Angela Hill finally has a submission victory on her professional record, but that wasn’t all.

Hill (17-13 MMA, 12-13 UFC), a UFC strawweight veteran, put a nice feather in her cap at UFC FN 241 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, while also securing the most wins in the division’s history by tapping Luana Pinheiro at 4:12 of Round 2.

Hill performed well in Round 1 behind her well-known striking game, ending the round in dominant position on the mat. In the second round, Hill continued her aggressive offense, and saw an opening to jump on a guillotine attempt, wrapping up Pinheiro (11-3 MMA, 3-2UFC). Hill stuck with it, eventually rolling over into a mounted guillotine, forcing the tap.

Hill’s finish gave her the most wins in UFC strawweight history with 11. It’s now two straight for “Overkill,” who entered on the heels of a unanimous decision win over Denise Gomes in November.

During her post-fight interview, Hill called for a female BMF title fight in a rematch with Jessica Andrade, to avenge a loss from 2017 that snapped a four-fight winning streak.
