Former Ultimate Fighter runner-up and UFC middleweight contender, Uriah Hall, proved he still has something left in the tank last night (Fri., Feb. 13, 2026) at Karate Combat 59<\/a> from inside Telemundo Center in Miami, Fla., as \u201cPrimetime\u201d put a brutal stop to his opponent with a spinning back kick TKO in the very first round.<\/p>\n

Hall, who turns 42 later this summer, made a successful Karate Combat debut last October with a unanimous decision win over fellow UFC veteran Markus Perez. Fight fans may have wanted a finish from Hall, but his arrival was still a welcomed sight for the pit. Hall would have a second opportunity to turn in a more impressive performance on Friday night and the former UFC standout did exactly that.<\/p>\n

Standing in his way was unknown Australian fighter, Jayden Eynaud, who was riding a two-fight Karate Combat losing streak \u2014 both via devastating knockout or TKO \u2014 coming into this weekend. Eynaud was hoping to play spoiler and deliver a big upset to begin the new year, but he ultimately met his demise with seconds left in the first round after Hall unloaded a nasty spinning back kick. The kick hit Eynaud flush and left him keeled over. That\u2019s when \u201cPrimetime\u201d moved in for the finishing touches and the eventual TKO stoppage.<\/p>\n

It was an impressive showing for Hall who is hoping to climb the Karate Combat ladder in 2026 and fight his way towards a title shot. Friday\u2019s spinning back kick finish is a great start and can be seen below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Ultimate Fighter runner-up and UFC middleweight contender, Uriah Hall, proved he still has something left in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,40762,785,85,1396],"class_list":["post-479861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
