15-12, not entertaining, how did she land a main event spot? I get it they still backing Dern, but still, this is not ME worthy.

Hill is like a Strickland or a Cowboy in that she will fight anyone in her weight class at any time. she's stepped in and saved fights/events before. i think that created some good will with the UFC and now she gets rewarded with main events.
Dern better get this on the ground or else Hill will light her up. Hill is a far better striker and a decent anti-wrestler.

The most anticipated fight in the last decade imho. When two monsters collide.

let's hope the Nevada State Commission doesnt ban the main event for unhinged levels of violence. its a throwback to the NHB era

Yeah, its like she lacks killer instinct or power, or both, she always ends up in this close decision fights where she loses most often than not despite looking like she has some skills in regards to the rest of the division.

dont like taking from better cards but for Apex shows this is exactly what it should be. There are tiers to UFC events and sooner people get with that the better off you'll be. PPV, arena fight nights, Apex cards and then contender series. Apex cards shouldnt waste a big great main event, it should be fights like that and then its filler and maybe some prospects.

If you've got a main event that's so bad you need to put it in a closed arena, maybe don't bother with that main event?

Have it as a co-main on a Fight Night card.

I'd like to see Angela vs Karolina Kowalkiewitz.
How do you guys think that would go?

Dern's discussion of her own fight I.Q. issues was unxpectedly candid.

Wow, it sounds like she's actually trying to ditch the fake accent.

If KK wins and Hill loses this weekend that might just happen

 

[Brandino]

Lol at her ditching the fake accent and people knowing her mainly for the fake accent.

Also I had to chuckle at Angela Hill being upset about her place in the rankings being low, despite her 3 - 5 record in her last eight fights.

And who do you think would win?

I hate to say it, but I think Hill would outpoint Karolina. I'm a huge KK fan so I love the little resurgence she currently has. I'd be so happy if she beats Vanessa Demopoulos tomorrow night.

 

[HHJ]

I'm actually looking forward to this fight. I hope Hill can stay upright for a bit to make it interesting. Dern's striking keeps improving and she can definitley hit.
