After officials nixed her idea to rep Marvel comic Black Panther for a face-off at The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale, she is hopeful she’ll get to show her nerdy side in future fights. “It would be nice if they could lax on it a little bit so the fighters could try to build some hype for it,” Hill (7-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC) told MMAjunkie backstage after outpointing Ashley Yoder (5-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC) Friday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. “I feel like doing something interesting like that is going to reach more people than just trying to mean mug and push your opponent and hit them before you’re actually fighting the next day. Or at least different fans from that.” According to Hill, UFC officials were antsy before the ceremonial weigh-ins on Thursday afternoon, asking if she’d be wearing a costume. Hill had done so in her previous bout against Jessica Andrade, tickling fans with a spot-on rendition of the “Street Fighter” video game character Sagat.
