Angela Hill really played herself

She's washed up but she's still a bit better than Tecia, no??

she should be.. theoretically.. but she’s looked so bad recently that I give Tecia a decent chance to upset her… I’m not sure I would favor Tecia though
 
how old is hill, looked maybe 42. oh she's 36.

What is this? It's not Cangela Hill, is it?

Not that I expect many of you to give a shit about what's happening in WMMA but this was the perfect example of trash talking gone wrong.

Angela (despite being a journeywoman at best) is talking big shit about Tecia, accusing her of using PEDs, basically saying she only lost to Tecia the first time because it was pre-USADA.

Then you go out and get dominated and lose even more convincingly the second time post-USADA, so she really made herself look stupid.

Why would you do that? You set yourself up for a must-win and then you lose and make yourself look bad.

im so mad at her,she basically is the same fighter today as she was in the first fight imo. this style of fighting with the hands low is not for her,she is not good at managing distance, doesn't have good reflexes or mouvement and her defense is straight up bad.

Maybe she can no longer do extensive training and has been stuck in maintenance mode.

I would normally say no fighter would ever tell you this but Joanna did recently and until then it never really dawned on me that this can happen despite the fact that it's obvious.

People typically chalk it up to a fighter just not having the ability to learn but some fighters like Joanna and perhaps Hill are rote fighters. That means they need to practice the same move endlessly and relentlessly to both learn it and maintain it nevermind improve it or try and implement it into a gameplan and have the ability to recall it on command as a response to a specific movement from the opponent.

GSP talked about this on JRE. They teach you to respond to specific queues without thinking and that's a large part of camp when prepping for a specific opponent. The inability to implement this separates tiers of fighters.

I could be wrong. Maybe she just doesn't have the headspace for all this. MMA is complicated as fuck and you need to remember way too much. But there's no money in MT. Not really.

Not really, aside from waterson, Tecia's best ufc win is against Hill. They both lose when they step up in competition.

I remember years ago watching tecia dominate someone and she kept locking up a kimura the wrong way. The Kimura is one of the first subs people are taught, finishing it can be hard and it's very technical when used right. She simply could not comprehend the correct way to grip it up. I would love to find that fight again, it was one of the the most embarrassing things I have seen in mma as she was ranked at the time.

your comment make a lot of sense especially when you look at the fact that she is pretty much always training for a fight, and when you are training for a fight your are not learning new skill or not as much as usual.
 
Its the Deepest division in Wmma and imo 3rd -4th deepest in MMA.

Angela is just outside the top 10 in skill but definitely belongs in the UFC. I like her brash ess and fighting style.

Was a good fight. Tecia still the better fighter though.

You should watch their fights in their records instead of just their record. The difference is much more clear that way. There is a reason why one losses to Joanna while the other losses to girls like Randa Markos and Cortney Casey. There are levels to this game.

They've both lost to Randa Markos.

I guarantee you practically none of them ever stopped. Not for long anyway. The huge drop off in performance across the board by many top fighters was more of a result of having to adjust to the new system and some like Vitor not being able to find anything that would maintain his past results. He was genetically played out.

Within a relatively short time USADA was gamed as fuck.

Now you have athletes micro dosing and they have to be complete morons or make enormous mistakes with their cycles to get caught. You don't even need bioidentical hgh or test to avoid getting caught. Just don't be a careless idiot like Jones.

All those tests for EPO on TJ's past samples that USADA cleared him on, that everybody brings up as some sort of vindication, don't mean dick when the window for catching it in a test can be measured in hours, at the amounts they are dosing, at the very most.

cutting off iv use was the biggest game changer imo

Tecia just dominated hill who most say Claudia got a robbery split over, so no. Tecia probably outworks Mrs Nunes too hard to say she didn’t look good post baby but maybe 2nd fight she'd be better.
