Angela Hill has been the busiest strawweight in the UFC, notching 8 fights in two years. And despite having two disappointing close losses to divisional dynamos Michelle Waterson and Claudia Gadelha, she’s back in the saddle this weekend against California’s Ashley Yoder.
Hill (12-9) had a great three-fight win streak in that eight-fight run, which included a doctor stoppage over the very strong Ariane Carnelossi and a barnburner against razor-sharp striker Loma Lookboonme. Pandemic or not, she’s starting early to be on track for another year where she fights more than four times.
This fight will be a rematch of their 2017 tilt in which Hill won by decision in a fairly gritty affair.
