On Saturday night, it might have saved his UFC career.
The New York City middleweight was handily losing his UFC Fight Pass prelim bout against unbeaten upstart Bevon Lewis at UFC 232.
But Hall, who showed little during the first two rounds, landed the one shot that counted, as he landed a huge counter right hand flush on the jaw early in the third round. The bout was immediately waved off as Hall earned the knockout win at the 1:32 mark at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
With that, Hall (14-9) won for just the second time in his past six fights.
