#4. Hall finishes Chris Leben - UFC 168

Uriah Hall made a statement when he defeated former TUF alum Chris Leben at UFC 168. After spectacular finishes on TUF, Hall had a rough start to his tenure in the promotion. He lost to Kelvin Gastelum on the TUF season 17 finale and then lost a second straight bout to John Howard. He turned things around and ended 2013 on a positive note.

'Primetime' was a lot more aggressive against Leben than he was in his previous two bouts. He dropped 'The Crippler' with a knee in the early moments of the fight and followed up by landing powerful jabs. He was clearly in control of the fight, and Leben didn't have an answer to his combinations.

Hall dropped Leban again toward the end of the first round and was closing in on a finish. It seemed as though Leben would be saved by the bell. The referee stopped the bout in between rounds because 'The Crippler' was unable to continue.


#3. Hall finishes Anderson Silva - UFC Fight Night 181

Hall's knockout win against Anderson Silva was arguably the biggest win of his UFC career. The promotion attempted to book the fight in 2016, but the former middleweight champion was forced to withdraw due to gallbladder surgery.

In 2020, it was announced that 'The Spider' would be retiring from the sport following his bout with Hall. Silva looked great in the first and second rounds as he was dictating the pace and landing his body kicks. 'Primetime' then regrouped and won most of the exchanges in the third round and ended up dropping his opponent with a powerful right hook. Silva did enough to survive the end of the third round.

In the fourth round, Hall caught Silva rushing in and made him pay for it. He dropped him with a right hook and then landed hammer fists and a flurry of straight rights before the referee stopped the bout. The two embraced after the bout as Hall paid respect to Silva for his Hall of Fame-worthy career.
