Hall must be losing muscle mass after having to stop roids after the new drug laws take place. Guys like Vitor will be at 170 soon

Hall is clearly ducking Kelvin Gastellum.

The Tennessean Staff said:
Welterweight UFC bout set for Bridgestone
Fan favorite Uriah Hall will face veteran Joe Riggs in a three-round welterweight bout at UFC Fight Night on Aug. 8 at Bridgestone Arena.
Hall (11-5) had won three straight bouts before losing a close split decision to Rafael Natal in May. Riggs (40-15, 1 NC) is seeking his first win since returning to UFC in December for the first time in eight years.
Also on the card that night are bantamweights Frankie Saenz and Sirwan Kakai; Franklin High graduate Dustin Ortiz, 26, and Ian McCall in the 125-pound flyweight division; and No. 6-ranked light heavyweight Ovince Saint Preux, a former University of Tennessee linebacker, against No. 5 Glover Teixeira.

So Hall, a guy that can't put his entire game together who some label as mentally weak will add on the challenge of cutting lots of weight. Most of which on his frame will be muscle mass. Alright then.

Plus 2 out of 3 of his UFC losses were against guys who fight mainly at 170, but had to move up for other reasons.

Just heard JRE podcast with vinny shoreman, kickboxing commentator and hypnotist/ mental coach. If anyone is in need of a sports psychologist or mental coach it's Hall.

99% chance Riggs will pull out of this fight.

Cutting to 170 is the worst f---ing idea Hall has ever had. He looks perfectly fine at 185... physically. All he has to do is get out of his own head, and he can become a serious stud in the UFC. Sucking the water out of his system will just cause him to make more bad choices.

Who the f--- told Hall it was be a good idea to drop to 170? How is he going to make 170?

looks like Riggs is moving up to middleweight:

Methinks that the Jamaican will make a patty out of Riggs' face.

That makes more sense.. Hall would have to lose large amounts of muscle to make 170.
