Why was UFC insisting to make Anderson - Hall?

I mean, Anderson is a legend, like it or not.

Hall is just a good but forgettable fighter. And he is old.

Am I missing something here?

 

Vs

 

Stylistically fun as fuck fight, that's all.

I'd expect Uriah to go rabbit in the headlights like usual, though.

 

It would be exciting in 2010 and 2020. That's still a fun fight.

 

I would prefer to see Anderson vs Shogun

 

Don't worry, they are listening and reading. Not only will they not make that exciting fight, they'll raise you 3 WMMA in place of it.

 

Isn't Hall fighting Jacare?

 

Bro Silva is a bit washed up. Who should he fight, seriously, a top 5 again and lose. Sounds like a fun fight to watch, I'm in

 

Hall has really been letting his hands go lately. He stunned Costa multiple times.

 

It's a loser leaves town match. Whoever loses is getting force retired/ cut.

 

I guess you like word 'insist'

 

Hall was an up and comer at the time, both were physically similar, exiting and explosive and I think they thought Hall might have been a future prospect for them. So at the time it seemed like a good idea.
