Belfort 26-13, 1 NC snapped a three-fight winless stretch with a unanimous decision over Nate Marquardt at UFC 212. It marked the first time since 2007 that he d won by decision, or indeed gone the distance at all. After indications were made that he d retire, Belfort reversed course and said that he still has several fights left on his UFC contract, and that he wishes to continue his career.
Hall 13-8 is coming off a come-from-behind TKO vs. Krzysztof Jotko at UFC Pittsburgh in September. He d previously been on a three-fight losing streak, albeit against top competition in the form of Robert Whittaker, Derek Brunson, and Gegard Mousasi. All but one of Hall s six UFC wins have come by TKO.
The current UFC rankings place Hall at #10 and Belfort at #11 in the 185-pound division.
