Gegard Mousasi vs. Uriah Hall 2 to main event UFC Belfast with Gunnar Nelson out

The UFC's return to Northern Ireland is getting a significant reshuffling.
Gunnar Nelson
is injured and out of his main event with
Dong Hyun Kim
at UFC Fight Night 99 on Nov. 19 in Belfast, sources told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani. In that fight's place will be a new headliner: a rematch between
Gegard Mousasi
and
Uriah Hall
.
The extent of Nelson's injury is unclear at this time. The change has not yet been officially announced by the UFC.
Mousasi (40-6-2) is coming off a second-round TKO of
Vitor Belfort
at
UFC 204
earlier this month. The Dutchman has won three straight and his lone loss since 2014 came against Hall in September 2015 via spinning kick-flying knee TKO. Mousasi, 31, is one of the best middleweights in the world, but is taking a break from trying to move up in the rankings to avenge the loss.
Hall (12-7) has lost two straight, most recently a first-round TKO defeat against
Derek Brunson
last month. The New York native has not won since beating Mousasi last year. Hall, 32, is an alum of The Ultimate Fighter 17 and had won five of six before this current skid.
UFC Fight Night 99 does not have an official co-main event. On the card,
Ian McCall
will meet
Neil Seery
and
James Krause
takes on
Ross Pearson
.

Mousasi is going to blow his head off like he did Vitor.

Yeah if Mousasi can stay focused and locked in like he did against Vitor I see and early too stoppage. Plus Hall coming off short notice after tko loss

Mousassi will kill Uriah Hall in the first round and will show the world that their first fight was a fluke.

I guess this is the time to avenge that loss. All the relevant MW's are matched up.

Im curious with this, if Mousasi wins this does Hall get the pink slip? He will be 5-6 in the UFC on a three fight loosing skid

Never thought the rematch would happen but I'm glad it is. Mousassi is the way better martial artist and he'll prove that.

Not sure. Uriah Hall is cheap and is fighting for chump change. UFC can afford to keep him on. I don't like Hall and haven't since TUF, but he's rounding his game up nicely. Hes had some tough fights.
