the average weight Uriah Hall, considered one of the main names in the The Ultimate Fighter 17 Due to his spectacular knockouts, he doesn't just seem to be impressing Ultimate's management and the fans who follow the reality show. In an interview with the podcast 'Chokes and jokes', the next challenger for the 84 kg category belt, Chris Weidman, revealed that he wants to train with the reality participant to fight against Anderson Silva.

“Actually, I think I'll bring, you know, Uriah Hall. The Ultimate Fighter? He's got some cool kicks and stuff like that. I've fought him before too,” said Weidman, who also compared Hall's style to Spider's.

Chris Weidman was one of two fighters who won Uriah Hall to this day – the TUF participant has won his other seven fights. Weidman beat Hall by technical knockout at Ring of Combat 31, on September 24, 2010. Uriah's other loss came to another athlete who is now in the UFC, Cypriot Costa Philippou, also with ROC.

The New Yorker Chris Weidman, 28 years old, will challenge the champion Anderson Silva, for the Ultimate middleweight title, on July 6th, at UFC 162. To date, the undefeated Weidman has won the nine fights he has had – five of them for the biggest MMA organization on the planet.
