Whenever Angela Hill glances at her MMA record — 15-12 — she'll grimace. And her 9-12 record outside of the UFC makes her grimace even a bit longer.
"It makes me look like a 50/50 fighter," Hill said,"and I know I'm not that. I fight only the best of the best of the best, you know? I could be 22-5 but I'm 15-12. It's like, 'This isn't representative of who I am as a fighter, but it's what they'll announce me before the fight.", a key bout for positioning in the strawweight division. Dern has a much more palatable record of 12-3, but she, too, believes it could be better.
There are other considerations, too, when a fighter loses via questionable decisions. Most MMA fighters, though not all, get half of their salary to show and only earn the other half if they win. Hill goes through the fights she lost that she believes she won and expresses shock.of money," she said."I didn't get into this sport for the money and when I started fighting, I never thought it would be my main job, so I never have money at the front of my head.
Dern lost to Yan Xiaonan her last time out in a fight she could have won. She said she learned from it though, after she had stepped away from it. "Before, I was just going, 'I need to submit. I need to submit,' and if I didn't do it, you could see the frustration in me starting. I'd close the distance and try to force the takedown. Antonio helped me understand that I'm fighting the best of the best, and they know I have great jiu-jitsu and they're spending their whole camp training to defend.
