Hall is coming off two back to back wins against Antonio Carlos Jr. and Bevon Lewis after losing to Paulo Henrique Costa at UFC 226. Clearly, he is in a great place both mentally and physically, and Hall would very much like to make use of it and avenge his first-round TKO loss to Brunson.
Hall on posing a threat to Brunson
Right now, Hall is pretty confident about having what it takes to defeat the Brunson if the rematch happens. He also claims that in the last fight, Brunson did a poor and sloppy job of winning and had the referee, Herb Dean’s help with an early stoppage.
Although it would be an opportunity for Hall to equal the head-to-head score, for him it is more like clearing an obstruction on his way to the top. Hall said that he wanted the fight because it makes ‘perfect sense’ since both of them were on a winning streak and would make great contenders for the Middleweight division.
Hall also said that he is ready for the fight before the year ends, if Brunson is up for it, and he is quite positive of the result at the end of it as he says with conviction, “He’s not going to be champ.”
Whether UFC will book the fight or not, only time will tell.
