Uriah Alexander Hall{{Cite web|title=BoxRec: Uriah Hall|url=https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/942122|access-date=18 November 2023|website=boxrec.com}} (born July 31, 1984) is a Jamaican-American former professional mixed martial artist, kickboxer, and current boxer.

Early life
Uriah Hall was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica but moved to the New York City borough of Queens in the United States at the age of 13. Upon his arrival in the US, he was bullied at school{{cite web|title=Uriah Hall Was Bullied as a Kid in New York|date=26 February 2014 |url=http://mmanuts.com/news/uriah-hall-bullied-kid-new-york/|publisher=MMANUTS.COM|access-date=26 February 2014}} but found refuge in martial arts at the age of 16.{{cite web|url=http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/01/meet-the-ultimate-fighter-17-cast-uriah-hall-van-damme-and-tekken-pupil|title=Meet 'The Ultimate Fighter 17' cast: Uriah Hall, Van Damme and 'Tekken' pupil - MMAjunkie|work=MMAjunkie|date=23 January 2013 }} He is a second degree blackbelt in Tiger Schulmann's Mixed Martial Arts under Tiger Schulmann and also competed as a kickboxer in the World Combat League.{{cite web|url=http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2010/12/23/1892439/world-mma-middleweight-scouting-report-8-uriah-hall|title=World MMA Middleweight Scouting Report: #8 - Uriah Hall|author=Leland Roling|work=Bloody Elbow}}
Mixed martial arts career
=Early career=
Hall started his career 3–0, including a TKO victory over Edwin Aguilar at Bellator 11, before fighting for the vacant Ring of Combat Middleweight title. Hall missed weight by 0.25 lbs and paid $100 penalty to his opponent. Despite missing weight, the fight remained a title fight. Hall won by first-round submission.
In September 2010, Hall suffered his first professional loss as he was defeated by future UFC champion Chris Weidman by TKO.
Hall suffered his second loss to Costas Philippou at Ring of Combat 34 by majority decision.
Hall would get back to his winning ways, collecting 3 consecutive victories over Aung La Nsang, Daniel Akinyemi and Nodar Kudukhashvili. He won the vacant Ring of Combat Middleweight Championship against Kudukhashvili.
=''The Ultimate Fighter''=
On January 9, 2013, it was announced that Hall had been selected as a fighter for the seventeenth season of The Ultimate Fighter with coaches Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen.{{cite web |url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/1/9/3855212/the-ultimate-fighter-17-cast-revealed |publisher=MMAfighting.com |title=The Ultimate Fighter 17 cast revealed |date=January 9, 2013 |access-date=March 27, 2013}}
In the opening round to get into the house, Hall took on Andy Enz and won via decision. Hall was the number two fighter selection for Team Sonnen.
In episode 3 Hall faced Adam Cella from Team Jones. With just ten seconds left in the first round, Hall unleashed a devastating spinning hook kick to Cella's head that knocked him unconscious. The knockout was declared the most vicious knockout seen by Dana White over The Ultimate Fighter's eight-year history.{{cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2013/02/05/ufc-the-ultimate-fighter-spinning-wheel-kick-knockout/1895005/ |publisher=USA Today |title=Spinning wheel kick KO on 'The Ultimate Fighter' stuns UFC boss Dana White |date=February 6, 2013 |access-date=March 27, 2013}}
With the win, Hall advanced on to the quarter-finals and took on Bubba McDaniel of Team Jones. Hall knocked McDaniel out with a right straight counter-punch just as he was advancing forwards in the first round. That one punch broke McDaniel's face in three places. This led to Dana White stating that Hall was the "most dangerous" fighter in TUF history and coach Sonnen to say he will be a contender in the middleweight division.{{cite web|url=http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/04/episode-no-11-recap-the-ultimate-fighter-17-team-jones-vs-team-sonnen|title=Episode No. 11 recap: 'The Ultimate Fighter 17: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen' - MMAjunkie|work=MMAjunkie|date=3 April 2013 }}
Hall faced Dylan Andrews in the semi-finals. He displayed a more technical approach, utilizing a jab through a majority of the first round. Taken down in the second round by Andrews, Hall attempted a kimura submission before throwing strikes from the bottom position that severely hurt Andrews and forced him to lose his top control and caused Hall to land massive ground & pound to secure the TKO victory for Hall.

With his successful 4–0 run on the show, Uriah garnered a lot of attention from the public. Hall then faced fellow Team Sonnen fighter Kelvin Gastelum in the finals at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale.{{cite web |url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/4/9/4207458/tuf-17-finale-fight-card-mma-news|title=TUF 17 Finale fight card|work=mmafighting.com |date=April 9, 2013 |access-date=April 9, 2013}}{{cite web|url=http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/04/tuf-17-finals-set-with-team-sonnen-fighters-kelvin-gastelum-vs-uriah-hall|title=TUF 17 finals set with Team Sonnen fighters Kelvin Gastelum vs Uriah Hall|publisher=mmajunkie.com|date=2013-04-09}} Kelvin Gastelum, in an impressive upset, won the fight via split decision.{{cite web|url=http://www.cagedinsider.com/ufc/kelvin-gastelum-shocks-the-world-defeats-uriah-hall-at-tuf-17-finale/|title=Kelvin Gastelum Shocks the World, Defeats Uriah Hall at TUF 17 Finale|work=Caged Insider}} Although Hall appeared in good spirits after the loss, the fight was not without controversy.

When asked about his performance in the post-fight conference, Hall stated that his emotional side, stemming from liking and training with Kelvin had gotten the best of him. He went on to say "Kelvin is a great guy, he's a tough kid you know, I think he's going to go really far in this sport and I'm happy for him."{{cite web|url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/4/14/4222824/dana-white-uriah-hall-mentally-broke-against-kelvin-gastelum|title=Dana White: Uriah Hall 'mentally broke' against Kelvin Gastelum|author=Shaun Al-Shatti|work=MMA Fighting|date=14 April 2013 }}
