The best and worst from UFC 265: Derrick Lewis vs Ciryl Gane

#4 Worst - Where does Angela Hill go from here?

UFC 265: Torres v Hill

Around six years after their initial meeting, Tecia Torres and Angela Hill crossed paths in the UFC octagon once again. And while the rematch wasn't as dull as the first fight, it certainly didn't live up to expectations.

Torres picked up a big win that will go a long way in solidifying her position as a real contender, but Hill has a lot of questions to answer. 'Overkill' was comprehensively outclassed in every striking exchange as Torres made it a point to prove that she doesn't need to keep the fight standing to dominate.

Hill has now lost three of her last four fights and isn't exactly a fan favorite either. She is among the most active fighters on the current UFC roster, but has only two wins by finish in 17 fights since May 2016 (one of which was a doctor stoppage).

At 36, Hill doesn't have much time left at the top level. And a major opportunity to impress went abegging at UFC 265, especially after all she had to say in the pre-show press conference.

#3 - Best - 'The Silent Assassin' lives up to his nickname

UFC 265: Chiesa v Luque

Vicente Luque is a real problem in the UFC's welterweight division. 'The Silent Assassin' has lost only to Leon Edwards and Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson since December 2015, with wins over Tyron Woodley, Niko Price (twice), Mike Perry, Belal Muhammad and now Michael Chiesa.

The interesting clash of styles Chiesa vs Luque promised didn't disappoint at UFC 265. 'Maverick' was understandably eager to take the fight to the canvas and had Luque in all sorts of trouble for the first three minutes of the opening stanza. But the Brazilian, a jiu-jitsu black belt who simply prefers to strike, hung on.

Eventually, a split-second gap in the scramble opened up for Luque to sink in a trademark D'Arce choke, handing Chiesa his fourth submission loss in the UFC. It was the briefest opportunity for Luque to capitalize on, and he immediately did - in silent and deadly fashion - to thrust himself into the welterweight title conversation.

Oh my god. Luque taps Chiesa!
