Angela Hill issues statement following UFC Vegas 20 fight cancellation
Women’s strawweight standout Angela Hill was expected to make her first Octagon appearance in five months at tonight’s UFC Vegas 20 event.

Meanwhile, Ashley Yoder (8-6 MMA) was aiming to build off the momentum of her recent unanimous decision victory over Miranda Granger before tonight’s bout with Hill was called off at the last minute.
