Jake Paul and Anderson Silva will have a football versus MMA match.
Bell will face Hall in a boxing match in October.
Both men can't weigh more than 200 pounds on weigh-in day, as the contest has been contracted at 195 pounds. Bell and Hall will be wearing gloves that are 10 ounces. The card is being promoted by Paul's Most ValuablePromotions.
"I'm just as excited to watch Hall versus Bell as I am to watch Paul versus Silva," said Most Valuable promotions co- founder. A world-class athlete who has proven he has true boxing skills and knockout power faces a legit top 10 MMA fighter. The fight elevated our pay-per-view to a new level and these guys will put on an unforgettable fight for the fans in the stands.
Bell called out Paul for fighting small men with no boxing experience. Bell decided not to play in the football season in order to explore his future in boxing. The four-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler knocked out his opponent in the fifth round. Bell has been training at a gym in Los Angeles.
Bell said that he didn't care who the opponent was as long as he joined the Paul- Silva pay-per-view. Uriah Hall is going to feel my punching power and tap out. He is different from me.
Bell has less combat sports experience than Hall and is a black belt in karate. The fighter from Jamaica who grew up in New York and now trains at Fortis MMA in Dallas is a seventeen year pro in MMA and spent nine years in the UFC. In August, Hall announced his retirement from the promotion after losing his second fight in a row.
He has always been known for his strength. He was a top prospect when he was on The Ultimate Fighter. While in the UFC, Hall would turn his opponents' lights out. His eightKO/TKO victories are tied with Anderson Silva and Thiago Silva for the most in the history of the promotion.
Hall hoped that Le'Veon Bell brought his best. I know I'll do it.
One of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, Silva, who holds the record for most consecutive victories in UFC history, will face off against Paul, a pro boxer who is now 5-5 as a boxer. Chris Avila, a UFC and Bellator veteran, takes on a doctor named Doctor Mike Varshavski, and 18-year-old prospect Ashton Sylve faces a veteran in a tough test.
Paul said that Bell vs. Hall could be an opponent for himself.
Adding Le'Veon Bell to the card increases this fight's star power and to have him go head-to-head with a fighter as experienced and dangerous as Hall is going to be fireworks. Bell looks like a force to be reckoned with after his knockout of Adrian Peterson and taking on this challenge is proof that he is serious about boxing. Hall has proven himself many times in the UFC and we know what he can do.
