Two top 15 Women’s Strawweight contenders, No. 8 Iasmin Lucindo and No. 12 Angela Hill, will headline this week’s UFC Fight Night. Lucindo has won four of her last five contests while Hill has won three of four. UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Zhang Weili needs challengers, and a victory could go a long way for both Lucindo and Hill.
Here is my best bet for Lucindo vs. Hill at tonight’s UFC Fight Night.
Angela Hill Moneyline (+170)
Hill will make her 26th walk in the UFC as she has been with the promotion since 2017. In this matchup, Hill is the much more experienced fighter as Lucindo is only 23 years old. Hill is a +170 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Lucindo is the -198 favorite.
Hill excels on the feet and must do a good job of stopping Lucindo’s takedowns to find success in this contest. Good news for Hill. She has a 75 percent takedown rate while being the more advanced fighter on the feet. That combination should equal success for Hill come Saturday night.
Hill lost three straight fights from 2021 to 2022, but since then, she has gone 5-2 in her previous seven bouts. Lucindo has the same record in her last seven fights as well. If Hill is aggressive in this contest, she has the ability to pull off the upset.
