TUF Talk: Angela Hill happy she got to fight the No. 1 seed in her 2nd pro fight
When the cast list for The Ultimate Fighter was announced this season, one name in particular stood out because her record was 1-0 and she hadn't fought anybody of note before joining 15 of the top women's fighters in the world at 115-pounds.
Angela Hil was a deadly Muay Thai fighter with an undefeated record, but only one professional MMA bout on her resume and it immediately landed her behind the eight-ball as a massive underdog on the show.
Her reward for coming to The Ultimate Fighter with one win was a matchup against No. 1 seed Carla Esparza in the opening round. Hill came up short, but fought with a ton of heart and determination to give the former Invicta FC champion everything she could handle.
It's not as good as a win, but it's a good tone setter for the way Hill plans to enter the UFC and eventually climb into title contention.
"It's hard to see the positives other than I got a chance to go at the champ after my first fight. That was really cool. I honestly thought I could have done way better. It's hard to look at it objectively and not think I just totally f--ked up," Hill told TUF Talk.
"I feel like I'm the type of person that will not make it easy for you. I guess I'm just hoping that shows through and people will want to see me fight again."
To hear the rest of Hill's interview with TUF Talk including her art career before turning to fighting and a Disney sing-a-long that happened in the house, listen to the latest episode below via Soundcloud.
