A gentleman in MMA: what Uriah Hall said before Chris Weidman’s shocking split

This Saturday at UFC 261, Chris Weidman broke his leg during the first kick he threw at Uriah Hall. While this image quickly went viral around the world, the way the winner acted also gained attention. He behaved like a true gentleman, which he had already shown. However, his words in the preview already indicated how he might react. From his words, Hall dictated, “When I saw him in 2009, 2010, I remember looking at him and thinking, ‘I would love to train with this guy. ‘People compared me to him, I really didn’t know who he was back then, and then I thought,’ Wow, I guess I’m a little similar in a way. I started looking at him, of course. I idolized him so much. I had a lot of respect for him because he made me feel like I was not alone. “” I was smart. I was creative and this creativity is something you have to cultivate. Of course, there was a part of my career where I forgot about that creativity because when you start listening to people you start to hear those negative statements, things, comments or opinions that little by little you start to hear. start to forget who you are. I think I did that, if I’m really honest with myself, I chose to listen to others, ”he said. They know what they are up against. Further, Uriah commented, “You hear people saying all the time, ‘Which Uriah is going to appear?’. I started to believe it. Like, oh shit, which Uriah is going to appear? But you have to understand how some things dynamically happen. It’s like no one is really the best fighter in the world. He’s the best fighter that day, that moment, that moment. And that’s what I love about MMA, because anyone can be beaten. “” A lot of times, whether it’s the media or other things that will change their principles, you look at the old-fashioned UFC ways, it was about honor, integrity and all that. It no longer exists, as I understand it. You have to evolve with the game. So now trash talk is one thing. It’s a good thing because it sells, but it’s bad because it’s really you? I used to struggle with it because why do I have to be wrong to be something that I’m not? I don’t mean to be wrong. They taught me to be myself, ”Uriah Hall closed.
