The Brazilian’s middleweight clash with Uriah Hall was scrapped after Hall was unable to weigh in on Saturday. According to MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani, Hall fainted on his way to weigh-ins and was taken to a hospital.
Even though he lost a fight one day before it was scheduled to take place, Belfort took the situation in stride and wished his proposed opponent a speedy recovery. It is currently unclear if the UFC will attempt to rebook Belfort vs. Hall.
I dedicated [two] months for this training camp. Stayed away from my family and who knows me knows how hard this is for me,” Belfort wrote on Instagram. “I spent all necessary to have the best structure to achieve my goal. My team had an intense dedication even during the holidays. I did all my fight week obligations, cut the weight and made the fight weight. Unfortunately my opponent had a problem during his weight cut. I wish him a [quick] recovery @uriahhall . Now I just want to go back home and see my family. Thanks for all the support along this training camp. Love you all!!”
