Well, let me tell ya, that fight between Angela Hill and Tabatha Ricci was somethin’ else! It took place at the UFC on ESPN 62, a big event down at UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Now, I ain’t one to watch every fight, but when they say it’s a co-main event, ya know it’s gonna be a good one. So, let me spin ya a yarn about what happened.
First off, I reckon both of ’em came ready to rumble. You got Angela Hill, the experienced one, been around the block a few times. She’s a stand-up fighter, likes to throw them punches and kicks, ya know? Then you got Tabatha Ricci, the young Brazilian, with a whole lotta fire in her belly. She ain’t scared to get in close and wrestle. You could tell right from the start, this was gonna be a match of styles.
Now, from the very first round, Ricci came in hot! She didn’t waste no time at all. She was all over Hill, pressuring her, making her move back. I think Hill was a bit surprised, ‘cause Ricci just kept comin’ at her, like a bull in a china shop. Hill tried to use her strikes to keep her distance, but Ricci wasn’t havin’ none of it. She kept pressuring and pressuring, takin’ Hill to the ground more than once, and that’s where Ricci shines, you see. She’s got them wrestling skills, and Hill just couldn’t keep up with that part of the game.
In the second round, Hill tried to make a comeback, throwin’ them punches, but Ricci was all over her. Every time Hill tried to stand tall, Ricci would shoot in for a takedown, takin’ the fight right back to the mat. Ricci had control, and it was clear she was workin’ towards that top-10 spot in the strawweight division. And by the end of the fight, she showed everyone just what she’s made of.
I tell ya, it was a real battle of endurance. Hill fought hard, but Ricci was just too much for her. She was quicker, stronger, and had that grindin’ pressure that never let up. Ricci won the fight, and folks around the UFC were talkin’ ‘bout her for sure. She earned that victory, and I reckon she’s gonna be a big name in that strawweight division from now on.
If you missed this one, don’t worry, there’ll be more fights down the line. But I tell ya, you ain’t gonna see too many like this one where someone’s takin’ the fight to another like Ricci did. Hill might’ve been the veteran, but Ricci brought that fresh fire and made it count.

- Tabatha Ricci was dominant throughout the fight with her wrestling skills.
- Angela Hill fought hard but couldn’t keep up with Ricci’s pressure.
- Ricci’s victory solidifies her spot in the top 10 of the UFC strawweight division.
