Uriah Hall

“You want to perform so badly for that crowd, or you worry too much about what others think of you. You don't want to lose.”

“What a lot of people didn't realize was I had stomach problems, which made it hard for me to digest food.”

“I can't rely on money or materialistic things. That's why I'm different.”

“I was inspired by video games and always thought, man, if I can pull something like that off that would be cool.”

“I was crafty. I was creative, and this creativity is something you have to feed. Of course, there was a portion in my career where I forgot about that creativity because when you start to listen to people, you start to listen to these negative affirmations, things, comments, or opinions that you slowly start to forget who you are.”

“Adesanya's picking his fights.”

“I'm the type of guy I have to be interested in something. If it's fun, if I see something that's challenging, then I'll do it. If it won't be challenging, then I won't do it.”

“I'm beyond competitive. You should see me playing video games.”

“I've knocked out guys with spinning kicks, I've learned other cool kicks.”

“When the bullying got really bad I was cutting school - didn't realize they were going to call your house. My mom got a call and was yelling at me. I kind of broke down and cried.”

“You can't just stumble around. I don't want to be a journeyman like that.”

“I'm confident in my world.”

“The mind is a big deal in this sport.”

“How is Arianny Celeste... she's a ring girl, right? How does she make more money than some of the fighters in the Octagon who are risking their lives? Doesn't make sense to me.”

“I know my goals. I know what I'm going to do.”

“I don't want to be fake. I was taught to be myself.”

“Honestly, and I'm sorry, I do not watch football.”

“Alone time is sitting down in a room, close the door, close your eyes and say, 'Alright Uriah, what's up?'”

“It's like, no one's really the best fighter in the world. It's the best fighter that day, that time, that moment. And that's what I love about MMA, because anybody can be beaten.”

“I hate fight week.”
