Similar to Jon Jones, it seems as if dude's stong suit are his kicks and not his straight up boxing, at least based on that fight last night. I'm sure Jon Jones told his fighter to press forward so that he was out of range of Uriah Hall's kicks and while his boxing wasn't that impressive, he did a great job of pressing forward. I'm amazed Uriah was able to pull that off since the leg than landed the kick wasn't fully extended. I'm sure the people that trained Uriah Hall in Tiger Schullman are very proud.
