It was Uriah Hall (18-11 MMA) vs Andre Muniz (23-4 MMA) in a middleweight bout last Saturday, July 2nd at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The result was a unanimous decision win for Muniz, keeping his undefeated streak alive since signing with the UFC.

As of July 4, 2022, ‘Sergipano’ is listed as #10 in the UFC middleweight rankings.

Uriah Hall took to ‘Instagram‘ following his loss with a statement which read:

“The fight game can be beautiful but also massively brutal. the shittiest part of this sport can also be the necessary part of growth. I must celebrate my win but also learn from my losses. Most importantly, I can’t wait to tell my kids I got my ass kicked and kept on coming. No one hits harder than life and I am still standing. Congrats to Black Belt Jiujitsu champion Andre for not even being able to submit a blue belt. I would have held on for dear life as well. your boring plan worked and you won the decision…lol all good, on to then next.”

Not much of a congratulatory statement coming from the 37 year old Jamaican.

It was to be Hall’s second loss in a row, as he previously lost to Sean Strickland (25-4 MMA) in July of 2021. Prior to those losses, ‘Primetime’ had been on a 4 fight winning streak.

Do you agree with Hall that Muniz had a ‘boring plan’ that worked which got him the win at UFC 276?

Who would you like to see Muniz fight next? And, what do you think is next in the cards for Hall?
