UFC strawweight veteran Angela Hill, known as “Overkill,” added her own twist to the ongoing Conor McGregor–Azealia Banks scandal with a humorous post aimed at UFC broadcaster Laura Sanko.
On X (formerly Twitter), Hill shared a mock direct message she sent to Sanko that included a photo of herself squatting with a kettlebell hanging between her legs, accompanied by the caption, “Lifting weights.”

The post was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the explicit image Banks alleges McGregor sent her, which reportedly featured a similar pose involving a weight.
The parody quickly gained traction among MMA fans and fighters alike. Supporters praised Hill’s comedic timing and willingness to poke fun at a viral situation that’s otherwise been met with criticism and concern. Comments flooded in, including, “Lmfao! Well played,” and “Angela Hill wins the internet.”
Lmfao!! Well played

I saw this before I saw the Conor shit and was like “oh that’s so sweet Laura and Angela send each other motivational progress pics.” I wish I never learned the context. 😂

Hill, who is scheduled to face Iasmin Lucindo at UFC Vegas 109 on August 9, has built a reputation not only as a seasoned fighter but also as one of the sport’s more candid and witty personalities on social media.
While neither McGregor nor Sanko have responded publicly to the post, Hill’s lighthearted take has added a satirical angle to a controversy that has dominated headlines across MMA circles.
