Man, what a fucking fight by Tecia. She kept up an insane pace (while carrying a ton of muscle too!) and stung Hill at times. I enjoyed that fight more than I thought I would.
Also, did Hill seem a little off to anyone? Just looked slow and lumber-y.
Angela Hill passing Joanna for cage time despite not fighting many 5 rounders is not a flex

Put respect on @TeciaTorres name!! Made Hill look like nub!
— TThat_Guyy (@GuyyTthat) August 8, 2021
I’m excited to hear another Angela Hill interview where she says she needs to stop letting the judges decide it #UFC265
— Calf Kicker 3000 (@YooEffSea) August 8, 2021
Hill and her fans are somehow gonna find a way to call that a robbery ?#UFC265

Angela Hill acting like she won the fight after getting outclassed #UFC265 lmao she must be Caseys cousin pic.twitter.com/QDzz2q44QO

Angela Hill score card is 30-26 for herself. #UFC265
— ? Travis ? (@Ash1MMA) August 8, 2021
Angela Hill is gonna make an Instagram post on how she got robbed tomorrow #UFC265
— SharkStuh ? (@KillStuhDFS) August 8, 2021
Editor’s Note: Angela Hill did not, in fact, make any excuses for her loss. Here’s what the former Invicta champion had to say on Twitter the following day:
At least I’m still cute, thanks to everyone for all the kind words. I’m still in this game, did some good shit, just gotta keep grinding. pic.twitter.com/jilgn7g1D8

WHOOOOO!!!! Now that's some slick BJJ.

Vicente Luque just submitted Mike Chiesa via that pesky darce choke. Fending off some serious submission attempts by "The Maverick".
Man just moved himself up to the critical 5. #UFC265
Tyron Woodley and now Michael Chiesa, 2 amazing subs for Vicente Luque @VicenteLuqueMMA
— Andy (@acohen666) August 8, 2021
I am BUMMED for Chiesa…..He's really coming into his own and I think the best is yet to come for him…#UFC265 pic.twitter.com/yjLln4qx0Z

I’ll be the first to admit I thought a move to 135 for Aldo was a terrible idea but I will eat those words now #UFC265

Absolutely embarrassing from Lewis btw under 20 strikes all fight idk what he was waiting for gane is far too clever to just run into a right hand #UFC265

Gane is so boring ?? that’s why I Stan fighters like Derrick Lewis who land 3 strikes the whole fight and occasionally say something funny
— Chael (@Chaelgoat) August 8, 2021
Did Derrick Lewis land a strike besides a ball kick and a couple eye pokes? Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, Gane. #ufc265

Super athletic 247 lb (112 kg) man. Excellent fight IQ, always fight smart n stick to the gameplan. Just 3 years into his MMA career. Show extreme class after defeating a man in front of his hometown despite all the boos.
