On the undercard of UFC 232, long-time UFC middleweight contender Uriah Hall was tasked with welcoming ferocious middleweight prospect Bevon Lewis to the Octagon.

This fight did not begin well for Uriah Hall. In fact, the Ultimate Fighter veteran was probably down two rounds heading into the third. Thanks to a blistering, third-round punch, however, it didn’t matter.

Mid-way through the third frame, Hall left his foe supine on the canvas with a thunderous right hook, and that was all she wrote.

“I didn’t understand his range at the beginning,” Uriah Hall said of the win in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. “He created an opening, I saw him get a little tired, he gave me an opening and that’s all I needed.”

Uriah Hall dedicated this incredible victory to his sister, who is struggling with depression. See this emotional moment below.

“I love you, and this world would not be the same with you,” he said to his sister.
