Before her last fight against Ashley Yoder, Angela Hill said that every time she gets close to breaking into the top five of the UFC strawweight division, “something dumb happens.”
“I’m kinda at the point where it’s hard for them to give me someone who isn’t ranked, so that’s always nice,” Hill said. “But to get into that top five is always a challenge, so I feel like a big win over (Amanda) Ribas could get me a little bit closer to there.”
“I have to beat a top five opponent to get there. I messed up with the last two,” Hill said, laughing in reference to her split decision losses to Cláudia Gadelha and Michelle Waterson last year.
