Uriah Hall Weighs In on Potential Karate Combat Move: Will It Ever Happen?

Uriah Hall, the dynamic striker known for his spectacular knockouts, has opened up about the possibility of signing with Karate Combat. After a career filled with highs and lows in the UFC, Hall has been exploring new opportunities, and Karate Combat seemed like a natural fit for his skill set. However, despite mutual interest, a deal has yet to materialize.

Hall, who has a strong karate background, has been in discussions with Karate Combat multiple times. He attended Karate Combat 52 and shared his candid thoughts about why the move hasn’t happened yet. According to him, the promotion may see him as too dominant for their roster.

“I think they just think I’m just too good for the league,” Hall told . “That’s the only thing I can think about. Because I’ve spoken to them back-and-forth and I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it.’ I think they think I’ll probably come in and wipe out the entire division and leave. That wasn’t a plan of mine. But I just feel like there’s nobody in here. There’s literally nobody in here. But it’s karate. It’s my background. I’m still puzzled. But they like to dck you around, so I’m like, ‘Fck it.’ It’s stupid. It’s really stupid.”

Hall’s frustration was evident as he continued to express his desire to compete but also his disappointment with how things have unfolded.

“… I would love to. I would love. They don’t me because they have issues for some fcking reason. I’d love to. I reached out to them. But they like to dck me around. I’m like, ‘What am I chasing a girl?’ So, whatever. … It would be fun. It would be fun. At the end of the day, I respect any man who comes out here and fights because it takes a lot. But to me, this is not even a competition. … Stop d*cking me around and y’all do it.”

The back-and-forth between Hall and Karate Combat suggests that while there is potential for a deal, something is holding it back. Whether it’s concerns over competitive balance or internal politics within the promotion, Hall remains in limbo. Fans would undoubtedly love to see him showcase his striking skills in a pure karate setting, but for now, the wait continues.
