Uriah Hall (left) had another disappointing efficiency on Saturday. (Getty) Uriah Hall burst onto the UFC scene with memorable fights on “The Ultimate Fighter.” We named his knockout of Adam Cella one of the best knockout of the primary quarter of this yr. He scored two extra knockouts on his method to the finals of the present.
But all the TUF fights were held within the health club, with the tightly controlled setting of a tv show taping and a small crowd. Once he was put beneath the UFC lights, Corridor fizzled. He lost to Kelvin Gastelum within the TUF finale, then seemed equally misplaced in the cage with John Howard on Saturday. UFC president Dana White had some harsh but truthful criticism for Corridor.
“I like Uriah Corridor,” White instructed reporters after the fights. “I have an important relationship with this child. He’s one of the nicest human beings you can ever meet. He isn’t a fighter, man.”
Remember that one in every of White’s most motivating phrases to fighters is from TUF. “Do you need to be a [expletive] fighter?” When they confirmed a scarcity of commitment or willpower, White would rally castmembers with this simple query. Some fighters would realize that maybe getting punched in the face for a living wasn’t for them. Most would hearken to White’s phrases and attempt to live as much as his expectations.
But with Corridor, there is not a speech. White has looked at Corridor’s two fights within the UFC, both losses, and he just would not see a fighter. It will not be a loss of life knell to Corridor’s profession, however it’s a punishing blow.
Dana White doesn’t think ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ phenom Uriah Hall is a fighter
