Vitor Belfort reacts to losing fight with Uriah Hall at the last minute!

Earlier today news broke that dangerous knockout artist Uriah Hall had failed to show up for the UFC Fight Night 124 weigh ins, which forced the promotion to cancel his co-main event scrap with Vitor Belfort.

According to a report from MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani, Uriah Hall had apparently fainted on route to today’s official weigh ins in St. Louis and was then transported to a nearby hospital.

“Update on Uriah Hall: according to sources, he was on weight and headed to the weigh-ins this AM. That’s when he fainted. Looked scary, I’m told. Taken to the hospital. He’s feeling better and awake. Doctors are doing tests.”

Former UFC champion Vitor Belfort, who was planning on hanging up the gloves following his scrap with Hall, recently took to Instagram where he reacted to today’s scary news.
