Anderson Silva's final UFC opponent Uriah Hall once knocked out a fighter with a brutal spinning hook kick in a move Dana White described as "one of the nastiest" he's ever seen.

Hall scored a devastating victory over Adam Cella on 'The Ultimate Fighter 17: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen' in 2013.

He stopped Cella in their contest in the first round with a spinning hook kick that immediately knocked him out cold.

A stunned White jumped out of his seat as the rest of the fighters looked on in disbelief as Cella remained on the canvas for a worryingly long time.

Jones' fighter received medical treatment before regaining consciousness. He eventually got back to his feet and embraced with Hall.

Speaking after Hall's win over Cella, the UFC boss said: "I was impressed with Cella. Cella went right out after him.

"He was striking with him but Uriah had vicious knees, his stand-up is good, his kicks are unbelievable.

"He has this way of moving his body that you can't tell what he's going to do. Is he going to kick? Is he going to punch?"

He added: "One of the nastiest knockouts I've ever seen in the fight business, let alone on the Ultimate Fighter."

Hall went onto defeat Bubba McDaniel and Dylan Andrews to reach the final, but failed to beat Kelvin Gastelum.

He went onto carve out a career in the UFC yet never really set the Octagon alight.
