A strawweight clash pitting Tabatha
Ricci against Angela Hill
has been booked for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Aug.
24.
Hill initially announced the bout on her ”2Straws”
podcast, and it was later confirmed by MMAjunkie.com. The UFC
Fight Night event is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in
Las Vegas and does not currently have a headliner.
Ricci has been victorious in five of her last six Octagon
appearances. Most recently, “Baby Shark” took a split decision
against Tecia
Pennington at UFC on ESPN 56 on May 11.
Hill, meanwhile, has won four of her last five outings in UFC
competition. The former Invicta FC champion is coming off a
second-round submission triumph against Luana
Pinheiro at UFC Fight Night 241 on May 18.
