Joe Riggs will get another fight in the UFC despite losing his last two, but this time it will be at middleweight. The Tennessean first reported the new fight booking for "Diesel", who will take on Uriah Hall at UFC Fight Night in Nashville on August 8th. Initially, the article said Hall vs. Riggs would be at welterweight, but the UFC's own confirmed report says they will compete at middleweight.
Riggs (40-16, 1 NC) returned to the UFC after 8 years fighting for various promotions, including Strikeforce and Bellator, but the 32-year-old has failed to come away with a win in his outings against Ben Saunders and Patrick Cote.
