Chris Weidman vs Uriah Hall — Fight recap

Uriah Hall knocked out Chris Weidman via TKO in the first round at 0:17, with referee Herb Dean stopping the action in a stunning upset at UFC Fight Night on April 24, 2021. Weidman landed just one of two significant strikes—a single leg kick—before Hall connected with devastating striking that left no time for a response; the former middleweight champion absorbed the damage with zero control time and zero takedown attempts.

Hall's explosive offense materialized immediately, catching Weidman cold in the opening seconds and forcing the referee to intervene before any meaningful exchanges could develop. The loss marked a significant downturn for Weidman, whose injury-plagued tenure continued to deteriorate following his earlier leg injuries and consecutive defeats.
