Uriah Hall Forced Out Of Bout Against Vitor Belfort
Uriah Hall has been removed from his bout against Vitor Belfort at UFC Fight Night 124.
UFC Fight Night 124 has lost another bout just over 24 hours until the event is set to take place at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Uriah Hall failed to weigh in for his co-main event bout against Vitor Belfort, which led to the bout being scrapped.
As a result, the women’s flyweight bout between Paige VanZant and Jessica-Rose Clark has been promoted to the co-main event slot on the FOX Sports 1 card.
Hall’s withdrawal also brought good news to St. Louis native Michael Johnson.
Johnson was initially slated to close out the preliminary card against Darren Elkins, but the bout has been bumped up and will now kickoff the main card on Sunday night.
