<p>In Tokyo for his UFC Fight Night bout with Gegard Mousasi, Urijah Hall spoke out against media and his thought that they accentuate the negative:</p>
“I haven’t seen any downs (in my career), really; it’s only downs when you believe and start to listen to the media, because the media is usually bullsh-t and they usually come up with sh-t that makes no sense,” Hall told MMAjunkie. “They will never step in your shoes for a day, no less a second, but they can write a story to think that they know you. I was at that point where I used to believe the media, but the media is bullsh-t, and people who are negative are bullsh-t.”
With so much of the MMA news cycle taking place on the Internet and fight promotions such as UFC pushing athletes to have a social media presence, it’s not easy to push all the distractions aside. Hall says he’s found the formula to make that happen, though, and now he’s able to focus on three things important to success: fighting, winning and learning.
“The first step in doing stuff like that is being honest; I’m honest with myself and I’m honest with everybody else,” Hall says. “I’ve been doing something in (2015), and it’s called being honest, and the first step is being honest with yourself.

So the media is bullshit because he doesn't think there has been any downs in his career? A losing streak is considered by 99% of people to be a down but the big bad evil media is out to get him.
I like Uriah but damn he's a head case sometimes. I'd love to see him get a win over Mousasi but I think he'll have beat himself mentally long before entering the cage.
Interested to see this fight, hope Gegard keeps it standing for selfish reasons, and to see how good Hall's striking really is... but the smart bet is he takes him down off well timed shots after he times Halls strikes and winds up submitting him or winning a decision
