UFC Vegas 73: Mackenzie Dern vs Angela Hill- Preview, Prediction and Odds
In MMA, Dern’s defeats always came after the final horn. Additionally, two of those defeats were in five-round contests. Because Angela Hill is aware of this, you can be assured that her goal is to make this a protracted contest.
Fortunately for her, she has the endurance required to watch Dern for the full 25 minutes. The fact that 20 of Hill’s 27 professional MMA matches went the distance serves as proof of this. This includes all nine of her most recent UFC contests.
Although Hill has incredible endurance, she still has one distinct advantage over Dern. One of the highest rates in women’s MMA, “Overkill” averages 5.68 significant strikes per minute. She throws a tonne of punches and kicks, but they’re usually not very strong. She has five knockdown or technically knockout victories in her record, despite this.
The anticipation around Mackenzie Dern’s entry into the UFC has not materialized.
However, she is expected to return to winning ways in this match thanks to her superior ground game.
