Only in Houston ♂️ where a crowd fight gets more attention from the audience than the actual fight lol #ufc265

Torres speed advantage over Hill is significant. Doesn’t need to throw wild spinning attacks. She’s making it a bit more difficult than it needs to be. She def won round 1, prob won round 2 but definitely needs round 3 to secure it here.
