Belfort vs. Uriah Hall now official for UFC Fight Night 124 in St. Louis

Postby Edge Guerrero » Wed Nov 15, 2017 3:02 pm

Vitor Belfort took the liberty of announcing his next fight booking, against Uriah Hall, a few weeks ago. Now it’s official.

At the time, Belfort (26-13 MMA, 15-10 UFC) merely said on social media that he would fight Hall (13-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) on Jan. 14, a Sunday, but didn’t have the location. But 10 days ago, the promotion announced that slot for its long-awaited debut in St. Louis, and now has formalized the middleweight booking.

UFC Fight Night 124 takes place Jan. 14 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis. The card will air on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

In his most recent fight in June, Belfort scored a unanimous-decision win over Nate Marquardt at UFC 212. It was Belfort’s first victory since Nov. 2015, when he knocked out Dan Henderson at UFC Fight Night 77.

Prior to the win over Marquardt, the 40-year-old Brazilian legend had lost four of five fights by TKO to CHris Weidman in a title fight at UFC 187, Ronaldo Souza, Gegard Mousasi and Kelvin Gastelum. But the Gastelum win was flipped to a no-contest after Gastelum tested positive for marijuana.

In Hall, Belfort faces an opponent also on the rebound. Hall in September rallied to win via TKO over Krzysztof Jotko at UFC Fight Night 116 to snap a three-fight losing streak.

Prior to the bonus-winning KO of Jotko, Hall had dropped a decision to Robert Whittaker, then lost back-to-back TKOs to Derek Brunson and Gegard Mousasi. The Mousasi loss was a rematch from 14 months prior when Hall stunned the Dutchman with a flying knee for a TKO in Japan.

The UFC Fight Night 124 card includes:

Vitor Belfort vs. Uriah Hall
Thiago Alves vs. Zak Cummings
Matt Frevola vs. Marco Polo Reyes
James Krause vs. Alex White
Darren Elkins vs. Michael Johnson

bad night for Bellfort
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

These fight nights are rarely on tv in Canada since TSN took over as rights holder. The result is basically, out of sight, out of mind.
