Ranked UFC women’s strawweight contender Angela Hill defends her place in the division, as she’s scheduled to face promotional newcomer Jingnan Xiong on Saturday as part of the UFC Macau card inside the Galaxy Arena.

Due to her two-fight skid, Hill is going to be the betting underdog with +165 UFC odds, while Jingnan, who hasn’t lost a pro fight since 2019, will be the betting favorite with -200 odds.

UFC Macau: Angela Hill vs. Jingnan Xiong: Prediction

With the better boxing skills of Jingnan, I predict a TKO/KO victory for her against Hill. Jingnan uses her boxing very well and fires several combinations that catch her opponents off guard. Along with the boxing combination comes the power in those hands.

Another major factor in this match is Hill’s age, as she’s already well past her prime at 41. This has been the main catalyst in her last two octagon fights, as she’s visibly slower and is one step behind.

Jingnan is expected to fully maximize her 5-inch reach and 2-inch leg reach advantages against Hill, especially since they’re both striking-based fighters and takedowns and scrambles aren’t expected much.

Angela Hill’s Recent Fight Results

Hill was a former Invicta FC champion before signing with the UFC in 2017. However, she dropped three of her last five bouts, with losses to Tabatha Ricci, Iasmin Lucindo, and Fatima Kline. Meanwhile, Hill’s wins during this period were against Luana Pinheiro and Ketlen Souza.
