UFC Fight Night 124 is scheduled to take place at the Scottrade Center this Sunday and it will feature Uriah Hall as he comes up against Vitor Belfort. Hall currently has a record of 14 – 8, and over three fourths of his victories have come via knockouts. His most recent fight was a victory against Krzysztof Jotko in September. He was looking down and out after three straight defeats, but then he came back strong and snatched a knockout victory in a fight that was then credited as the fight of the night.
He has not tasted consecutive victories since 2015, and will be hungry for a win against Belfort. This will be Hall’s debut fight in Missouri. He is not only a great striker, but can be a deadly force on the ground too, given that he has a ground and pound attack which is no laughing matter.
Belfort, on the other hand, is no slouch himself, he has a record of 26 – 13 coming into this fight, and certainly has more fights under his belt that his opponent. Like Hall, Belfort also wins most of his fights via knockouts. His most recent fight was a victory against Nate Marquardt. Like Hall, Belfort has not had the glory of back to back victories in a very long time and will be looking to make this fight count in his favor.
In terms of a prediction, we will side with the Belfort to win this fight.
