Angela Hill and Tecia Torres will run it back at UFC 256. The two strawweights are reportedly scheduled to compete on December 12. However, official confirmation has yet to be provided by the UFC.

Hill (12-9) and Torres (11-5) last met back in 2015 on Season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter. The season would crown the first-ever women’s Strawweight Champion. The first fight resulted in Tecia Torres getting a unanimous decision win over Angela Hill.

Hill eventually exited the UFC after one more loss to Rose Namajunas. Hill would join Invicta FC and put a string of victories to become the promotion’s Strawweight champion.

This would earn Hill her way back into the UFC. Since they last met, the two strawweight contenders have come a long way. Torres has fought ten opponents and with Hill having fought 18.

Tecia Torres is coming off a unanimous decision win against Brianna Van Buren. Angela Hill, on the other hand, has had some bad luck. Hill is coming off two close back-to-back decision losses against Claudia Gadelha and Michelle Waterson.

Now mainstays of the division, Hill, and Torres will go head to head once again. Hill looking to avenge the first loss of her career and Torres will be aiming at moving on to a two fight win streak.

At UFC Fight Night 117, Hill would make history facing Michelle Waterson. Angela Hill became the first black woman to headline a UFC card.
