Angela Hill didn’t have to wait long to find a new opponent after Istela Nunes was pulled from their upcoming bout due to a failed drug test.
Hill (9-7) is now expected to face Ariane Carnelossi (12-1) at UFC Mexico City on Sept. 21. Multiple sources close to the situation confirmed the news to MMA Fighting following an initial report from Indiscutido.com.
Carnelossi was originally scheduled to make her UFC debut at the recent card in Uruguay, but her opponent Taila Santos was forced out of the fight at the last minute.
