Uriah Hall Relishing Time Spent As A Mentor At Make A Wish

Hall, who is currently on a two-fight winning streak, has also spent much of 2019 interacting with charities and delivering positive motivational speeches to children of all ages throughout the United States. In October, Hall spoke to members of After-School All-Stars of Tampa and participated in an opioid awareness seminar in Harlem, New York in November.

“I’ve had the great opportunity to speak to some of our youth recently about the importance of having a positive, ‘never-give-up’ attitude,” noted Hall. “Facing adversity head on, standing your ground, and never giving up are three qualities that we have to instill in our youth, as they are our future. We also have to teach them to have compassion and be able to pay things forward.”

UFC has partnered with Make-A-Wish on several events and campaigns, most recently hosting the local Southern Nevada’s World Wish Day event in April. The event, where more than 20 Make-A-Wish kids received their “Ultimate Wish” served as Hall’s introduction to the global program.
