Angela Hill: 40-year-old ready for another battle
Angela Hill (17-14) shows no signs of slowing down despite being 40-years-old and the veteran is as motivated as ever to bounce back from defeat last time out. She lost to Tabatha Ricci by unanimous decision last August but that came after a Performance of the Night display as she submitted Luana Pinheiro. She has won four of her last six fights and the veteran will be looking to get back in the win column here.
Ketlen Souza: Brazilian looking for third successive win in the Octagon
Ketlen Souza (15-4) is looking to make waves in the UFC and she is on the right path having won her last two bouts. She picked up a unanimous decision win over Marnic Mann in April and followed that up by submitting Yazmin Jauregui in September. She now faces a hardened veteran which is easily the biggest test of her career and it will be interesting to see if she can rise to the level.
Angela Hill vs Ketlen Souza Prediction
This is a really interesting match-up from the UFC matchmakers that will iron out whether Ketlen Souza has levels to go or whether she is somewhat limited in the strawweight division.
Angela Hill is a tough opponent for any fighter and the 40-year-old continues to graft and pick up some valuable wins. She is motivated to defy her age and Souza will have to bring her A-game and rise a level or two if she is to beat her.
Souza built her CV outside the UFC and she has good potential. She has not faced any real tests like this however and she has some way to go still, this may just be a step too far for her right now. We like Hill’s chances of grinding this one out here and her technical superiority should just make the difference.
Prediction: Angela Hill to win by decision
