UFC strawweight Angela Hill wants Cortney Casey or Cynthia Calvillo for next fight

Fresh off her first UFC win, Angela Hill has a hit list for her next fight.

Hill (7-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) would really like to mix it up with Joanne Calderwood (11-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC), whom she felt got too much credit for her striking skills during their time on “The Ultimate Fighter 20.” The only problem is that Calderwood is likely moving up to the newly opened flyweight division.

Then there’s Cortney Casey (7-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC), who recently outpointed Jessica Aguilar at UFC 211 to bounce back from a decision loss to onetime title challenger Claudia Gadelha. Casey also won a victory outside the cage when the Texas athletic commission rightly walked back a drug suspension.

But maybe the biggest target is Cynthia Calvillo (6-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who appears to have the inside track in the women’s strawweight division. She recently extended her current winning streak to three with a decision over Calderwood. She was a guest fighter this past Saturday at UFC 214, a nod that usually indicates favor from the promotion.

Now, Hill just needs someone to step up.

“I’ve been calling out Calvillo because she’s been super active,” she said. “I’m not sure if she’s going to jump right back in there immediately, but that would be a good fight for me, too. So yeah, I have a couple people in mind.”

Whoever steps up, Hill is at least on the right side of the column as she moves on with her UFC career. After a false start on “TUF 20” and a gritty loss to onetime title challenger Jessica Andrade, she has a debut win to propel her forward.
