Joe Rogan Experience #10092 — Angela Hill Transcript

0:00 Two. Yeah. He gets crazy. It's actually kind of like those connecting joints where it's kind of like a big ball that goes in. I feel like people think they have a better grip than they do. The way you wear your top can have a big impact if you're a grappler. This is like a fight fight because things get tangled up and stuff, especially if the shirt isn't super tight.

2:30 women's mma is the only place where you can make a choice to be stickier right if you're a grappler Because you're, you know, basically in your underwear almost. So I'd always get to fight the popular girls because they knew, that on purpose in a fight that you know i think the one person that backfired with was i don't Yeah, yeah. She's crazy. So I think she's still doing that i think she's

5:12 uh, As far as I know, if you book a fight and you get injured, I think they cover it. Either that or just, you know, just wear and tear from training in general. Yeah, exactly. they'll fight injured and claim an old injury and. And that's their way of fixing whatever they broke during training. And then you're going to hope you don't get hurt in practice

8:06 fighting someone who's my size it's a lot less likely that i get injured right but when i'm like, you're right there. to train with people that are bigger than you or to take chances like that them there i just feel like it's a lot safer to train with women. But you'd get used to that. you know, they were at the top of their heap. They were like the baddest girl in the gym,

11:00 So it's good to like still have those checks and balances like, okay, So it's like a weird thing where you have different stats stacked in some areas that guys don't. And then they have stats stacked in areas that women don't. Like with grappling, there's some really little guys that are impossible to tap. If you're not nice to him, it's not even going to work.

12:55 And I was like, shit, I never thought about that. Their neck is bigger. You've obviously gone through some improvements and some change. Yeah, is that how you say it? Yeah, I thought that was a bad decision. people like you fucking dick telling her to pull the head well i didn't hear or if i heard I had a lot of, I don't know, I guess ups and downs in my career.

16:09 like ESPN following me that week too so I was just super nervous and like the entire time during the trying to finish the fight so I hesitated uh my corner was yelling elbow I didn't throw the elbow I guess this fear of losing too much, you know? but then when I came back to the UFC I lost to Andrade and even though it was like probably the That it pumped you up?

19:19 like it was no different from you know my fight with Ashley Yoder. I felt more present in my Andrade fight. and so that's what i've been doing is like uh i've i have been doing like more like actual gonna happen next was what just happened, you know? People were guys who usually wouldn't really say much after I sparred them. know something that went that didn't go their way that should have gone their way and they don't

22:37 yeah um and that that really helped uh just like kind of calm my nerves and keep the anxiety uh from from being crippling And he's done a lot of, he actually hypnotized me. No, no, no. You know, and he is really good at working with fighters, at addressing. Those two things are critical. It's like how to capture that and hold that thought and then bring it inside the octagon and be able to recreate those feelings when you're actually under pressure of competition.

24:38 It's very weird. Yeah. on a cruise ship right now and pirates are coming or whatever yeah yeah and then you go hide yeah But it is like you're listening to his voice, but you're in a different state of consciousness. And that was in those athlete books books too just that flow state thing you can see like the texture i don't know yeah the texture the thread in the canvas and you can

27:17 Just that experience of being in there always scared me That is definitely like being in there being active i train all year round like i don't really take 20-something. 26? Oh, yeah. When did you start training? And it probably stunts your growth too a little bit. You didn't do anything? yeah yeah well they must be freaking out now like she's a what yeah she's in the fucking what she's

30:27 You're always funny, just quiet. but like I was never like the popular kid Yeah, it was really cool discovering it. natural you won't look like you're on steroids and i was like oh okay i think girls are afraid Yeah. So you're 24 years old. went to school and everything and uh first class i threw like an elbow and a knee on the tie pads never gonna be able to do this I can't do a high kick I can't do a split or anything like that so

34:24 I was just like, this is stupid like what's the point at like dribbling and everything Maybe that was like a sign of things to come. It was about nine months. No, I was balls deep. He was like, hey, you want to do WKs? So, yeah, I was just like, let's let's do it let's see Then before I went pro, I was trying to get an MMA fight just so I had like one or two amateur MMA fights under my belt. So if I do decide to do it, I have that experience,

37:31 What year were you on tough? I think our finale was like that december well that makes sense now Yeah. It's like you're just pushing yourself to like this, to like total exhaustion, I think before they say go, I was just like, what the fuck am I doing? technical you know i like grabbed her by the head and threw her over so that was like something we

39:57 At what point in time are you thinking, And it's about that time anyway. Right, right. But those guys are winning world championships and fighting at the top of the heap in amateur boxing. at least in the states isn't the same so uh so it was just time to make that step so i i still Lion Fight, it's like, these world-class fighters, a lot of the European guys.

42:31 my amateur fight or my pro fight but one of them i fought on the same card as cyborg and i was like Like, I think my coach, Brandon, he was holding pads for me. He slapped the shit out of her. Well, not only that, like, do you do that a lot? That's right. So, that was the card that I was on. And then what makes you say They do. fight and then somehow like you know build up a record and get called by and how long had you

45:46 Like a midget? Thanks, Brad. that kid was a full-grown kid uh so yeah yeah that but it didn't happen but that was the match-up so like sort of fucking half-assed MMA fights. but it was just It was That's hilarious No elbows but yeah it's crazy so so when i was in new york uh getting ready to fight mma um i actually got a in atom weight but she pulled out so we fought at straw weight i knocked her out in like the

48:47 You introduce yourself. there i tried out i did a grappling session where I did well against the person they put me up against. How many years? And then the part that I shined was the striking part. And they're like, Angela, stop, stop, stop. but I took that shit to heart. But I think I overestimated right you know or they fought in like bars before for like a small paycheck so like you didn't

52:29 Yeah. Four years. So then when you were on the show, how bonkers was that? That's hilarious. I tried out for tough after one fight, and now I'm living large. I don't know. And the problem is I haven't beaten anyone that's ranked now. I beat M-O-R-O-Z. So I was like, fuck you guys. It took me off the rankings. The rankings don't really judge that much.

56:00 So I shouldn't put too much value into it. and I feel like even some of those I could have won if it was like different judges. But like the rankings never reflected that. all starts coming together as a martial artist yeah yeah and i think uh somebody told me that i think uh i have a friend who's an actor fight i mean i told you this online but but when I saw it, I was like,

58:25 and that's what I thought that is yeah And I was like, get the fuck out of here. And I'm like, I can hit them and see the black eye as I bring my fist back to my face. The Houston fight was fucking bananas. He should be. And he might have won the third. Yep. You can't do that. was closer than the third. That was a fucking robbery. That was the first bad one of the night.

1:02:12 I said it to her after the fight. It's crazy. They still have that. And it's like, how the fuck? It should be announced to the audience. Because I went online after the fight to try to find pictures of some of those judges from Google master. i definitely see a different fight from being there live and then watching it on camera. Now at least they have monitors. But I think you're right i think eight is the the magic number yeah it's not like

1:05:12 I think it means more I don't think he's going to make it. And that's how Pride used to do it. Yeah. It's gotten to, when you get to a place like Houston, and look, I love Texas. I mean, can you imagine? a weird night in judging. It's like, I think it's 15 hours. I mean, I'm less worried about it and shit when you fly yes yeah yeah i have to be right yeah i mean i'm less worried about it than uh adam he's like the worrywart of the two of us so i'm kind of like

1:07:50 No Or selling all these different animals They're so noble. I feel really bad about eating just because I feel like its brain is bigger. They have incredible memories too. Yeah. There's this crazy video of an elephant being reunited with, amazing. They have incredible memories, too. You know? No. or is it just is it just different the thing is the thing where it's hard to tell is like apes

1:10:07 I don't remember. For lack of a better term. It was a self-portrait. Well, I think it's controversial because they taught the elephant how to paint himself. Yeah, but that's animal rights dipshits. And I do feel guilty about it. I'm like, I felt bad. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty close to what an elephant looks like. So I doubt that the elephant That's so crazy

1:13:17 Yeah that was the best part don't want to do it i felt they had did they have that big hook the hook when they so when we went You know what it could do. It didn't do anything, but you just know it's like it's like someone's sitting next to you with like a whip you know like you know what it could do it didn't do anything but you just know it's there

1:14:38 And then they actually had reintroduced a lot of them to the wild. bring those elephants back to a place where they can exist in the wild because they basically eat like i would rather just feed them and pet them. Yeah. And so you go out there and you pet them. But that water is filled with shit. Just put it on your nose. It's depressing. Some of them are so big.

1:17:33 It's not that big for a fucking wolf. to come back well we went into the pens see how little the pens are though yeah we went into the podcast for i'm getting kissed right there by a wolf they're very sweet like you can you can like all the big cats oh yeah fuck what is his name is it? Yeah, I can't think of it. But it's like something, cat something, big cat something.

1:19:44 You know, there's more tigers They're the only animals that I don't feel bad for at the zoo Oh, no, it's called Black Jaguar something Black Jaguar Yeah Yeah, try to look it up. Just like a drug prostitute they're tiny, They're jumping on you But they're only like a year old. I never thought about it. I'm addicted to these though. Because they're just laying there like this.

1:23:09 Yeah, they could tear him apart at any point, but they're still nibbling on him and stuff. Yeah, another one in texas that thing like oh that thing wants to run yeah that thing wants to, oh, that thing wants to run. Yeah, yeah. That thing wants to, you just open that gate. Yeah, the gray. Oh. So they're standing there with their back to a tree, and they got like fucking 20 wolves around them.

1:25:25 I have one of them the wolves were like, They took it. damn that's crazy fuck yeah it's crazy so lucky man well those animals used to kill everybody Yeah. So they had to share communication back and forth between, I'm pretty sure it was the So I'll be between 130, 125. the water i taper off this week so i was eating like pasta for dinner like all the way up until

1:28:18 on my instagram but i think you can see just like my cheekbones it's just like a still of me throwing Because your body wants to hold more body fat than a man's. And so, like, I mean, if you look at Amanda Nunes, she doesn't, she isn't really the biggest bantamweight, you know? Oh, yeah? cutting like to the point where she looks like she's about to die yeah but she's still a world

1:30:28 Yeah, you're just weaker all around. if i miss it i'd be like all right not gonna do that again you know but um that's got to be hard I really wish there was more weight classes in MMA. just like dude like there's no reason i should be training with you right now. She's a strong girl. You're just fucking bullying me around. She's a large lady. She's an athlete, man.

1:32:56 Yeah. Yeah She was talking about it Yeah it's just Because, like I said, it doesn't look like she hits that hard. what the fuck yeah a little alex perera you know alex perera and glory he's the only guy that's Yeah Have this power You know Oh, okay. Same with the first Shevchenko fight, too. yeah how are you going to beat her? I didn't think so. you pay she makes you pay so like all those like shots that she would throw the volume it's

1:36:49 She just hasn't fought anyone yet. They should have stopped that fight way, way, way before that. That lady's scary. Oh, my God. She's a fucking straight up killer all around so i'm gonna stop talking shit about And it was like, who the fuck could beat that guy? Yeah. Oh, the dance off was so sick. his face like yoel had already flipped and then he's like yeah he just probably saw a foot out of

1:39:51 put her out there like that so i'm always like i've always been a little self-conscious like man So I was all mushy and ready to be molded into a fighter. against chuck against chuck goodell exactly oh no oh no why i don't know i guess money yeah well yeah that's the only reason why i mean money it is an effective technique particularly if you're in someone's guard you know if you're on

1:42:14 He would hold, it didn't matter if you were in the guard or not, he'd smash his fucking Like, serious wrestling skill, huge power, and no drug testing. And then once the fight got into the later rounds, he started leg kicking the fuck out Great guy. Really? I feel like I remember watching it with my brothers at some point, and somebody goes, man, this shit's gay.

1:44:41 Yeah, yeah. It was like Tom Arnold and I forget all the people that were on it. What's up, Jamie? Hex and Lombard Fought last night It was weird Yeah yeah So that was one of the reasons I went out there. like the thing that I was saying about like training with women, I remember these girls like that is crazy altitude. Yeah. It's like 7,000 feet above sea level. I was there for that fight. I remember these girls like, that is crazy altitude.

1:47:02 And I showed up 10 days before I fought i was like oh i acclimated Well, you guys both were like you were stuck in the mud because the altitude was so high. And fucking like Just fucking do something At 170 Which is still hard to believe I back when Rumble used to fight at 170, I mean, he won tough at 170. He's going to come back and fight heavyweight in the UFC.

1:49:11 230 oh no how are you going to make 170 oh my god and then he had a hard time making 185 remember This guy was a 170-pound tough champion. Well, if they're offering a lot of money. People are like, what? smacked him in the face with a head kick. Oh, well, I just remember kicked him? It was a punch. Well, he hit him with a punch, too, but he head kicked him. Smacked him in the face with a head kick.

1:50:35 Yeah, yeah. Well, when he knocked out Glover with one punch, I was like, holy shit. He's a real freak. That's awesome. Yeah. Anybody. Yeah. I'd like to see that. I like him. I'd like to who stands in front of him might go night-night. But he can take it, too. Like when you look at the UFC. The thing is, I was catching Andrade when she would run in,

1:53:17 getting wobbled no as much no um but maybe she did because like when she came back and fought Tisha, that coming eventually like i'm like eventually someone's gonna put her out just because it's so i was surprised that she was able to get the title that that fast have you ever seen her move and to react more than most people i think like. Like as long as she's, like I haven't really seen,

1:56:29 everything so that's the one thing i think she has uh going for her but i do think joanna's reach Dude, I was too. So I was there chilling. my manager calls and he's like hey and it was like that time of the night that you know it's some reason I was just like who is talking you know but like it went viral and I was and I just Like, Angela Hill might fill in for Michelle instead of fill in for Joanna.

1:59:52 Just like in my first years of Muay Thai, like she has a very conventional style when it comes to Muay Thai. which she's really good at. and then beat her again and then it just didn't look like she had the firepower to keep her off contributing factor to a lot of her losses so we're gonna find out because you know when you go Yeah. or at least not confident when they're striking.

2:02:28 I think that really fucked her up. you gas out, We're only a bitch who would run away from a fight. It's one of those styles that are just so hard to mimic. always toes oh yeah yeah just always does the alley shuffle never flat-footed no no never and He'd do wild shit. He basically throws a head kick straight up's two inches away from you. Yeah. He'd do wild shit.

2:04:43 Yeah, yeah. There's not a lot of those. has gotten way more fluid. is like no one's talking. this is what you're doing wrong this is what you have to do right this is what you're doing great But, yeah, he's definitely, like, he's very stoic when it comes to that stuff, do this do this do this so that you can be like He runs from the camera. here because there were already like a few straw weights there.

2:08:18 it's just such a strange thing it is strange because it goes sideways and then you're locked my coach my first coach in new york was too he's like hey you know hey if you need to go somewhere He lives there and trains there One is nuts. Especially as a heavyweight. fucking big too yeah you know he's like 240 something now yeah yeah it's not it's not to

2:10:51 heavyweight remember when he knocked out frank mear this back when he was training with rob I was sad to see him go in a way, but happy because I knew he was getting paid. I mean, Mighty Mouse knocked out Benavidez. And since then, for the last nine years, could do everything yeah that's the thing that makes him so crazy is that he can do everything

2:13:38 Well, no, I mean the one before he lost. Figueiredo and Benavidez fight for the flyweight title, yeah he was always like just walking around that way yeah yeah i mean he may be like 135 Oh, for everybody else. Yeah, yeah. He's the one that I look at With him and Kamaru Usman but fuck if I ran the UFC, you know, just like as a fuck you well if max has a rematch against um alexander volkanovski

2:16:36 Well, if they could just put some kind of a cover over just the octagon, maybe they It used to be the World Series of Fighting. this year oh really yeah miliano sorted oh okay right yeah yeah What is the name of the big one in Japan? singapore i know they're doing oh they haven't been to japan yet have they i don't think so i The UFC is the top of the food chain and everybody else is trying real hard and every now and then someone will like a douglas lima or a fade or

2:19:20 I'd be down for that. you know, versus cotton swabs. it's undoubtedly the best fighters in the world. They might be able the more they start holding out for a spot Loma Lukbumi. Yeah, thanks, man.
