The atmosphere at the UFC Apex was already buzzing with anticipation for UFC Vegas 109, but Angela Hill managed to steal the show before any punches were thrown. The veteran strawweight turned what’s typically a routine weigh-in procedure into a prank that left everyone confused.
The video of the incident quickly went viral across social media platforms. As Hill prepared to step onto the scale for her bout against Iasmin Lucindo, she reached into her belongings and produced two fake implants, casually handing them over to a confused commission official. The prank caught everyone completely off guard.
Hill couldn’t contain her amusement throughout the entire ordeal, her laughter spreading throughout the room as onlookers processed what had just happened.
The prank came at a time when the event had already seen its share of drama, with several competitors missing their contracted weights. Anthony Hernandez came in half a pound over the middleweight limit, while Joselyne Edwards and Julija Stoliarenko each exceeded their divisions by a quarter pound.
The MMA community’s response was immediate and enthusiastic. UFC strawweight contender Mackenzie Dern praised Hill’s appearance, commenting “She is looking”
Popular MMA personality Nina Marie Daniele expressed her amusement with “Too good.” Fellow strawweight Jessica Penne joined the chorus of approval, showing appreciation for Hill’s ability to lighten the mood.
Fans were equally entertained by the spectacle. One observer noted the official’s reaction, writing “Bro took them without any hesitation.”
The prank also sparked discussions about Hill’s extensive career in the sport. With this upcoming appearance marking her 33rd professional contest, the veteran has established herself as both a skilled competitor and an entertaining personality.
Hill successfully made weight for her strawweight bout, coming in at the required 116 pounds.
