The 31-year-old Brazilian has gone 6-0 since becoming a member of the UFC ranks in April of 2022.

Hill (17-13 MMA) will enter the competition sporting a two-fight successful streak, her most up-to-date being a submission victory over Luana Pinheiro this previous Might at UFC Vegas 92. ‘Overkill’ has gone 4-1 over previous 5 Octagon appearances total.
