He does his own thing. A week before the fight, he went to L.A. and was hanging out in L.A. in clubs and stuff. So, not good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe texted me (Sunday night),\u201d White continued. \u201cHe\u2019s back in his room. Obviously he\u2019s not good. And if you don\u2019t cut weight the right way and you don\u2019t do what you\u2019re supposed to do, this is what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White then explained that, if Hall has trouble making the middleweight division&#8217;s 186-pound limit, he should simply fight at light heavyweight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I think (Hall) needs to think about is fight at 205,\u201d White said. \u201cFight at 205 or show up and do what you\u2019re supposed to do. There\u2019s ways to cut weight properly and safely. You need to start doing that. That\u2019s why we are encouraging everybody to come to the UFC Performance Institute. That\u2019s why all the guys down there do what they\u2019re supposed to do and do it the right way, cut weight safely. The guys who don\u2019t listen, this is what happens. And much like Kelvin Gastelum and the Johny Hendricks and the other people out there \u2013\u00a0if you can\u2019t make that weight, then fight at the higher weight division.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Dana White&#8217;s comments on Uriah Hall?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 1\/15\/2018. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If things had gone according to plan, Uriah Hall would have battled the retiring Vitor Belfort in the co-main event of last night&#8217;s UFC St. Louis card.
