Generations Collide At UFC APEX

Only 10 times in UFC history have two fighters with at least a 16-year age gap faced off inside the Octagon. This Saturday at UFC APEX, we’ll get an 11th, as rising strawweight contender Iasmin Lucindo takes on longtime UFC veteran Angela Hill.

Lucindo is currently the sixth-youngest fighter on the UFC roster (and youngest female fighter) at just 23 years old. Her opponent, Hill, turned 40 earlier this year. The two are 16 years, 11 months and 27 days apart in age, making this one of the five largest age gaps in UFC history.

Hill has been competing in professional mixed martial arts since Lucindo was just 12 years old, racking up 32 fights and cementing herself as a fixture in the UFC strawweight division.
