Casey (7-6) has dropped two fights in a row, however both were competitive decision losses to Michelle Waterson and Felice Herrig.
Hill (8-4) will look to ride the momentum off of her February win over Maryna Moroz, while Grasso will have to wait to rebound from a submission loss to Tatiana Suarez in May.
UFC Fight Night 135 takes place in Lincoln, Nebraska, and will be headlined by a lightweight contest between Justin Gaethje and James Vick.
