Angela Hill vs Shanelle Dyer Set for UFC 335 on December 12

Angela Hill and Shanelle Dyer have been matched in a women's strawweight bout for UFC 335 on December 12, a fresh addition to the card.

Hill, 41, enters the fight at 18-16-0 and holds the number 14 spot in the women's strawweight rankings. The American from Alliance MMA is coming off a unanimous decision win over Xiong Jingnan on May 30, her most recent recorded fight. That result followed back-to-back unanimous decision losses to Fatima Kline in November 2025 and Iasmin Lucindo in August 2025. Hill lands 5.43 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy, and averages 0.78 takedowns per 15 minutes.

Dyer, 25, is 8-1-0 and is riding a pair of stoppages. She knocked out Elise Reed in the third round on August 22, and before that finished Ravena Oliveira by TKO in the second round on March 21. The Nightmare throws at a heavy pace, landing 9.1 significant strikes per minute at 52 percent accuracy. She averages 0.91 takedowns per 15 minutes and has no recorded submission attempts.

Why it matters

• Volume gap: Dyer's 9.1 significant strikes per minute is 3.67 more than Hill's 5.43, while their accuracy sits within two percentage points of each other.
• Age and size: Dyer is 16 years younger than Hill, and holds a three-inch height edge (168 cm to 160 cm) and a two-centimetre reach advantage (165 cm to 163 cm).
• Experience versus momentum: Hill has 34 recorded fights and a ranking to defend, while Dyer's last two wins both came by knockout.
• Ranking stakes: Hill is ranked 14th, so a win over a rising opponent with two straight stoppages would carry weight on both sides of the matchup.

UFC 335 is scheduled for December 12, and further additions to the card have yet to be reported.
