Uriah Hall Earns Highlight Reel Finish Over Bevon Lewis
A long-time UFC middleweight contender Uriah Hall squared off against middleweight prospect Bevon Lewis in the prelims of UFC 232 PPV event tonight (Sat., Dec. 29, 2018) from inside The Forum in Inglewood, California. It took a long time for “Prime Time” to find his way to finish Lewis via third-round knockout.
From the opening round, Lewis was very energetic. He hurt Hall early on until second round. Half-way through the third round, Uriah Hall dropped his foe on the canvas with a thunderous right hook and forced the referee to step in and wave off the action.

“I didn’t understand his range at the beginning,” Uriah Hall said of the win in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. “He created an opening, I saw him get a little tired, he gave me an opening and that’s all I needed.”
