I just read a question about degeneracy pressure and collapsing white dwarfs. When the dwarfs have a certain mass (say that they have become fat dwarfs) the degeneracy pressure will lose the battle with gravity and collapse to a neutron star. Which in its turn, if it has eaten enough, will collapse into a black hole. All the particles constituting the neutron star will end up at a point, theoretically. Won't the uncertainty principle prevent the last stage of this collapse? Won't some kind of "uncertainty pressure" appear?

What I ask is not if the uncertainty principle applies to a black hole that has already formed (as does the question of which this is supposed to be a duplicate). I ask if the UP doesn't prevent the collapse to a hole.
