Angela Hill replaces teammate Jessica Penne, faces Jodie Esquibel at UFC Fort Lauderdale

With one “Straw” out, the other will fill in on short notice.

Angela Hill will replace her teammate — and “Two Straws” podcast co-host — Jessica Penne in a women’s strawweight fight against Jodie Esquibel at UFC Fort Lauderdale on April 27, the UFC announced Friday. MMA DNA was the first to report the news.

Penne was initially supposed to fight Esquibel in her comeback bout after an absence of almost two years at UFC Phoenix in February, but injured her ankle the morning of the event and was forced to pull out.
