Uriah Hall became the first hunter in the history of UFC who won a fight without landing a single strike when he fought against Chris Weidman on UFC 261.
After earning his contract through the ultimate hunter, Uriah Hall was once emphasized as a potential problem in the UFC Middleweight Division because of its incredibly striking.
UFC fans were introduced for the first time in his striking possibilities when he scored one of the scariest knockouts of all time during his time on Tuf.
Nevertheless, the UFC career of Hall turned out not to be so many people, despite victories on people like Anderson Silva and Gangarded Mousasi.
'Primetime' Hall, however, made UFC history in 2021 when he fought for former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman on UFC 261.

Uriah Hall made UFC history with a victory over Chris Weidman
On April 24, 2021, the UFC returned to Jacksonville with a blockbuster UFC 261 card, and in the main event, Kamaru Usman scored a frightening Ko about Jorge Masvidal.
However, it was the fight between Hall and Weidman who unfortunately stole the headlines. Hall and Weidman had met 11 years earlier at the regional scene and the American scored a victory over Hall.
In their Rematch, Hall was hopeful to set up an impressive performance, not only to avenge his loss, but also to extend his wintreak to four in a row.
Only 17 seconds in their fight, 'the All-American' went to land a heavy leg kick on Hall, but with an impact, his own leg broke.
Put back on his already broken leg, both Hall and Weidman realized his injury, and the referee quickly jumped in and signaled for medical help.
Although it was an extreme without mercy, Hall became the first hunter in the history of the promotion that scored a victory without landing a single strike.
Another crazy part of the devastating situation was that Weidman had found himself in an extremely comparable position only eight years earlier, when he defeated Anderson Silva for the second time after Silva broke his leg during their fight.
Uriah Hall was recently lost to the next opponent of Jake Paul
After his unfortunate victory over Weidman, Hall lost two fights in a row against Sean Strickland and Andre Muniz, who was then cut from the promotion.
Since then, 'Primetime' has entered the world of boxing, where he scored a victory over the former NFL player Le'veon Bell.
He then competed against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who is the next opponent of Jake Paul and lost a unanimous decision last July.
Hall was then planned to participate in GFL 2, but his fight against Douglas Lima was canceled after the promotion had canceled their two debut events due to a lack of investment.
