samman

It’s being reported by several sources, that Canadian, Nick Ring (13-2) a TUF 11 alum, who is coming off defeating Josh Neer by decision; to end a 2 fight losing streak; is being forced off the UFC on Fox Sports 1 1 card. Ring’s opponent Uriah Hall (7-3) will instead have a showdown with fellow TUF 17 alum Josh Samman (10-2).

Uriah Hall became star on TUF 17 with highlight reel stoppages of stoppages and made his way to the finals, but at the TUF 17 Finale the nerves of the moment and the pressure of Kelvin Gastelum would halt the hall hype train; with a split decision loss.

Josh Samman made it to the semifinals of TUF 17 before losing to Kelvin Gastlum. Samman would bounce back to earn a 2nd round TKO win over Kevin Casey at the TUF 17 Finale. The entire TUF 17 season it felt like Samman and Hall where on a collision course to do battle in the final, but with Kelvin Gastlelum wrote his own ending to his Cinderella story. But for the people and the fighter still interested in the Samman vs. Hall match-up the time has come to see who is the better fighter.

UFC on Fox Sports 1 1 takes place on August 17, at TD Bank Garden Arena in Boston Massachusetts and is headlined by a Light Heavyweight scrap between former UFC and Pride champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs. the biggest trash talker in MMA Chael Sonnen.
