Jingnan Xiong, a former dominant ONE Championship Strawweight World Champion with a 19-2 record, brings formidable power striking and championship-level experience to her UFC debut. She has 11 wins by knockout, showcasing her ability to finish opponents. Angela Hill, a seasoned UFC veteran, is known for her high-volume striking, fast pace, and exceptional durability, but her recent record is inconsistent with two losses in 2025 and she is 41 years old.
