#2 Angela Hill
Hill’s career skyrocketed after only having one professional mixed martial arts fight when she appeared on The Ultimate Fighter 20. She began her professional career in 2014 with Muay Thai as her staple martial art, but even though she was talented and a worthy prospect, she didn’t win the 115 crown on the show.
Hill did, however, end up being signed to the UFC where she had two losses in a row that later saw her being released from the promotion. That failure was, in essence, her most important return to notoriety, because she ended up climbing the ranks in women’s MMA’s most important promotion, Invicta FC.

It took Hill a mere two bouts to earn herself the promotion’s strawweight title. She made a mark not only on the WMMA circuit but also caught the eye of the UFC once again.
After successfully defending her title against Kaline Medeiros, Hill was re-signed with the UFC and suffered her first loss after four straight wins via unanimous decision to Jessica Andrade at UFC Houston.
