Almost in tears watch Uriah & Anderson embrace after the fight! Realizing that could be Anderson’s last go! Wow! #UFCVegas12 --

Thought Anderson started off beautifully but he lost his patience in both instances that he got dropped. Chased Hall with chin up and hands low. Hall did a great job of waiting for his opportunity to find his rhythm and find his chance to counter.
