Angela Hill can see Mackenzie Dern coming out on top when she runs back her 2019 clash with Amanda Ribas this Saturday night inside The APEX.

A little over five years ago, Ribas landed a big unanimous decision win over Dern at UFC on ESPN+ 19, snapping the BJJ sensation’s seven-fight win streak. Now, the two fan favorites will run it back as the promotion kicks off 2025 with a bang in Las Vegas.

Hill sees Amanda Ribas having a ‘Rough Night’ against Mackenzie Dern

The first time around, Ribas was able to stifle Dern’s world-class grappling and muster her second career win under the UFC banner. Since then, the Brazilian has added five more wins to her resume, but her recent struggles to stay in the win column has ‘Overkill’ thinking Saturday’s scrap favors Dern.

“Leaning towards Dern, just because Ribas doesn’t look as good at strawweight … I feel like she looks more vulnerable,” Hill said on her 2Straws podcast. “I feel like Dern has the same ability to just throw everything into her punches, come forward, maybe drop her before she jumps on top of her. And I feel like it might be a rough night for Ribas just because of that.”

After seeing her fight-five win streak snapped against Marina Rodriguez in 2020, Ribas has alternated wins and losses, adding victories over Virna Jandiroba, Viviane Araujo, and Luana Pinheiro while falling to Katlyn Cerminara, Maycee Barber, and ‘Thug’ Rose Namajunas.

Dern, like Ribas, has seen her own struggles inside the Octagon. She is currently 1-2 in her last three including back-to-back losses against Jessica Andrade and Amanda Lemos.

In her most recent outing, she delivered a dominant showing against Lupita ‘Loopy’ Godinz in August.

‘Wouldn’t Want to Be Left Alone at a Conor McGregor Party’ says UFC Veteran Angela Hill

UFC veteran Angela Hill recently shared her thoughts on the unpredictability of Conor McGregor. ‘Overkill’ Hill discussed the infamous partying lifestyle of ‘Notorious’ McGregor, former two-division UFC champion. Apparently, once the man gets started into something bad no one can stop him.

Angela Hill Talks Conor McGregor

Speaking on her podcast alongside Jessica Penne, Angela Hill said, “I would not want to be left alone at a Conor McGregor party because he sounds—he sounds like, once he gets going, I feel like whether you care about him or not, he can’t be stopped.” Hill is suggesting that someone needs to keep an eye on McGregor at all times, like a bodyguard, to ensure his party habits don’t continue to rule his life.

Angela Hill is well-known for her volumetric striking record-breaking career in the UFC. She humorously added that managing Conor McGregor at such an event might require some extra help. “Who’s going to stop him? Like, you’re gonna have to hire Khabib [Nurmagomedov] to hang out with us. Like, that’s the only answer we need,” she joked, referencing McGregor’s infamous rivalry with former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

The US-born Hill suggested that fellow UFC fighter Dustin Poirier might also be called upon to keep McGregor in check, saying, “We just need you to hang out with Conor. He is having a party; it’s really important. He can’t get into trouble—just be a bodyguard, be a buddy, be a wingman, and stop him from doing bad stuff. I think the answer.”

While Angela Hill’s comments were made in jest, they stress Conor McGregor’s reputation for his wild partying lifestyle. The Irish fighter has been known to stir controversy both inside and outside the Octagon, with his recent legal troubles and highly publicized lifestyle often making headlines. Last year, he continued to pop up at various bars in the USA night after night to serve drinks. He’s also been involved with pub fights in Ireland.

Conor McGregor’s controversial career took a major turn in 2024 after a civil jury found him liable for assault and ordered him to pay damages in a high-profile case. This case confirmed his drug use habits are true. This, along with his public persona and party habits, has raised doubts about his future in MMA. As of now, McGregor’s fighting career remains uncertain after his last fight in 2021, and a planned return in 2024 was canceled due to injury.

Angela Hill continues to compete at the top of the UFC’s strawweight division and will be fighting Ketlen Souza on February 15, 2025, at a UFC Fight Night, with hopes of adding another win to her impressive record. McGregor, on the other hand, remains one of the sport’s most talked-about figures, with his party lifestyle continuing to make waves.

“Bodacious Cheeks!” – UFC Veteran Angela Hill Dishes Praise on This Fighter’s Assets

Vitor Petrino may not have gotten the win at UFC Tampa, but he earned himself a new fan in strawweight standout Angela Hill.

Coming off a first-round submission loss against Anthony ‘Lionheart’ Smith in May, Petrino was determined to close out his 2024 with a bang and climb back into the win column. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be after Dustin Jacoby blasted him with an earth-shattering right hook that sent him crashing to the canvas with little more than a minute to go in their fight.

Angela Hill appreciates Petrino’s ‘Jiggle Physics’

While Petrino may have suffered one of the more brutal knockouts on the night, ‘Overkill’ couldn’t help but show her appreciation for the Brazilian’s gluteus maximus.

“But I just wanted to mention, Petrino’s booty is bodacious,” Hill said on her 2 Straws podcast with Jessica Penne. “Oh, what is that guy eating? What am I missing out on? Damn, girl. Girl, I am a fan of a booty, okay?

“This is another video game reference. Remember when they first started adding, um, just like the jiggle of different body parts in fighting games? And like the volleyball game and stuff? He had jiggle physics going crazy on his butt cheeks.”

After amassing an 11-0 record in mixed martial arts, Petrino is now sitting on back-to-back losses inside the Octagon. On the bright side, he’s got himself a pretty big fan in Hill — even if she just likes him for his derrière donut.

Was Colby Covington Ever Great? UFC Veterans Debate the Legacy of ‘Chaos’

Was Colby Covington ever really that great?

The three-time title challenger returned to the Octagon on Saturday night in Tampa for a short-notice scrap against streaking standout Joaquin Buckley.

Things turned disastrous for ‘Chaos’ early after Buckley landed a shot that cut open Covington’s right eyelid. The fight was ultimately called off due to a doctor’s stoppage in the waning seconds of the third round, much to the chagrin of both Buckley and Covington who wanted to keep going.

The loss was an especially bad one for Covington who fell to 2-6 in his last eight fights and will likely find himself barely clinging onto a spot in the welterweight top 10 once the rankings are updated.

Following the UFC Tampa headliner, MMA veterans Angela ‘Overkill’ Hill and Jessica Penne offered their take on Covington’s performance and whether or not the staunch Trump supporter was ever truly that good inside the Octagon.

“Is he great, or is he the guy that almost got fired and sold his soul for paychecks? I think he’s a great fighter, yeah,” Hill said on their 2 Straws podcast. “And I think we get distracted by the shtick, by the persona that he’s created. We really get distracted by it and forget that he’s a really good fighter.”

Penne and Hill think Colby Covington deserves respect

Penne echoed a similar sentiment in her assessment of Covington’s skills.

“He is a tough fight. Now, he took this fight on short notice against Buckley, who is in his prime and on the rise,” Penne said. “I think we just kind of forget. But Colby is really talented.”

“His rise to the top, his fights against Usman—they were very competitive,” Hill added. “He had Usman on queer street a couple of times in those fights. Even in the Edwards fight, he didn’t really show up for that one, but he went hard in the fifth round and showed what he could do. It just might have been a mental flop. So, he’s definitely someone who is to be respected.“

Tabatha Ricci defeats Angela Hill in energetic co-main event – UFC Vegas 96 Highlights

Tabatha Ricci secured her spot in the strawweight top 10 with an impressive performance against Angela Hill in the UFC Vegas 96 co-main event on Saturday night.

Ricci came out aggressive from the opening bell, pushing the pace and looking to land on ‘Overkill’ early. Hill struggled to get anything going in the opening round as Ricci kept her on her back foot.

15 seconds into the second round, Ricci secured a quick takedown and dropped a couple of hammer fists before getting into Hill’s guard. Second-guessing her decision, Ricci retreated and forced Hill back to her feet. Things were fairly even on the feet with Hill outstriking Ricci by a slim margin.

Perhaps sensing how close things were in the second, Ricci scored a late-round takedown. However, Hill was able to pop back up and pepper ‘Baby Shark’ with a few solid strikes just before the horn.

Ricci once again went for an early takedown, but Hill was able to sprawl and turn it into a takedown attempt of her own. Ricci responded by kicking Hill straight off her and getting back to her feet. Potentially down two rounds, Hill began to turn up the heat, but Ricci’s work in the clinch did a good job of stifling her offense at times.

After trading blows up until the final bell, we went to the judge’s scorecards to determine our winner.
