UFC Fight Night: Mousasi vs. Hall 2
mixed martial arts event
UFC Fight Night: Mousasi vs. Hall 2 (also known as UFC Fight Night 99) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that was held on November 19, 2016 at The SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Background
The event was the second that the organisation hosted in Northern Ireland, with the first being UFC 72 in June 2007.
A welterweight bout between ranked contenders Dong Hyun Kim and Gunnar Nelson was expected to serve as the headlined of the event. However, on 21 October, it was announced that Nelson pulled out due to an injury and the fight was cancelled. Kim was rescheduled to compete at UFC 207. In turn, a middleweight rematch between former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Gegard Mousasi and Uriah Hall was announced as the new headliner. The pairing met previously in September 2015 at UFC Fight Night: Barnett vs. Nelson with Hall taking the victory via second round highlight reel TKO in what was considered a huge upset.
A lightweight bout between Ross Pearson and James Krause was originally booked for The Ultimate Fighter: Team Joanna vs. Team Cláudia Finale.

Why this record matters
The phrase “mixed martial arts event” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q27797250. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016, 2007 and 2015.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
