Karate Combat today announced the signing of Uriah Hall, one of MMA’s most explosive strikers and most recognizable names. Hall, known worldwide for his highlight-reel knockouts and dynamic fighting style, is now set to enter The Pit and bring his striking skills to the fastest-growing combat sports league.
“Prime Time” Hall first made global headlines with one of the most viral knockouts in combat sports history against Adam Cella during The Ultimate Fighter. With a 76% knockout rate, a former UFC Top 10 middleweight ranking, and TKO victories over two former UFC champions – Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman – Uriah Hall arrives in KC as one of the most dangerous strikers of his generation.
“Striking isn’t what I do it’s who I am… precision, timing, control – that’s the art,” said Hall. “Karate Combat gives me the space to let the lion hunt…pure, clean and unleashed”
Karate Combat President Asim Zaidi added:
“Uriah Hall is a world-class striker and a fan favorite. This is an incredible signing for us. Uriah Hall’s addition to our roster shows that KC is where elite strikers come to prove themselves. This is a huge moment for the sport and our fans.”
Hall’s debut fight in The Pit will be announced soon.
