The Jamaican Uriah Hall shocked the world by delivering a spectacular knockout to Adam Cella in the third episode of TUF 17, shown last Tuesday (05), in the United States. UFC president Dana White said Cella was unconscious for four minutes, but the FX channel, which broadcasts TUF in the United States, cut the scene.

The round kick, which hit Adam in the face, caused such an impact that Hall said he had killed his opponent with the blow. “I really thought I had killed my opponent. My future flashed before my eyes. 'Man, I'm going to jail. I'm going to hell'”, said the fighter, in an interview with the newspaper “New York Post".

After the triumph, Hall celebrated the victory, but upon noticing his opponent's condition, he soon became worried and had to be restrained by the controversial Chael Sonnen, his coach on the program. “It was very bitter. I wanted to celebrate, but I didn't want to really hurt the guy. It was pretty scary,” he said. “At the end of the day, we are two human beings. As much as I try to improve my level of competition, I generally don't like hurting people. Unfortunately, it’s what I do for a living”, he concluded.
