One such fight is the Women’s Strawweight clash between Tecia Torres and Angela Hill.

Torres last competed in the UFC back in December 2020 as she faced and defeated Sam Hughes at the UFC 256 event. This was Torres’s second consecutive victory as she had also won her previous fight against Brianna Van Buren at UFC Vegas 3. However, prior to this fight, Torres was in dismal form having lost 4 consecutive MMA fights on the trot.

Coming to the fight, Torres seems very dangerous as she is one of the most powerful strikers in the women’s strawweight division and also maintains great pace throughout the fight. ‘The Tiny Tornado’ mixes things well and throws a flurry of strikes to take out her opponent.

The only thing that seems week in Torres’s game is her ability to escape when clutched against the cage. However, her opponent Hill is no slouch either and has incredible Muay Thai skills. ‘Overkill’ will also have the advantage of height and reach over the comparatively shorter Torres.

Final Prediction: Tecia Torres defeats Angela Hill via unanimous decision.
