Angela Hill is one of many fighters who have taken offense to Mike Perry using the N-word on Twitter. In a recent beef with Michael Jai White, the two went back-and-forth on social media where Perry asked to fight White in bare knuckle. Yet, the actor had a snarky response and “Platnium” obviously didn’t like it as he issued a racial slur at the actor.

Before making her return to the UFC, Angela Hill strung together a four-fight win streak and captured the strawweight title in Invicta FC. The last loss she had before leaving the organization was against Rose Namajunas. That was only two years ago, but it’s wild to see how much has changed within that short time. While Hill is still unranked, her plan is to stack some wins together to eventually have a chance to avenge her loss to the new UFC strawweight champion. “I’ve always wanted my rematches, but I wanted to make sure that I was ready when I did have those rematches. You know, everyone’s on the list that I’ve lost to when it comes to that. But I definitely feel like I was a totally different fighter when I did fight [Rose Namajunas]. I was motivated to fight [Joanna Jedrzejczyk] when she was champ. I was hoping that I could work my way up to that. I was already thinking about what I was going to do for the face-off and everything. But now that she’s out of the picture, she’s still going to be around. I’d still love to fight her at some point. Yeah, I’m definitely going for that title run after I feel I’ve got enough wins, and I’ve impressed enough to get a go at [Namajunas].”

While taking out four fighters in a row and winning the strawweight tritle, Angela Hill’s time in Invicta FC was like a greatest hits of video game and pop culture references. Each weigh-in, she turned up like it was Comic Con and it was awesome. After clawing her way back to the UFC, she picked up right where she left off, laughing on stage as Sagat from the Street Fighter franchise. Her next idea to show up as Marvel’s Black Panther was shot down though, due to the restrictive Reebok outfitting policy. “I had a whole routine planned out [for the weigh-in with Ashley Yoder]. I was going to do the Jacare crawl to the scale, and just kind of come up like Batman. And be super dramatic with it, and then point at her with my claw gloves and just be really ridiculous, but then when they said I couldn’t do It I said, ‘F-ck it, I’ll just stare at her and look mean. I can’t wait [for Marvel’s Black Panther movie]. It’s going to be so good. It’s going to be great for everyone; for the comic book community and especially for the black community.”

TUF 25 Finale Results: Angela Hill vs. Ashley Yoder A women’s strawweight scrap between Angela Hill and Ashley Yoder served as the featured bout of tonight’s TUF 25 Finale prelims.

Last weekend, on the main card of the UFC’s latest trip to Houston, strawweight striker Angela Hill returned to the UFC after a short stint in the Invicta FC cage. She made this return against streaking contender Jessica Andrade. Though Hill put up a valiant effort in this comeback fight, she ultimately came up short, giving up a hard-fought unanimous decision to her foe in a Fight of the Night winning battle. While Hill’s return to the Octagon unfortunately resulted in a loss, her latest weigh-in appearance was a definite win. If you watched the weigh-in ceremonies for the UFC’s Saturday trip to Houston, you probably saw the strawweight decked out in an eye patch, and white hand wraps. This getup was a tribute to fan favorite Street Fighter character Sagat, a Muay Thai specialist who originally debuted as a boss, but ultimately became a playable character.
