SAN DIEGO – Another Angela Hill bout, another close call. But things went her way this time at home.
Hill, who lives in San Diego, took part in a hard-fought battle against Loopy Godinez on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 41, where she emerged victorious by unanimous decision with scores of 29-28 from all three judges. The 120-pound contract weight bout closed out the UFC on ESPN 41 preliminary card.
The tone for how the ensuing 15 minutes would unfold was set within the opening minute after Godinez (8-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) landed a hard right hand that staggered Hill (14-12 MMA, 9-12 UFC) and had her in trouble. Godinez rushed in for the finish, but Hill held her own to keep the fight going. Not only that, Hill fought back hard and took the momentum by landing an array of strikes of her own that caused redness on Godinez’s face.
