Brief winning streak snapped
StrawweightUFC
August 24, 2024
Hill lost to Tabatha Ricci via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Facing an opponent a decade her junior, Hill hung tough in what was a high-paced fight throughout. From a striking standpoint, Angie matched Ricci blow-for-blow. Literally. Both women landed 140 total strikes. The downfall was Hill was the fact she allowed three takedowns to Ricci, good for 5:04 worth of control time. Angie gained some momentum down the stretch, but Tabatha did enough good work over the course of the first 10 minutes to earn the decision. Set to turn 40 years of age next January, Hill continues to be competitive, going 4-2 in her last half-dozen bouts dating back to August 2022.

Easily handles Luana Pinheiro
StrawweightUFC
May 18, 2024
Hill defeated Luana Pinheiro via submission (guillotine choke) at 4:12 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Hill is 39 years of age and has been a professional for more than a decade. She has made a career of point fighting and winning fights by racking up plenty of volume on the feet, but she displayed an entirely new aspect of her game here. Angie connected on 2-of-6 takedown attempts and flawlessly clamped on and executed a guillotine choke that forced Pinheiro to tap in the latter stages of Round 2. it would go on to earn her a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, one of two awarded on the evening. It's a stretch to suggest Hill will be adding new wrinkles to her game given her advanced age, but any improvements in her grappling will serve to raise her ceiling given Hill's excellent striking abilities. Angie improves to 4-1 in her past five fights dating back to August 2022.

February 22, 2024
Hill is scheduled to compete against Luana Pinheiro in a strawweight fight at the UFC's May 18 event, per Nolan King of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
Hill will enter what could be her 10th full year in the UFC. 2023 was a mixed bag for the strawweight veteran, who began that year with a loss to Mackenzie Dern but somewhat bounced back with a win over Denise Gomes. Pinheiro also went 1-1 in 2023, with a split-decision win over Michelle Waterson-Gomez and a brutal TKO at the hands of Amanda Ribas.

Hill defeated Denise Gomes via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Set to turn 39 years of age next January and fresh off getting demolished by Mackenzie Dern in a main event this past May, Hill completely flipped the script to earn a much-needed victory. Long known as a pure stand-up specialist, Angie leaned on her wrestling game to get past Gomes. She fired off a whopping nine takedown attempts, landing five, good for 8:03 worth of control time. Grounding Gomes was an extremely smart game plan from Hill given the former's aggressiveness on the feet. The Dern setback sticks out like a sore thumb given how lopsided it was, but Hill has quietly won three of her last four dating back to August 2022.
