In the confrontation, Weidman, who was looking to resume the good phase of his career, could produce little. In the first seconds, Chris risked a low kick, which was saved by his rival. Immediately, it was possible to notice the fracture, which declared the technical knockout.

Victorious in the confrontation, Hall did not even celebrate the triumph. Excited, the fighter showed respect to the veteran and wished his opponent a speedy recovery.
