Hill on the fight’s key moment

“I always say the mental battle is the hardest for me. I can work hard all day. I’m not a slacker. I’ve never missed a wrestling class. The problem with me is that if I mess up, I begin doubting myself and hesitate. If I get a short-notice fight, the less time I have to think about all that stuff. If I just train to train, and train to get better, I’m not worried about what someone else is going to do to me.”

Hill on her first UFC winning streak

“(It) feels amazing. I hate losing, so this is great. It’s great to get two finishes in a row, as well. I feel reborn. I feel like a different fighter going in there ready to kill instead of worrying about losing or if my reputation is going to get worse. I put all of that behind me and just focus on being the killer that I know I can be.”

Hill on what she wants next

“I’m technically always in fight camp, so getting a fight on 10 days’ notice doesn’t matter. I’ll be prepared. Now, it’s more about what I do well instead of what they are bringing to the table. I listen to my coaches, do what I’m told and go in there and get the job done.”
