At UFC Vegas 10, Angela Hill will serve as one half of the newly scheduled main event between her and fellow strawwieght contender, Michelle Waterson. It will be the first time in UFC history that an African-American woman has headlined a fight card.
Her manager, Brian Butler-Au pointed this out to Hill and she could not be more proud of the accomplishment. Hill spoke about the major feat during a virtual media day ahead of her fight on Saturday night.
“It’s big, and I didn’t even realize how big it was until he mentioned it to me,” said Hill (video via MMA Junkie).
