[Applause] tonight swing and a miss by Hill relax relax keep your hands up nice body shot hit that straight right hand but she misses oh my goodness what a kick now she misses with the left punch there oh another massive kick she missed with that jab straight right is there oh how about it huge kick landed well in the men's game or in the women's game the execution on a double Leg Takedown doesn't get a whole lot better than that it does not get much better than what we just saw her confidence in finishing the shot is UNM nice positional control here just got to be careful here oh nice all right full guard here if you're the bottom fighter trying to prevent the half guard I would assume yes absolutely trying to keep her in full guard throw up some submissions to get back to your feet and there you go again half guard free and relax oh beautiful job by her to reverse position on the ground and now she's in a spot to maybe finish this one yeah she did a really good job of reversing the position and going right on the offense to gain her dominant position that's a very high fight IQ oh how good's that leg kick oh there's another knee her knees have been on point really from the moment this fight began she has landed several in this round and now you can see she is really starting to rack up the damage oh nice nice press forward get that take down the big double leg level team making all these shots count way to kick her off and try to get some space to get up just out of range with that right hook let's go you can do this 15 seconds oh nice punishing kick to the [Applause] body Rec relax she won that last round we have to avoid her ground this round let keep the fight on all right so we now look back at some of the action from that previous round DC a lot of good highlights on both sides I mean a lot of good highlights from both competitors they both should be very proud of what they accomplished but I'm telling you man I'm not sure they can keep this up if they land at this clip for another 5 minutes somebody's going to [Applause] sleep you ready to fight ready second round here all right here we go with our next round previous round both Fighters had their moments we'll see who takes the upper hand both had what a strike by her there I'd be knocked out her opponent still she's got to get out to the center of the Octagon find some space so that she can evade her opponent from finishing went for the inside leg kick everything working off of her jab able to land body there with the left kick there you look at the inside leg kick she drows her opponent now maybe the beginning of the end champ she hurt her very badly with that big leg kick oh that was a really nice take down well she's on bottom but defensively avoiding a lot of these head shot oh perfect execution on the low kick what's under 3 minutes now to go in the round well she has certainly picked up oh can't take pictures now she has to rect she has to go chase the Finish back to the feet now all right half guard position for her here and this is a spot where we've seen her have a lot of wild success in previous fights she has a tremendous amount of success from this position because she's so knowledgeable she keeps the right side underhook and she just goes to work with that left left arm she's posting and elbow she's building her posture and punching there are just so many different ways for her to score strikes from this position nice kick to the midsection oh big elbow all right so her calf now starting to show some real signs of bruising DC and that only works because her lead leg is there probably her best strike of the fight her best strike and you don't see this type of power normally in this weight class but she lands and she lands very oh tried to land the punch but a swing in a Miss by Angela Hill all right so she continues to attack the body to great effect actually there it is again look at that 20 seconds to go round two oh left well she's going head hunting but it's working great combination all right that's the end of the round and the fighter has a cut on her nose so that is something that certainly Bears watching moving forward cut man racing in there he'll try to seal that cut she doesn't seem too bothered by it but certainly something something we'll keep an eye on here moving forward all right she is all smiles as she makes her way back to the stool DC a lot of good action there in the previous round particularly that head kick knockdown talk us through she's a really good Striker she does everything so technically on her feet so you knew when you watching her land so many strikes low eventually she would go high and she did and got that big knockdown that really did determine this [Applause] round ready F ready third round underway Hill strike attempt there is blocked man she is just breaking her down with volume tonight as she lands another combination I mean over and over she is just Landing so many different attacks it's amazing to watch someone never throw Le oh she's hurt beautiful diving strike land we might get a stoppage here stop anywhere holy you got to be kidding me you got to be kidding me so how about this result tonight she told us in the fighter meeting I got to get a finish here tonight she absolutely kept the judges out of it that is her signature win and this crowd
