Yoder lands a surprising left hand that gets Hill’s attention. Hill retaliates with a few leg kicks, and a looping right hand from Hill finds its home on the target. A subsequent strike stings Yoder, who crashes forward to take the fight down but is stuffed and clocked with an overhand right. Yoder backs off and preemptively raises her leg to prepare for the leg kick, and it comes as soon as she sets her leg down. Hill wings a right hand, and she bullies Yoder into the cage with a huge right hand that hurts Yoder badly. Hill uses the forward momentum to land a few more shots and push Yoder down to the ground. Hill just barely stops herself from landing an illegal knee, and she bowls Yoder over to land punches until the bell.

Round 2
Hill comes out aggressively to begin the second stanza, aiming a leg kick and a right hand as Yoder recalibrates. Hill keeps working the leg and swarming her foe with punches, and she gets Yoder’s attention with a kick that almost makes Yoder’s knee buckle. Hill loads up on a right hand and Yoder is forced to go after a desperation takedown, but there is nothing to it. Hill’s feints and fakes are drawing reactions out of her opponent, as Yoder lifts her leg up and flinches before getting hit. Hill drills her in the face with a stiff right hand, and Yoder shakes it off and backs off. Hill digs to the body with a left hand, and Yoder is reeling as she takes a few punches on the chin shortly thereafter. Hill lays into Yoder with a few more shots, and Yoder wipes her nose and looks flustered on the feet as she fails at a takedown attempt. Yoder tries to tie Hill up in the clinch, and Hill unloads on her with a few punches. Yoder breaks free and gets kicked in the chest, and the strike moving her back allows her to get out of the way from a massive right hand. Hill charges after he with a few punches, and when Yoder takes her turn to advance, one single short jab is all she can muster. Hill lands a few kicks as she closes the range, and Yoder latches on but cannot keep Hill stuck. “Overkill” targets the leg a few times, and Yoder counters once with a punch but allows the remainder to land. Hill walks forward with a step-in knee, and she jabs the body and gets jabbed back. Hill whiffs on a head kick and circles back to a low kick. Yoder crashes forward but gets punched in the body, and she doubles over in pain. Hill attacks recklessly, charging forward and landing more body shots that keep damaging her opponent. Hill gets a little too wild trying to finish the job, as Yoder channels her momentum against her and throws Hill to her back. Yoder climbs into the guard, and Hill answers her by elbowing her from the bottom repeatedly. Hill almost kicks Yoder off of her, but Yoder scrambles back on top to end the round.

Round 3
Hill immediately starts off with a body kick, and Yoder comes out swinging. Hill is forced to back off and defend herself, and she thwarts a takedown and spins Yoder into the fence. “Overkill” starts working the body with knees, and Yoder is not fond of these strikes as she keeps reaching down to try to grab the knee but cannot get to it before Hill retracts it. Hill keeps spamming these knees in the clinch, and she elbows Yoder in the face to mix up her attack while “The Spider Monkey” is trapped against the wire. Hill gets off a few more knees until they separate, and Yoder swings wildly and gets countered to the body with ease. Hill swings a right hand to the midsection, and she gets off a high kick that careens off Yoder’s shoulder. When Hill lands a body shot, Yoder leans over but gathers herself. Hill targets the same spot, and she marches forward when Yoder reacts again to knee her in the same spot. In the clinch, Hill blasts her opponent in the chest repeatedly with reckless knees, and Yoder catches her and trip Hill to put her on her back. Yoder sneaks over to half guard, and she starts letting loose with left hands as she gets her breath back. “The Spider Monkey” wrangles to aim for an arm-triangle choke, but Hill is wise to it so Yoder steps over to keep Hill planted on her back. Hill scoots her way to the fence, and she looks irritated as she is stuck while Yoder holds on to her. Hill gets back to her feet in an odd exchange, and she knees Yoder to the body a few times. Hill gets kicked as she tries to spin, and she steps in with a right hand that catches Yoder on the chin. When Yoder throws a head kick at her, Hill catches it and lands a few right hands right before the final horn.

Angela Hill vs. Jessica Andrade

Round 1
Andrade inches forward in the opening minute, while Hill bounces backward, staying light on her toes while flicking out leg kicks and jabs. Andrade tries to grab hold of one kick, but Hill backpedals and reels in the limb. Andrade tags Hill with a right hand as Hill backs up against the cage, but Hill swings back and circles away to escape being trapped. Hill scores with a knee to the body, answered by Andrade with a right hand. Andrade tries to corner Hill on the fence, connects with another right hand, but again Hill is able to bail out. Andrade keeps pressing forward and slings power punches with both hands, tagging Hill at the fence once again. Hill is eating everything Andrade has to offer and continuing to fire back; likewise, Andrade walks through the striker's counters and continues to work strong body-head combinations. Hill gets turned around during one exchange and is jammed against the cage, where Andrade catches her with another pair of hard rights. Andrade scores with a left hook-uppercut, throws in a body shot and keeps marching after Hill in the final minute. Hill seems unfazed as Andrade tags her with another stinging right in the closing seconds, but there's no doubt Andrade is landing hard shots.

Continuing her forward press at the start of round two, Andrade lands a pair of inside leg kicks and then swipes her left hand across Hill's face. Andrade appears to hurt Hill with a shot to the body, but as she's back up to the wall, Hill grabs the Brazilian in the Thai clinch and delivers a hard knee to the face. Andrade comes up with a cut under her right eye, but she's still coming forward, still pressuring Hill with big power shots. Andrade chases Hill across the cage with a body shot and a right hook across the face. Hill still looks fresh and light on her feet despite absorbing a couple dozen hard shots from Andrade to this point. Andrade gets Hill against the cage and explodes with a flurry of body punches and uppercuts. Again, Hill is able to take the punishment and circle out of danger, back to the center of the cage. Andrade walks forward, into a right hand from Hill, but "Bate Estaca" hardly stops for a moment before she's swinging punches again. With one minute left, Andrade gets hold of a single-leg and spins Hill to the ground, then begins the process of establishing back-mount. Hill goes to her knees, leaving Andrade in riding position, landing punches from behind. Hill gets back to her feet for a moment, only to be picked up and tossed back to the floor before the horn.

Round 3
Andrade moves Hill backward to the fence and lands a right hand, prompting both women to begin slinging with punches with both hands; Andrade appears to get the better of the exchange. Andrade goes to the body with a right hand, comes upstairs and knocks slobber out of Hill's mouth with a clubbing left hook. Hill hardly blinks, just keeps circling backward while Andrade continues her forward motion. Andrade hurts Hill with a right hook to the temple, but the wounded Hill knocks Andrade to the ground with a stiff jab to the chest. Andrade springs back to her feet and stuns Hill with a left hook on the chin, steps in to follow up with a knee. Hill stays standing, though, ducking and weaving to try and avoid Andrade's bombs. Down to the final minute of the fight, Andrade continues to bring the pressure, constantly moving Hill backward with body shots and power punches. Andrade catches Hill leaning in and lands a knee, but Hill gets her head off center for Andrade's flying follow-up.

Rose Namajunas vs. Angela Hill

Round 1
Namajunas uses her long reach to put a few right hands on Hill’s face in the opening 30 seconds, then the strawweights clinch up and fight to the fence. Hill takes the outside position, but Namajunas quickly reverses and circles out to the center. Hill takes a jab to the fence, puts a kick on Namajunas’ lead leg. “Thug Rose” presses into range, wraps up Hill and trips her to the ground. Hill is able to fend off a guard pass but gives up her back as she tries to stand. Namajunas wastes no time in taking the back and stays locked on as Hill powers back to her feet. Almost instantly, Namajunas slaps on a tight rear-naked choke. Hill tries to fight it off, punching and flailing until she finally loses consciousness and slumps to the ground. Referee Joe Solis steps in, and an ecstatic Namajunas celebrates her first UFC win.

Angela Hill vs. Tecia Torres

Round 1
A rematch over six years in the making comes in the strawweight division, when “The Tiny Tornado” Torres (12-5, 8-5 UFC) and “Overkill” Hill (13-9, 8-9 UFC) start Round 4 of their unexpected grudge match. Torres won their first meeting, and although both have made marked improvements in that time, she suddenly swells to a -160 betting favorite on fight night. Referee Mike Beltran is on call for this high-energy showdown, and there is no touch of gloves and a whiff of bad blood between them. Both women come out jabbing, and when Hill tries to put on the pressure, Torres kicks her away with a push kick. Torres lands a kick to the body when Hill tries to swarm her with punches, and does this again to give Hill pause. “The Tiny Tornado” leaps in the air with a superwoman punch, and she continually lands kick to the body while Hill is trying to find her range. Torres scores a right hand that shakes Hill up, and she chains a combination together that makes Hill have to adjust. Torres lands a leg kick, and Hill catches it and trips Torres down to the ground. Torres uses upkicks off her back when Hill lords over her, until Hill dives in to drag Torres down when Torres stands up. “Overkill” keeps her full body weight on her foe as she hits a trip in the clinch, and Torres springs back up and takes a few knees up the middle. Hill holds tight in the clinch until Torres knees her to back her off, and she scores a right hand that forces Torres to take a quick count of her teeth. Hill just avoid a high kick that soars at her, and Torres counters Hill on the way in with a fierce right hand. Torres once more kicks low, and Hill grabs it again but cannot put Torres down this time. Torres instead stays on her bike, avoids a right hand and head kick, and pops Hill with a few right hands. Hill walks forward into a takedown attempt from Torres, and the latter lands it for a second. Hill powers back up, and as soon as she stands, Torres kicks her in the side and cracks her with a right hand. Torres just misses with a spinning back fist, and they clash shins at the same time. Torres ducks a looping shot from Hill, and Hill successful evades another spinning back fist. Torres starts to brawl with her opponent, and Hill has to back off and takes a kick to the body. Torres crashes forward to land a few punches, and her constant activity is getting to Hill. Hill spins with an elbow and thumps her opponent right on the chin, and her shin connects with the ribcage as the round ends.

Round 2
Torres targets the body as she did in the previous round, and both women start twirling with spinning strikes. Hill pushes the pace and reaches out a front kick, but Torres avoids it and gets off a hook kick. Torres stays on the outside, playing the matador to Hill’s bull, and she even throws an axe kick that Hill sees coming. Hill bites down on her mouthpiece and throws heavily, connecting squarely on the chin. Torres backs off and dings Hill with a check right hook, forcing Hill to shake it off. Torres uses both legs to keep Hill at bay, with body kicks and slapping head kicks measuring her distance. Torres has a side kick caught, and Hill snags it, spins around to take her back, and drags Torres to the ground. “The Tiny Tornado” spins her way back up to her feet, and she hops towards the cage wall as Hill is glommed on to her. Hill knees Torres a few times in the close proximity, and when she lets go, she misses on a break strike. Torres reaches her foe with a right hand, and a head kick that follows gets blocked. Hill plods forward, and Torres grabs her and throws her into the fence. The two exchange heavy clinch strikes, and Torres drills her with a knee and an elbow to get her to back off. Torres catches Hill on the way in with a body kick, and she paws a front kick out of the way. Torres slings a pair of looping punches, and the leg kick after it is more effective as Hill is forced to bend a knee for a moment. Hill gets up and Torres greets her with a few punches, and Torres stays constantly busy throwing offense with punches and kicks. The targets vary, with high kicks and low kicks coming in rapid succession as Hill comes forward. Hill scores a single left hand, and she spins with an elbow and clocks Torres on the jaw. A wild scramble allows Hill to somehow climb on top into full mount when the fight suddenly falls to the ground, and the round ends before she can do anything with it.

Round 3
The strawweights meet in the center of the cage, and Torres sees kicks coming and evades most of them. Torres scores a left and a right as Hill barrels towards her, and Torres smacks her in the body with a kick as Hill tries to close in and clinch. Torres uses the momentum to turn around and push off, where she subsequently wings a right hand that bounces off Hill’s hair. The two women swing wildly for a moment, and Torres thinks better of it and backs off so she can score with kicks. Hill eats a punch coming in, and Torres scores a few more after it as Hill tries to tie her up. Torres again breaks the grip and lands a strike on the separation, and Hill thanks her for this with a solid body shot. Both women miss on high kicks, and Torres spins with a back fist that is blocked in time. Torres kicks high and is countered with an overhand right, and she comes right back to “Overkill” with one of her own. Torres lets loose a body kick, and Hill clings to it and looks to pursue a trip but Torres hops on one leg and nails Hill with a right hand. Hill lets it go and releases her own right hand, but Torres is no worse for wear as the two hit each other with everything they have. The two women clash together as they are both throwing wildly, clinching up for a moment before letting their hands go again. Hill lands one, but takes two as she backs off. Torres advances and gets popped in the nose, causing a little blood to trickle from her nostrils. The two women both land one after the other in rapid succession, until Hill changes things up and tries to pursue a takedown. “The Tiny Tornado” sees it coming and blows it away, but not before Hill can land to the body. Torres charges forward and misses, allowing Hill to return with a few blows. Torres ducks a punch to drop down and hit a takedown, and when Hill climbs back to her feet, Torres drags her back down. The fun back-and-forth fight ends as Torres appears to be setting up an armbar.

Emily Kagan vs. Angela Hill

Round 1
The strawweights come together in the clinch quickly with Hill jockeying for position until Kagan breaks free. She takes the centre of the cage and wants to strike, but Hill's length and kicking game are starting to score. Hill runs back inside and clinches, landing a hard flurry that puts Kagan to the outside of the cage. Kagan's face is already starting to show significant damage. Jab, cross and a body kick land for the New Yorker, who is really busting Kagan up badly. She connects with a short shot that puts Kagan on the ground, but Kagan recovers quickly. Unfortunately for her, she recovers right into a sea of heavy knees from Hill. A head kick with punches behind it stun her. Kagan is in trouble at the bell but survives.

Round 2
Kagan is game as the second starts, but showing little defense as Hill scores with almost every punch or kick she throws. Hill starts operating well from range, so she steps inside to the clinch, switches it up and lands another hard knee that hurts Kagan. Kagan's right eye now streaming blood. Kagan bulls forward for a takedown, but she gets stuffed and eats more brutal knees to the head and body. “Angie Overkill” ragdolls her to the floor in defense after busting her with more heavy knees, and Kagan hops right up. She runs right back into range and eats more punches and knees from Hill. This fight is turning into a blowout. Hill lands a two-piece, then kicks from the outside up until the horn.

Round 3
It's more of the same in round three as the gritty Kagan tries to close the distance on the superior, rangier striker, and is punished for it. Hill scores with punches and kicks from the outside and starts working elbows in close when Kagan sat tacks. Kagan bulls into the clinch, drops for a single and finally manages to drag Hill to the mat. Hill pops back to her feet, but Kagan is desperate and wills a second takedown to existence. As Kagan tries to work, “Overkill” jumps back up to her feet again. They're right in the clinch, so Hill lands a volley of hard knees and elbows, scrambling to take Kagan's back at the final horn.
