Uriah Hall, the former UFC mixed martial artist, holds the record for winning a end without knocking once. The Jamaican-American fighter has competed in the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions; he appeared in 28 MMA fights where he won 17 fights and 11 times.
The 38-year-old fighter announced his UFC retirement on August 10, 2022 and is currently focusing on his professional boxing career; the former middleweight is set to face the former three-time NFL Pro Bowl running back Le’Veon Bell on October 29 in Phoenix as part of an undercard event of the Paul vs. Silva fight.

In a recent interview, Hall expressed his love for MMA and said after his retirement that he was not into combat sports. However, when he received a large sum of money from the organizer to fight Bell, the MMA artist accepted the offer as he likes to earn huge amounts of money.
“I’m just having fun. I’m retired from mixed martial arts, but I’m not retired from making money. It’s a great opportunity. I see where this can take me. If there is another great opportunity after this, yes, I will take it. I have a goal. It is important to have goals to achieve. You can’t just stumble. I don’t want to be a companion like that. I want to have a purpose for doing it.
Talking about money The UFC really had bad reputation regarding payment issues with fighters. One of the most controversial events that Jacques-Paul highlighted was approximately Arianny Celeste’s payment. The girl in the ring was making $70,000 while life-threatening fighters moved $10,000. Although the great fighters received large sums of money, it is extremely low for the others.

In a recent interview, Hall supported Jake Paul and pointed out that the issue was ridiculous one and he wants the UFC to care about fighters’ payment issues.
“We shouldn’t go into too much detail, but I know people who do, which is ridiculous. Because you go out there and fight and put your brain cells on the line and the f**king ring card girls win $70,000, which is completely ridiculous. So yeah, there’s some bullshit that doesn’t go down, but compared to that, it’s fine.
