Angela Hill vs. Tecia Torres the latest addition to UFC 265

Adam D Martin - June 15, 2021

A women’s strawweight rematch between Angela Hill and Tecia Torres is the latest addition to this summer’s UFC 265 pay-per-view event. MMA DNL was the first to report the news of the Hill vs. Torres fight for UFC 265. This is actually a rematch after the two previously met at UFC 188 in Mexico City, Mexico in June 2015. Torres won a unanimous decision that night, and now Hill will be looking to get revenge in the rematch this summer. UFC 265 takes place on August 7 and is rumored to take place at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The planned main event is set to feature UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou against Derrick Lewis in a rematch, while UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes also takes on Julianna Pena on the card.

Angela Hill puts out open call to women's strawweights, Tecia Torres volunteers services

Adam Martin - May 9, 2021

UFC women’s fighter Angela Hill put out an open call to other women’s strawweights, and Tecia Torres has volunteered her services. Hill was set to fight Amanda Ribas in a high-profile women’s strawweight bout on the UFC Vegas 26 undercard, but the fight fell apart at the last minute when Ribas tested positive for COVID-19. Unfortunately, the late scratch meant that it was impossible for the UFC to get someone to fight Hill and she was pulled from the card without getting a fight. It’s possible that the UFC will try and re-book this fight but it’s also possible the promotion could have Hill return in a quick turnaround fight since she is not fully healthy and ready.
