Yeah man. I feel ya

As Ariel said on MMAH yesterday, I think we have seen the best of Uriah Hall. Not that he is finished, just that I think "they are who we thought they were," with him. He can win big fights, and he will also lose a lot of big fights. I I always got the impression that he wasn't the most cerebral fighter.

Super talented athlete though.

I still wonder how his fight against Anderson would have gone

I agree that we have seen the best of Hall, but think we will see more of his best, if that makes sense. Like I think he plateaued, but isn't on the downward trend imo.

I think his fight against Silva would be boring or spectacular for a short time.

His fight against Brunson reminded me of his fight against Weidman, who also finished him in the first. In my uneducated opinion Hall needs a fair amount of range to be effective.

I have no qualms with the stoppage considering dude was grappling with the ref.

Actually his head is the problem. He thinks too much and doesn't like fighting or hurting people. If he would just turn his brain off and use his skills, he may be a top 5 fighter.

i just find it crazy that a mma fighter has issues being mean and hurting ppl. This is his job. Honestly he is bellator type of talent.

Edit: I fixed the fight card poster and fight card on the main page.

dude seems more like ap point karate guy, I've done that years ago and will never ever do mma. I would do karate tournaments if I was a few years younger and not all jacked up.
