January 22, 2018 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Dana White won’t be letting Uriah Hall fight below light heavyweight anymore. White discussed Hall fainting and being hospitalized before UFC Fight Night 124, which caused Hall’s fight with Vitor Belfort to be scratched. Highlights are below:

On Hall’s health scare: “The guys at the UFC (Performance Institute) said he’s the, what’s the word – he doesn’t take it serious. He doesn’t take his training serious, he doesn’t do what anybody tells him. He does his own thing. A week before the fight, he went to L.A. and was hanging out in L.A. in clubs and stuff. So, not good.”

On not letting Hall fight below light heavyweight: “The ABC does have the ABC registry and we will post that Uriah Hall won’t be able to fight at that weight (185 pounds). There will be notes on the registry that state that he missed the weight and that he can’t fight at that weight.”
