Belfort (26-13) is coming off a controversal unanimous decision victory over Nate Marquardt at UFC 212 which was his first win since Nov. 2015. The 40-year-old will look for back-to-back wins for the first time since 2013. Hall (13-8) is coming off an incredable come from behind win over Krzysztof Jotko at UFC Fight Night 116. The win snapped Hall’s three-fight skid.
