A win for Uriah Hall against Yoel Romero could do big things for him, who currently finds himself on a two-fight win streak. Uriah Hall and Yoel Romero are set to fight against each other on August 22.

Most fighters like champion Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker, and Darren Till, have all pointed towards Romero as the ‘scariest’ fighter in the division. While Uriah Hall doesn’t disagree with the notion of his fellow fighters, he does seem excited by the prospect of fighting against him.

A former Ultimate Fighter winner, Uriah Hall’s early career was a bag of mixed results with inconsistency a constant theme, but since his move to Fortis MMA, he seems to be doing fine. Uriah Hall’s fight against Ronaldo Souza was jeopardized at UFC 249 when the Brazilian tested positive for the virus.

Uriah Hall also felt energized by the offer to fight Yoel Romero and knows a win against the ‘boogeyman’ of middleweight will do a lot of good for his career. Uriah Hall is also looking to become the first fighter to finish Romero in the UFC, which would be a massive statement and a step in the direction of Israel Adesanya.
