Uriah Hall has added another highlight finish to his reel by using his favorite technique.
The UFC veteran stepped into the Karate Combat pit for the second time to take on Jayden Eynaud, and recorded his first finish since facing Chris Weidman at UFC 261. The fight served as the feature bout of Karate Combat 59, which took place at Telemundo Center in Miami.

Hall patiently waited for his openings, working a snappy jab as Eynaud presented a higher volume of offense. It all came to a screeching halt when Hall saw an opening for a spinning back kick to the liver, causing a delayed reaction. After the kick connected, Eynaud appeared good to go, but then he buckled over in pain, and began retreating from Hall, who swarmed for the TKO.
Check out video of the finish below:
Hall is now 2-0 in Karate Combat. His first fight was a unanimous decision win against fellow UFC veteran Markus Perez, who also competed at the event. Since exiting the UFC in 2022, Hall split results in the boxing ring before stepping into the pit, which seems like the perfect discipline for Hall to unleash more of his flashy kicks that caught everyone’s attention during Season 17 of “The Ultimate Fighter.”
