Gegard Mousasi Stops Uriah Hall, Gets Revenge in Belfast
UFC middleweight contender Gegard Mousasi avenged his previous loss to Uriah Hall in Belfast.
A rematch between two top-15 middleweights headlined UFC Fight Night 99 as the Dutchman Gegard Mousasi faced the American Uriah Hall.
Having witnessed over five hours of exciting action already in the evening the pressure was on Hall and Mousasi to step up and produce and that they did.
The opening round was a tentative affair as Mousasi cautiously plodded forward narrowly evading several or Hall’s vicious looking spinning kicks. The Dutchman rocked back the head of Hall with several jabs, but Hall responded with his own leg kicks that reddened the inside leg of Mousasi.
Midway through the round, Mousasi pressured Hall back against the cage and in a split second he looked for the takedown wrapping both arms around the waist of the American. Mousasi proceeded to take him man down and from there he established wrist control of Hall’s free arms and proceeded to lay in heavy ground and pound.
With Hall unable to improve his position trapped against the cage and Mousasi pummeling away, the referee Marc Goddard called an end to the fight with four minutes and thirty-seven seconds on the clock.
Mousasi had his revenge in double quick time, and picked up his fourth-straight victory in the process.
