Gunnar Nelson injured, Gegard Mousasi vs. Uriah Hall 2 set to headline UFC Fight Night 99 in Belfast

According to a report by MMA Fighting, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight Gunnar Nelson has been forced out of his main event tilt with Dong Hyun Kim at UFC Fight Night 99 on Nov. 19 from Belfast, Northern Ireland. As a result, Gegard Mousasi and Uriah Hall will step in on short notice to serve as the replacement headliner.

If you remember, the two middleweights have met once before. In his most memorable performance of his MMA career, Hall handed Mousasi his first career loss by way of knockout back at UFC Fight Night 75 in 2015 doing so with a nasty second-round flying knee.
