Uriah Hall was hoping his win over Gegard Mousasi last year would jump-start him to a future UFC middleweight title shot.
Instead, the former Ultimate Fighter runner-up has dropped two straight ahead of his rematch Saturday with Mousasi at UFC Fight Night 99.
Following the win over Mousasi via knockout, Hall (12-7) dropped a decision to Robert Whittaker and was finished by Derek Brunson this past September.
And while many question if Hall just got “lucky” when he landed his KO-shot on Mousasi, the 32-year-old isn’t letting that bother him.
“There are two reasons why Gegard picked me; one, he think it’s an easy fight, which he thought the first time, and two, he wants revenge,” Hall said. “I’m a different breed. I’m dynamic, I’m patient and I’m articulate. I pick my shots. He’s trying to come in here and prove a point, and I’m saying no, that kick was real.”
UFC Fight Night 99 airs live on UFC Fight Pass from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Mousasi vs. Hall is the main event.
