Jingnan Xiong Debuts Against Angela Hill at UFC Macau
angela hill gets Jingnan Xiong on Saturday at UFC Macau, and the matchup comes with a clear edge in experience inside the Octagon. Hill, 41, is 18-16 as a pro and 13-16 in the UFC, while Xiong arrives for her debut with a 19-2 record and a long run at the top of another major promotion.
DraftKings opened Xiong as a -198 favorite, with Hill at +164 and the total set at 2.5 rounds. Those numbers reflect a fight built on distance striking, not a quick finish, even if Hill has only six stoppage wins in her 18 professional victories and one finish in the last six years.
Hill’s UFC Track Record
Hill enters off a loss to Fatima Kline in November, a unanimous decision that extended her recent skid to three defeats in her last four bouts. She has spent years at 115 pounds and has built a style that keeps her in long fights, but the record still shows the grind: 13-16 inside the Octagon and 18-16 overall.
The UFC side of that ledger has been uneven for a fighter who has stayed active at strawweight for well over a decade. Hill has recorded one finish in the last six years, and that scarcity of stoppages pushes her into more scored rounds than quick endings.
Xiong’s ONE Championship Run
Xiong makes the leap to the UFC after going 11-1 inside the Circle in ONE Championship and defending her strawweight title seven times. She also closed her previous run with a decision over Meng Bo in March 2025, keeping the momentum from a résumé that includes 10 knockout victories and multiple five-round tests.
That background explains why the debut carries weight beyond a standard newcomer appearance. Xiong is not entering with a shallow record or a short fight history; she is stepping in after years at the top level, including four straight decisions from 2020 to 2022 and a title run built on repeated defenses.
UFC Macau Strawweight Test
The matchup puts a 38-year-old debutant against a 41-year-old UFC veteran who has hung around the division long enough to become one of its most familiar names. Hill’s experience in the UFC is the anchor on one side, while Xiong’s 19-2 record and championship résumé bring the sharper recent edge.
For Hill, the task is to slow a fighter entering with market support and a polished body of work from another promotion. For Xiong, it is a chance to make the first UFC appearance count immediately and turn a favored line into an opening win at strawweight.
