How Tecia Torres wins the fight
“The Tiny Tornado” earned her nickname after proving to be a violent fighter who throws an array of strikes. She hit a rough patch in 2018 and 2019 after losing four straight in a two-year time span. However, she's found herself back in the win column and hopes to maintain her top ten ranking with a win over Angela Hill. It should be enough to prove she's ready to take on an opponent higher up the leader board.
Torres is more comfortable when keeping the fight standing, which will likely be her game plan. Even so, she has a height and reach disadvantage in this matchup, so look for Torres to mix it up in the clinch at UFC 265. Working inside and utilizing some dirty boxing will be the most effective strategy for Tecia Torres on Saturday night. If she can do that, it should be enough to outwork her opponent if it goes the distance.
How Angela Hill wins the fight
“Overkill” has had a roller coaster of a UFC career since joining the organization in 2017. With a 7-7 record since her UFC debut, Hill needs to string together some wins to keep her career alive. We'll see how it goes for her, as Torres is a tough opponent looking to climb the Strawweight rankings herself.
Angela Hill enters this fight with a height and reach advantage. Considering Torres also likes to keep the fight on the feet, this should fit into Hill's wheelhouse. “Overkill” should approach this one with patience. Using her jab and leg kicks to keep her opponent at bay will allow her to win over the judges. That is Hill's best bet to win this fight, as she has a subpar ground game.
Tecia Torres-Angela Hill prediction & pick
Torres comes into UFC 265 as the slight favorite, as she's currently ranked higher than Hill. This fight has the makings to provide some excitement, as neither woman should be looking for the takedown. This fight is likely to go to the judges, but Torres should be able to close the distance and follow through with her game plan throughout the fight.
