Overview
- Xiong is scheduled to fight longtime UFC veteran Angela Hill on Saturday, May 30, at UFC Macau on the preliminary card.
- Xiong leaves ONE as its final strawweight champion after a long reign that included seven straight title defenses and a high finish rate.
- Betting markets list Xiong as the favorite, with DraftKings showing her around -218 and analysts predicting a likely decision and more than 2.5 rounds.
- The matchup is a classic striker‑versus‑striker test: Xiong brings a boxing and kickboxing base with roughly 10 KO/TKO wins while Hill offers veteran Muay Thai, evolving jiu‑jitsu, a No. 14 ranking, and recent losses on her record.
- Beyond one fight, the bout could reshape perceptions of how ONE champions fare in the UFC and affect the visibility and recruitment of Chinese fighters into the promotion.
