Former UFC middleweight Uriah Hall recently went off on a baffling expletive-laden rant against a fan who complimented him on social media.

A recent Twitter thread discussed knockouts in combat sports that had viewers scared for the losing fighter's life. One user responded with a quote-tweet of Hall's frightening head-kick KO of Adam Cella during The Ultimate Fighter season 17.

Another fan commented on the brutality of the KO and stated that Uriah Hall was probably scared of his own power.

In response to Hall's scathing reply to a clearly appreciative tweet, fans expressed their thoughts on the former UFC star's tweet in the comments section of his post.

When Uriah Hall claimed that Jake Paul is his ultimate goal in boxing

Uriah Hall once revealed that the controversial YouTube-turned-boxer Jake Paul was his dream boxing opponent and claimed that fight is what motivates him everyday.

Hall announced his retirement from MMA in August 2022, concluding a 19-fight run in the UFC. With a professional record of 17-11, 'Primetime' earned several high-profile wins in the octagon, including a fourth-round TKO stoppage of former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Before calling it a career, Hall was on a two-fight losing slide.

Hall later took up boxing and defeated former NFL star Le'Veon Bell in his professional boxing debut on the undercard of the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva event in October 2022.

In an interview with 'The Schmo' before his maiden boxing bout, Uriah Hall opened up on life post-MMA. When asked if he'd ever want to fight 'The Problem Child,' Hall stated:
