20 Joe Rogan Experience Episodes You Must Listen From 2020

20. Angela Hill - JRE MMA Show #92

One of the best things about the Joe Rogan Experience spin-off podcast, the JRE MMA Show, is that it puts the spotlight on combat sports stars casual fight fans might not be familiar with. Rogan has had the likes of Jorge Masvidal and Israel Adesanya on the podcast just before they became global superstars and he's continued that with this episode.

UFC strawweight contender, Angela Hill, has been a long-time favourite of hardcore MMA fans, but her recent progression as a fighter has made her stand out as of late. Prior to her fight with fellow 115lb contender, Loma Lookboonmee, she joined the show and shared her unique journey into the UFC.

Despite starting at 24-years old and having no previous martial arts experience, Hill explains how she excelled in Muay Thai and eventually made the move to mixed martial arts. While mos fighters have a number of bouts before joining the UFC, Hill's rapid success in Thai boxing meant that she was thrusted into the promotion when she signed up for their reality TV show, The Ultimate Fighter, despite only being 1-0 as a professional.

It's been a bumpy road for the now 35-year old, but she's managed to solidfy herself as one of the best in the world in a very short amount of time.
