All three judges scored the fight 30-27 for Hill, giving the American a clean sweep on the cards. The result moved Hillâs professional record to 19-16, while Xiong dropped to 19-3 after her UFC debut ended in defeat.
The bout took place on May 30, 2026, at UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Figueiredo in Macau, with the Galaxy Arena staging one of the more closely followed strawweight matchups on the card.

Hill, known as âOverkillâ, was listed as a slight underdog at +150. Xiong, known as âThe Pandaâ, entered as a slight favorite at -180. Those odds made Hillâs control across the full 15 minutes even more notable, especially against a debutant with Xiongâs championship-level background.
Hillâs experience controls the fight

Xiong looked to close distance and build rhythm, but Hill managed range well and landed the cleaner work over three rounds. The fight never became the kind of power-driven contest Xiong would have wanted. Instead, Hill dictated the tempo, disrupted entries and made the bout unfold on her terms.

Xiong Jingnanâs UFC debut ends in defeat
Xiong entered the UFC with significant attention around her debut. She was not treated like a typical newcomer. Her record, power and reputation made the fight one of the more intriguing womenâs bouts on the Macau card.
But Hill showed the value of long-term UFC experience. She remained composed under pressure, avoided extended exchanges and gave Xiong few openings to shift the momentum. Xiong remained competitive, but she never found the sustained success needed to take a round on the judgesâ cards.
The result leaves Xiong with work to do as she adjusts to the pace, spacing and depth of the UFC strawweight division. Her wider rĂŠsumĂŠ remains strong, but her first UFC appearance showed the challenge of stepping straight into the Octagon against a seasoned opponent.
For Hill, the win adds another meaningful result to a long UFC career. A clean 30-27 decision over a respected newcomer strengthens her position in the strawweight picture and reinforces her reputation as one of the divisionâs most durable and technically disciplined veterans.
