I hate these odds. I get that Fatima is coming off an impressive win, but what is being lost in the shadow of the head kick were her trash ass takedown attempts. Sure she has 2 UFC wins, but both of those women have since been cut. Angela Hill at 40 is better than every single person Fatima beat. I really want to pick Fatima here because it just feels wrong to say Angela's name, but I don't see how she does it. Her garbage takedowns won't be good enough and even though her striking is solid, Angela's is also very high level so I doubt we get another flash KO. I'm going to pick Angela here but because I am a coward, the bet is likely +3.5.

Angela Hill

Angela Hill is a high IQ veteran fighter. She is mostly a striker with speed, volume and lots of versatility, but not much power. She is a talented fighter who has become the gate keeper of the weight class. She is good everywhere but not a threat. Her path to victory in this and every other fight is to stick and move, avoid power, avoid takedowns and exploit rookie mistakes. She is coming off the decision loss to Iasmin Lucindo where she was probably the better fighter but relentless pressure from a 23 year old was an issue.

Fatima Kline

Fatima Kline is a pressure grappler who is very dangerous on the ground. She has a very loose striking striking style where she bounces on her toes and plots forward. When distance is closed, she fires a right hand and shoots the takedown. On the ground she immediately starts working with strikes and the second you cover up, she tries to sneak in a submission. She has plenty of cardio, big takedowns and now, solid power. She is coming off the monster head kick KO win over Melissa Martinez
