Bamgbose wants to avenge loss to Uriah Hall: ‘I highly dislike bullies’

UFC middleweight Oluwale Bamgbose wants to ‘one day’ avenge his debut loss to Uriah Hall because “Primetime” reminds him of a bully.

Oluwale Bamgbose had the opportunity of a lifetime nearly a year ago when he received a call from UFC matchmakers asking if he’d fight top middleweight Uriah Hall on short notice. Hall’s original opponent, Joe Riggs, had been forced out of the contest with an injury. Bamgbose was more than happy to oblige, but ultimately didn’t find the success he found on the regional circuit in his first outing in the big leagues.

It wasn’t long from the opening bell before “Primetime” was able to get Bamgbose on the mat and pound out an impressive first-round TKO victory, marking Bamgbose’s first pro-defeat.
