More than a decade after his first loss, Uriah Hall has an opportunity to get it back this time inside of the octagon.
Hall takes on former middleweight champion Chris Weidman this Saturday on the main card of UFC 261. The event takes place at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla.
The bout was originally scheduled to take place at February’s UFC 258 event but was postponed after Weidman tested positive for COVID-19.
The first meeting between Hall and Weidman took place in September 2010 in Atlantic City, N.J., for regional promotion Ring of Combat. Hall was 4-0 with four finishes taking on a 2-0 upstart in Weidman. “The All-American” would pick up his third consecutive first-round finish when he caught Hall with a big left hook, which led to a ground-and-pound stoppage just north of the three minute mark.
