  • UFC middleweight fighter Uriah Hall rates nine mixed-martial-arts scenes in movies and television, such as "Warrior" and "Attack on Titan," for realism.
    Hall breaks down the kickboxing techniques in "Kickboxer," (1989) starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. He also explains the importance of fighting rhythm and strategies in "Black Widow" (2021), "John Wick: Chapter 2" (2017), and "Blood and Bone," (2009) starring Michael Jai White. He comments on the accuracy of fights in the octagon in "Warrior" (2011), "Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown" (2011), and "Bruised" (2021), starring Halle Berry. He also explains the accuracy of grappling moves in "Attack on Titan" (2013) and critiques his own performance in "Seized" (2020).
    Hall has martial-art backgrounds in boxing, kickboxing, Kyokushin karate, wrestling, and Brazilian jiujitsu. He is ranked No. 9 in the UFC middleweight rankings as of November 2021. He was also a runner-up on "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen."

      Wish they had done John Wick Chapter 3 instead of 2 though - has the best moment of storytelling through a fight scene I've ever seen in a movie. It's where they pay off the setup where he was required to remove his belt entering the assassin training school and uses his belt in the fight against the two younger, faster knife weilding dudes. He uses his belt to loop around their wrists and necks and give himself the Sambo grips and handles to throw them into each other and slow them down - a realistic use of a flexible weapon and a great adaptation to simulate grappling with a gi/jacket. Amazing, amazing choreography.

They already had a spot for him as the next Anderson Silva. Once he got handled and the comp got tougher he started to hold back and only does enough to have us all waiting for that big explosion the whole fight but....nothing.

      If you liked the video, you should give it a chance and check it out. For someone new to the combat sports world, I'd recommend trying ONE FC over UFC or Bellator. ONE is an Asian promotion that airs fight cards on UA-cam regularly. They also are way more diverse as they air Kickboxing, Submission Grappling, Muay Thai, as well as MMA matches whereas UFC and Bellator are just MMA. Who knows? You might even find out you like it!

      I have seen a couple of his fights so I knew he was a decent guy, the aftermath of his fight with Silva will tell you that, if nothing else. But this time I just felt like having a beer with the dude. And I don´t even like beer. But he seems easy to talk to, he is not taking himself too seriously. There is some distance and perspective to the self, so to speak. Some UFC guys creates personas to make a show of their career, Uriah is simply genuine and lets his fighting speak for itself.

    This is one of my favorite ones. Uriah brings so much knowledge, but also does an outstanding job of explaining the techniques and the context of the back and forth struggle in the grappling exchanges. Super well-versed and articulate. Imo, Uriah does an amazing job of analyzing the tactics and the overall kinetic chess match that is unfolding in a lot of these scenes. And he was fair and honest in appraising the theatricality and movie-esque, flashy maneuvers that a lot of martial arts movies are known for. Awesome job! I enjoyed this one a lot. Well done Uriah Hall

    As for the John Wick, with the lady not using her legs, in my not that long experience with some ju-jitsu pratice beginners often forget their legs. Rolling with random partners at a meet I noticed several people (men and women) just freezing up and not using their legs against me, either as leverage or for even the most basic hold on my legs. Legs are strong, use them! Kick me off you, use them to power an escape, try a hold.
    A seasoned assassin should of course know this, especially a woman - she's at a disadvantage against a man in arm strength but her legs will often be a lot closer in power.

    I remember Uriah Hall in The Ultimate Fighter. Right from the prelims he looked like a beast. He destroyed every opponent he got in the show. In the prelims he broke the guy's arm with a kick. In the show, first opponent, he did one of the most violent KO I've ever seen in MMA. Second one he triple-fractured the guys face with ONE punch. Third one he was on the bottom and FORCED his opponent to turn on his back by hitting him with his fists FROM THE BOTTOM, where it's so hard to generate power.
    Unfortunately, in the final, he faced a former teammate and it was very hard for him to go past that teammate/friendship barrier. He was a very emotional fighter. Like, the first guy he KOed and sent to the hospital, you could see he was so emotionally scarred by it. Very humane and nice guy, but also one of the hardest kicker I've seen.
