Ryan Hall is undefeated inside the UFC Octagon. He won The Ultimate Fighter 22 with a dominant showing over Artem Lobov. He defeated one of the division’s true veterans in his next outing, outpointing Gray Maynard while suffering just 12 significant strikes.
But that last win came all the back in December 2016, and since then, Hall has been an absent figure from the game.
His time away from MMA is now set to end on Dec. 29 when he faces living legend B.J. Penn at UFC 232, but Hall’s two-year hiatus was never purposeful.
