ladies

Las Vegas - Date night with the Ladies this Saturday in Jacksonville, and we have Claudia 'Claudinha' Gadelha vs. Angela 'Overkill' Hill. Now THAT'S a nickname! Gadelha is the favorite at -$185 (bet $185 to win back $100), with Hill the underdog at +$165 (bet $100 to win back $165).

Back to the Octagon, and looking at the Tale of the you know what, starting with 'Claudinha' who is 31 years old from Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, but now lives in Vegas. Actually saw her run past my house the other day, and I can tell you, this lady in IN shape and ready to RUMBLE. I yelled to her and asked if she wouldn't mind me posting her weight in the column. Some ladies do not like to broadcast their weight. Gadelha just smiled and said, "tell 'em I'm a buck 15 and ripped!" She's a buck 15 and ripped. She is 5'4" and has a 63.0" reach. Her MMA record is 17-4, with 2 wins coming by KO, 8 by decision and 7 by submission. Gadelha's early career was OFF the charts, opening up with a 12-0 run. Since that point, the competition has become tougher, and she is just 5-4 since the end of 2014.

'Overkill' is 33 years old from Prince George's County, Maryland, tips the scale at a buck 15, is 5'3" and has a 64" reach. Her MMA record is 12-7, with 5 wins coming by KO and 7 by decision. Angela has been a BUSY lady with six fights since 2019, and two already this year. She rolls in with a sweet three match perfecto and could be a live underdog. And if things don't go well, 'Overkill' can always pull out her bachelor of fine arts degree from the Cooper Union School of Art, and quickly find work as an animator.

Some stats for you to chew on that might help you handicap this match. Gadelha lands an average of 3.15 and absorbs an average of 4.38 significant strikes per minute. Hill lands an average of 5.97 and absorbs an average of 5.28 strikes per minute. Gadelha averages 3.34 takedowns landed per 15 minutes, while Hill averages 0.46 takedowns per 15.
