VIDEO: Daughter Of NBA Legend Grant Hill Chokes Out Opponent In MMA Fight

NBA legend Grant Hill has a daughter who knows a thing or two about MMA competition.

The daughter of seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill recently put her opponent to sleep with a choke.

Myla Hill has been blazing her own trail in the sports world. She is a Gracie jiu-jitsu trainee, who has garnered an amateur MMA record of 3-0. Hill, who fights out of The 6 Levels gym in Winter Gardens, Florida, recently shared the cage with Jakeya Keglar at All In Combat 2.

Hill thwarted Keglar's takedown attempts and was seeking a choke. She ultimately locked it in and put her opponent to sleep.

After the fight, Hill was given her Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt. It is the third straight submission finish for Hill in the amateur ranks. She's submitted Jenna Loza, Faith Sanders, and now Keglar.

Former UFC Women's Featherweight Champion and current Bellator Women's Featherweight Champion, Cris Cyborg, caught wind of Hill's performance. She has invited Hill to train at her gym in Los Angeles.

"Big win," Cyborg said. "Let me know if you make it to LA some time. I would love to invite you to Cris Cyborg Gym for some training!"

Hill expressed gratitude in response to Cyborg's invitation.

"Thank you," Hill said.

Time will tell just how far Hill will take things in terms of her MMA career. One thing's for sure, the 21-year-old has time on her side.
