The strawweight pairing was announced during the UFC Fight Night 185 broadcast. UFC Fight Night 186 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a heavyweight clash between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Ciryl Gane. The card streams in its entirety on ESPN+.
Hill and Yoder initially squared off at “The Ultimate Fighter 25” finale in July 2017, with Hill winning a unanimous decision. “Overkill” enters the rematch on a tough-luck streak after dropping back-to-back split decisions against Claudia Gadelha and Michelle Waterson. Prior to that, Hill had won four of her previous five Octagon appearances.
Yoder, meanwhile, snapped a two-bout skid in her last outing, as she outpointed Miranda Granger at UFC Fight Night 182 this past November. The Team Quest product is 3-5 in the Las Vegas-based promotion and 8-6 as a professional overall.
