Angela Hill receives USADA exemption to face Jessica Andrade:

Aussie Invicta FC Strawweight champion Angela Hill, has been granted an exemption from the United States Anti-Doping Agency, to return to the UFC to face fellow Strawweight Jessica Andrade at UFC Fight Night Houston on Super Bowl weekend in February. Hill, who tasted defeat only twice in the UFC, against Tecia Torres and Rose Namajunas, decided to try her hand, or hands, in the Invicta FC organisation. Hill, claimed the Strawweight crown against Livia Renata Souza, before defending the title against Kaline Medeiros back in later November. Hill was expected to face Andrade at UFC 207, but was forced from the bout due to her absence from the USADA testing pool, but since then, she has been granted an exemption. Andrade on the other hand, has established herself as one of the most devastating female strikers since her move to the more comfortable Strawweight limit, knocking out Jessica Penne and submitting Joanne Calderwood via a nasty guillotine. At just 25 years of age, Andrade certainly has a gleaming future ahead of her, and a win for 'Bate Estaca' may warrant her a crack at Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the Strawweight crown. Likewise Hill, would soldify her UFC credentials with a win over the highly feared Andrade, as she looks to become a multiple organisation champion.
