5 Predictions For UFC 193: Ronda Rousey Vs. Holly Holm
4. Robert Whittaker vs. Uriah Hall
Weight Class: Middleweight Uriah Hall (125) is coming off the biggest win of his career, and one of the most exciting - a jumping spinning back kick leading to a TKO of Gegard Mousasi in Japan this past September. Hall is stepping in here to replace the injured Micahel Bisping against Robert Whittaker (144), the TUF: Smashes winner back in 2012. Whittaker is on a solid three fight win streak right now, but Hall, frankly, has more upside as a fighter if he can put it all together in the cage. Prior to catching Mousasi in the second round of their September fight, however, Hall had been struggling. If Whittaker can follow a similar game plan of taking Hall to the ground, he has a chance. If he is lured into a striking battle, chances are Hall will come out on top. Look for Hall to score a knockout here. It's now or never for him, as he still has some of the hype from his stellar Ultimate Fighter appearance.
