Hill sits as a (-280) favorite as of the start of fight week, and oddsmakers don't expect this matchup to see the final bell, as the fight is (-300) to not go the distance.

Top prospect stops OSP
Hill defeated Ovince Saint Preux via TKO (punches) at 3:37 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 19 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a standout performance from Hill and one in which he displayed his high fight IQ, in additional to his offensive abilities. Blessed with a significant speed and power edge over OSP, Hill remained content to pick his spots and not force things until the openings presented themselves. He was outpointing Saint Preux over the course of the first round and a half, but things didn't really open up for Hill until late in Round 2. He trapped OSP along the fence and unloaded with countless unanswered strikes that forced referee Jason Herzog to step in. There's room for immediate advancement at 205 pounds, and the 29-year-old Hill has quickly proven to be one of division's better prospects as we head into 2021.
