Elias Theodorou: Twitter beef squashed when Uriah Hall agreed to fight Gegard Mousasi

Elias Theodorou

A quick glance at the MMA Twitter beef repository indicates the social media squabble between UFC middleweights Elias Theodorou and Uriah Hall has moved from active to squashed ahead of UFC Fight Night 75.

Things heated up between Theodorou and Hall back in June, when Theodorou let fly with a quip that Hall clearly didn’t find amusing.

Theodorou recently told MMAjunkie about the origin of his beef with Hall.

“It was just an incident that kind of happened at my last fight when I was cutting weight,” Theodorou said. “He was kind of mean-mugging me here and there, and I just kind of laughed it off because it’s a mental game.”

In Theodorou’s mind, things took a turn when Hall (11-5 MMA, 4-3 UFC) agreed to step up and fight Mousasi (37-5-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC), a former Strikeforce and DREAM champ who’s No. 7 in the NOS Energy Drink MMA middleweight rankings, in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 75 co-headliner – with a little more than four weeks’ notice.

“I’m actually real proud of Uriah Hall for stepping up and taking on Mousasi,” Theodorou said. “He honestly earned my respect and the fact that he would do that on short notice, stepping up in the direction that he needs to go. I look forward to seeing his hand raised.”

Another thing that may have helped these two put their issues behind them is the fact that they are now both represented by the same management team, Paradigm Sports Management.

Why divide, when we can conquer ?? Was an honor getting in those rounds with @UriahHallMMA before his next fight! pic.twitter.com/4cmrcqbN4C

Now, about those Twitter beefs Theodorou has with Sam Alvey, Alan Jouban and Cathal Pendred? Those remain open.
