Mixed martial arts career

Early career

The Ultimate Fighter

In June 2014, it was announced that Hill was one of the fighters selected by the UFC to appear on The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned. She faced Carla Esparza in the preliminary round and lost via submission in the first round.[10]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Hill's first fight after The Ultimate Fighter was against Emily Kagan at The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned Finale on December 12, 2014.[11] Tecia Torres fought at UFC 188 and defeated Hill.[12]

Hill faced Rose Namajunas at UFC 192 on October 3, 2015. She lost the fight by submission in the first round. She was subsequently released from the promotion.[13]

Invicta FC
