34-year-old Michelle Waterson is treading water in the UFC (4-4). Waterson has lost four of seven fights, including two in a row to Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Carla Esparza, both via decision. Defense is her biggest weakness, allowing 3.79 significant strikes per minute with a striking defense of 48%. This is another tough matchup for her against Angela Hill. Hill is on a 3-1 UFC run, including a second-round TKO victory over Hannah Cifers. She comes off her first loss in a while, a competitive but controversial decision to Claudia Gadelha. Many thought Hill had done enough to obtain the victory, going toe-to-toe with Gadelha's specialty (grappling). While Hill impressed on the mat in that fight, her specialty is power. She is an active, aggressive attacker averaging 5.76 significant strikes landed per minute with a 49% striking accuracy. For this bout, Hill has a two-inch reach edge and has far better defense (72% takedown defense, with a striking defense of 64%). Take Angela Hill to win the fight.
