Uriah Hall, fresh off of his 1st round TKO over short-notice replacement Oluwale Bamgbose at UFC Fight Night in Nashville, will himself play the role of short-notice opponent this September. The UFC announced on Wednesday that Hall has stepped in for the injured Roan Carneiro and will take on top 10 middleweight Gegard Mousasi in the UFC Fight Night: Barnett vs. Nelson co-main event in Japan.
Hall (11-5) bounced back from his split decision defeat to Rafael Natal with the previously mentioned stoppage over Bamgbose. The TUF 17 runner-up was actually scheduled to fight Joe Riggs before Bamgbose came in as a late substitute.
