UFC star Angela Hill had her head in her hands for a second successive day after another crushing defeat saw her make unwanted history.
The 40-year-old officially became the female fighter with the most losses in the promotion’s history after losing to Iasmin Lucindo.
Hill, who was ranked 12th in the UFC women’s strawweight rankings coming into Vegas 109, is one of the longest-tenured on the roster.
The 28-fight UFC veteran was coming in off a win over Ketlen Souza in February against Brazil’s Lucindo this Saturday.
Hill went the full 15-minute three-round distance for a third successive contest, but the judges’ scorecards didn’t go her way.
She lost by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28), with her 15 losses in UFC competition the most of any female in company history.
Her defeat came just four fights after 22-year-old Elijah Smith knocked out Toshiomi Kazama with a wild powerbomb at UFC Vegas 109.
Hill, who has suffered 13 of her 15 career losses by decision, has also entered the top five UFC fighters with the most defeats overall.
Her unlucky number 15 ties ‘Overkill’ with Michael Johnson for the most UFC defeats by a veteran from ‘The Ultimate Fighter’.
To add insult to injury, Hill was already left embarrassed by an incident at her weigh-in after an official dropped her bra inserts.
The former animator and bartender had removed the inserts before weighing in at 116 pounds as she stepped on the scales on Friday.
However, Hill was left with her head in her hands when a bemused official attempted to put the inserts on top of the scale podium – only to see one of them fall off and roll onto the floor.
Most Losses in UFC history
UFC fan reactions
The awkward exchange saw Hill trying to hold back a fit of laughter, with her endearing reaction earning plenty of plaudits online.
One fan wrote on X: “She was dope for doing that, scored points with me on personality.”
Another added: “She handled that with as much class as could be possible in that situation. I am now a big fan.”
A third added: “I love these girls so sweet and kind. In the cage. Savage. End of match back to sweet and kind.”
Hill was equally as gracious the following night after Lucindo, the youngest female fighter on the roster, had her hand raised.
The 23-year-old, who was born when Hill turned 17, revealed in the build-up that she was baffled by the age discrepancy.
“That’s crazy,” Lucindo told MMA Fighting with a laugh. “I won’t lie to you, it’s very crazy. It’s something that makes me go like, ‘My God, she’s almost my mother’s age.’ My mother is 43,
“But I respect Angela a lot. Before I was in the UFC, before I was fighting, she was already fighting, she was already building her story.
“I’ve watched Angela fight many times before I was in the UFC, and I know the athlete she is and the story she has built.
“I’m very happy. Imagine watching someone and then you’re fighting her. That’s a great accomplishment.”
