6 burning questions heading into UFC on ESPN+ 24

MMA Junkie senior editor Dave Doyle walks you through the key questions that could be answered at UFC Raleigh.

Is Angela Hill about to break through?

You’ve long known [autotag]Angela Hill[/autotag] as one of the most entertaining social media personas in MMA, but now she’s on the precipice of serious title contention at strawweight.

The former Invicta FC champion has won two out of her past three fights. The only one she lost in that span was a decision to Yan Xiaonang at UFC 238, but that one was taken on short notice and her second of three in a row, which has proven her eagerness to stay active and continue improving. 

Would a win over Hannah Cifers (10-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) announce Hill (10-7 MMA, 5-7 UFC) as being on the same level as Zhang Weili or Rose Namajunas? No, but for a fighter who has won her fair share and been competitive in nearly all her losses, back-to-back wins and three of four would announce she’s finally gotten over the hump.
