Earlier this morning, the UFC Fight Night 124 weigh in event was plagued with several problems, one of which was Uriah Hall’s inability to make it to the scales to make his co-main event against Vitor Belfort official.
Instead of making weight, the highly anticipated retirement fight for UFC legend Vitor Belfort is cancelled.
While it’s easy to be upset at the circumstances from the fans perspective, apparently Uriah Hall is not in good condition at all.
According to reports, the UFC star was only one pound away from making weight, and his health took a scary turn for the worse.
While little details are out right now on Hall’s condition, one thing is certain, it’s not good.
So bad in fact, that for the first time in history, a fighter eye witness has hit social media and asked fans to pray for the health of a fighter.
Uriah Hall is in bad shape y’all, and Paige VanZant is scared for his health.
In a statement to her twitter, the UFC sweetheart stated,
Please send Prayers up for @UriahHallMMA scariest thing I have ever seen. ??

VanZant is no stranger to bad weight cuts. She herself having had her own run ins with issues from the UFC’s continued policies of fighters cutting weight. Her experience has lead her to leave her fighting home at strawweight and make the move up to flyweight to avoid her own health complications.
Scary stuff.
