UFC Vegas 51 needs a new co-main event and quickly.
Veteran middleweight Uriah Hall has withdrawn from his April 16th matchup with Andre Muniz for reasons not yet disclosed, per MMA Fighting. The UFC is looking for a replacement to take on Muniz, but time is obviously running short with just two weeks to go before fight night.
Hall (17-10) had his four-fight winning streak ended in a five-round unanimous decision loss to Sean Strickland last July. During his winning run, the 37-year-old notably knocked out Anderson Silva in the legendary former champion’s final UFC fight, and rallied to KO Bevon Lewis.
