Hall, on the other hand, has also secured a large chunk of his wins via TKO/KO; 73% to be precise. Going into the fight he will have a two-inch reach advantage over ‘The Spider’. ‘Primetime’ has landed an impressive 3.31 significant strikes per minute. 

However, his significant strike defense is 53% which is below par and means that he has absorbed a concerning 3.57 significant strikes per minute. Uriah has just one submission win in his career. Therefore, his best bet to win the fight is to keep it standing as well. This will ensure that UFC fans are treated to a slugfest.

‘Prime Time’ will have to be cautious though as he faces one of the best strikers in the game ever who may still have one good punch or kick left in him even at the age of 45.

Silva will aim to close the chapter on his illustrious career on a high note against Uriah Hall. However, it will not be an easy feat to achieve. Will ‘The Spider’ get a fairy tale ending to his UFC career on Halloween? Only time will tell. 

Prediction: Anderson Silva via decision.
