Dana White rips Uriah Hall after UFC Fight Night 124 weigh-in miss: 'He doesn't take it serious'

[Super Dave]

ST. LOUIS – Uriah Hall was forced to withdraw from Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 124 event after a pre-weigh-in incident that Paige VanZant described as the "scariest thing" she’d ever seen.

Hall (13-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) was scheduled to fight Vitor Belfort (26-13 MMA, 15-10 MMA) in the middleweight co-headliner at Scottrade Center in St. Louis. He failed to step on the scale at Saturday’s official weigh-in, and the bout was promptly called off.

Details on exactly what happened are still somewhat unclear. Hall was transported to a local hospital after reportedly fainting and was forced to stay for more than 48 hours. He was released Sunday afternoon, but has not made any public comment on the situation.

I claim fake news because this doesn't sound like something Dana would say.

I'm being sarcastic for anyone who isn't sure.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

Hall seems to be another uber talented guy who just doesn't have the mindset to become truly elite. He'll always be dangerous but will never be a serious contender.

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

He's not wrong.

Either do it right and be serious or move up.

dana did not seem in a good mood last night, said they may strip conor too

 

[IschKabibble]

Can't blame him for the attitude. Can't say I was surprised to hear the fight was cancelled either.

Dana doesn't take it seriously. Crack down on huge weight cuts ya goon

I don’t think halls making a huge cut. He’s not a massive guy at 185, there are quite a few that cutvway more without issue. It’s unfortunate this happened but like others have said it’s an ongoing mental issue with hall. I really don’t think going up wouldn’t be a good move for him.

Fuck these snitches at the UFC training center. Ratting out and criticizing Hall’s training to his boss.

Why would any fighter want to go the the UFC training center if it’s going to be away for Dana White to monitor and second guess your training or commitment after you have an injury or health issue?











I’m so upset about this that I’m thinking of going down to the crawl space, finding my old wrestling singlet, driving down to the UFC training center and slamming some heads into lockers until we figure out who this rat motherfucker is.
