LAS VEGAS – UFC middleweight Uriah Hall had a major health scare when a recent weight cut went awry prior to his most recent fight. Now, Hall (13-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) is taking steps to make sure he never repeats the same experience. A combination of lifestyle changes and medication could be the key in advance of a fight against Paulo Costa (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) at UFC 226. “I’m a lot better now because I understand what was the issue and I’m attacking it,” he told MMAjunkie at Palace Station Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, where he was helping a teammate who auditioned for “The Ultimate Fighter 28.” Hall collapsed on the way to the scales for a fight against Vitor Belfort at UFC Fight Night 124. Although he’d made weight moments before, he suffered acute kidney failure and began convulsing in an elevator on the way to the weigh-ins. UFC officials quickly pulled him from the fight.
