Hall is on a three-fight win streak with his latest win coming against UFC legend Anderson Silva on UFC Fight Night: Hall vs Silva. Adesanya recently showed his intention to move back to Middleweight after winning the title.

If this case is true, Uriah Hall also wants a piece of Adesanya and he also made a bold prediction for their fight. Speaking to MMA journalist James Lynch, Hall says, “Perfect. It’s perfect. It’s like a Japanese anime. He’s the Naruto, I’m Goku, and I’m going to f*ck him up,”

“But I’m not going to take anything away from him from what he’s done. You know, everyone has their own journey to get there. You know, I had my own journey to get to the rankings system, to get to certain people. He had his way, Kelvin Gastelum had his way.”

“I mean, it’s like a race. I love that matchup because I just know his style. He’s outclassing these guys because they’re not dynamic strikers. They’re scared of his height, and they’re scared of the hype. So when he goes out there he dismantles them.”

This is a very bold prediction from Uriah Hall who holds 8 losses in his UFC carrier against someone like Adesanya who holds a record of perfect 9-0 in his UFC carrier.
