The UFC brings on an exciting new middleweight talent to fight Uriah Hall on short notice in Nashville.
Middleweight prospects are a rare thing. For a division that has built up (even recently) some shining stars, there's a lot of chaff at the bottom of 185 lbs. When big prospects do emerge, they often have a chance to shoot up the ranks quickly. It's a division that supports fighters that want to blitz their way to the top, if they can. It's also a division that sees many fighters rise too far too fast and end up with multiple setback losses.
