The Ultimate Fighting Championship is bringing its another fight night event live from UFC Apex Facility, in Enterprise, Nevada, Las Vegas, USA on May 18, 224. The event is stacked with exciting bouts across weight divisions in both and is scheduled to be headlined by Edson Barboza and Lerone Murphy in a featherweight showdown. Luana Pinheiro and Angela are also scheduled to lock horns with each other on the main card of the event in a women’s strawweight clash.
Luana Pinheiro is a prominent face in women’s professional mixed martial arts scene. She made her professional mixed martial arts debut on October 9, 2016, against Thatiane Araujo at BH Sparta 9. She defeated Araujo by a unanimous decision and took off with a winning start as a professional. Pinheiro competed in multiple fight promotions before making her way into the leading professional mixed martial arts promotion, the UFC.
On November 10, 2020, Luana Pinheiro faced Stephanie Frausto at Dana White’s Contender Series 35. She made quick work of Frausto and finished her in the first round via a TKO to win the fight and earn herself a contract with the UFC. She made her promotional debut for the organization on May 1, 2021, against Randa Markos at UFC on ESPN: Reyes vs. Prochazka. The bout ended in Pinheiro getting adjudged the winner by DQ after Markos delivered an illegal up-kick to Pinheiro.
Laura Pinheiro’s rival for the upcoming bout is an experienced professional mixed martial artist Angela Hill. She made her professional mixed martial arts debut on April 26, 2014, against Stephanie Skinner at USFFC 18: Metal and Mayhem. Hill defeated Skinner by a second-round TKO to start her professional career with a dominant victory. She made her promotional debut in the UFC on June 12, 2015, at UFC 185 against Tecia Torres where she lost by a unanimous decision.
Angela Hill suffered initial losses which led to her release from the UFC. She fought in the Invicta FC after her release from the global professional mixed martial arts giant and reigned as its women’s strawweight champion. Hill made a return to the UFC in 2017 and has been a regular competitor in the promotion. Both Angela Hill and Luana Pinheiro will eye a dominant win in their upcoming fight in order to progress forward in their division.
