In the lead-up to this weekend’s main event, Sportskeeda had the opportunity to speak with Uriah Hall, who discussed his thoughts on the fight and UFC Middleweight Champion, Israel Adesanya.
Uriah Hall responds to Israel Adesanya mentioning him in the lead-up to title fight against Paulo Costa
Israel Adesanya was quite vocal about Uriah Hall in the lead-up to the former’s title fight against Paulo Costa back in September. Hall, of course, fell victim to the brutal power of Costa at UFC 226 and was finished off in the second round of their encounter. Adesanya, the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion, also mentioned that if Hall can stick to the basics for this weekend’s event, he will reign supreme over Anderson Silva.
Hall simply responded to Izzy by thanking him for the advice.
Uriah Hall simply wants to face the champion
Given that this is Anderson Silva’s last UFC fight, a win for Uriah Hall would be massive, in that he would be sending one of the sport’s legends to retirement with a loss. As big an accomplishment as a win over Silva would be, Hall’s goal is simple, as he claimed that he only wants to face the champ.
Uriah Hall on being a spoiler in Anderson Silva’s last fight
Uriah Hall now has the biggest opportunity of his career, as he is set to face the greatest UFC Middleweight Champion in history so far in Anderson Silva. Obviously, Silva would like to go out on top, but Hall would rather spoil the night for “The Spider”.
