Angela Hill

Overview

Thirty UFC fights, and only three of them ended before the final bell. Angela Hill is 14-16 in the UFC at women's strawweight, and almost every one of those 30 fights went the distance: 11 of her 14 wins and 14 of her 16 losses were decisions.

That's the whole profile in one line. She is a durable, busy striker who rarely finishes anyone and, with one exception, rarely gets finished herself. Her record sits two losses under .500, but the volume of fights she has taken is the real story.

UFC Career

Hill debuted on December 11, 2014, at The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned Finale with a unanimous decision over Emily Kagan. The early run was rough. She dropped a decision to Tecia Pennington, then lost by first-round submission to Rose Namajunas at 2:47.

Her first real stretch came in 2019 and 2020. After a unanimous decision over Jodie Esquibel in April 2019 and a loss to Yan Xiaonan, she won three straight: a third-round TKO of Ariane Carnelossi, a second-round TKO of Hannah Cifers, and a decision over Loma Lookboonmee. Her two knockout wins both came in this window. Three straight is also her longest UFC win streak.

The rest of the run is a close-fight grind. Split decisions went against her versus Cortney Casey, Claudia Gadelha, Michelle Waterson-Gomez (a five-round fight) and Amanda Lemos, who our model rates as a strong opponent. She headlined against Mackenzie Dern in May 2023 over five rounds and lost a unanimous decision.

She took her second submission win in May 2024, catching Luana Pinheiro in round two at 4:12. Her most recent win is a unanimous decision over Xiong Jingnan, which means she carries a one-fight win streak into her next fight.

Thirty fights in, she's still taking them.

Fighting Style

Angela Hill is a busy striker who is hard to hit cleanly. She throws and lands at a high clip, and she is accurate and defensively sound while doing it. She does take shots in return, so she is comfortable trading rather than avoiding exchanges.

Grappling is not part of her offense. She rarely shoots for takedowns and almost never hunts for submissions, but she is very hard to take down, which keeps most of her fights on the feet.

Her finishing pattern matches that profile. She has two knockouts and one submission among her 14 wins, with none in the first round. Her finishes came in the second and third rounds, while 11 of her wins went to the scorecards.

Her record also shows how fights tend to end against her. Two of her 16 losses came by submission, and the other 14 went to the judges.
