Follow Us
UFC has rescheduled the bout between Uriah Hall and Sean Strickland from August 7 to July 31. MMA Junkie leaked the news, but it’s yet unconfirmed by the UFC. Uriah Hall is on a four-fight winning streak and is eying for a title shot in the near future. Hall won his last fight against Chris Weidman where Hall didn’t even throw a single strike.
The first leg kick of the fight became the last as Weidman suffered a gruesome injury that broke his leg. After going through a complete training camp, ‘Primetime’ wanted to fight again. Therefore, UFC decided to schedule him a quick fight after his opponent’s tragic stoppage at UFC 261.
