The UFC featherweight suffered his second professional loss at UFC 264 on Saturday night. 

Ryan Hall made his return to the Octagon at UFC 264 and it did not go as planned for the jiu-jitsu ace.

Hall fought on the preliminary portion of the event and met Ilia Topuria, an undefeated featherweight prospect with a propensity for finishing fights quickly. And he did exactly that after thwarting much of the awkward attacks from Hall, who tried his absolute best to get the fight to the ground where he is most comfortable.

Topuria remained calm and ended up taking full advantage of an off-balance Hall who just uncorked a spinning kick aimed at his opponent’s head during the closing seconds of the opening round. Hall was knocked to the ground and Topuria immediately followed him to the canvas, where he started unloading some heavy ground-and-pound until Hall was completely out.

Hall saw his four-fight win streak come to an abrupt end, but his formerly pristine UFC record was not the only thing that suffered on Saturday night. Hall addressed the loss to Topuria on social media and revealed he sustained an injury not long after the fight started.

“Well, that was going reasonably well until it wasn’t,” wrote Hall. “Headlock [with] 20 seconds left was a little ballsier than necessary…Thanks so much to all the people whose help, guidance, and support allowed me to have the opportunity to get back to doing what I love. Without them, I could never have made it to the ring.

“Broke my hand on the first punch landed, but cant wait to heal up, adjust, and be back again soon,” continued Hall.

An update on the status of his hand has not been provided at the time of this writing, but it is likely that Hall could be on the sidelines for some time as he recuperates from the unfortunate injury. Hall now holds an overall professional record of 8-2.

Linn County Sheriff

Authorities found Fulton hanging in his jail cell but will not release further details until their investigation is complete.

Former UFC fighter Travis Fulton was expected to plead guilty to federal child pornography charges in a hearing set for July 23 in Iowa. Instead, “The Ironman” was found dead inside Linn County Jail in what is being called an apparent suicide.

That’s according to The Gazette.

The 44 year-old Fulton, already scheduled for trial in September regarding a separate domestic violence case, was arrested last February on felony sexual exploitation charges involving two victims under the age of 18.

“The Ironman” was also on the hook for possession of child porn.

Fulton, 43, holds a professional recored of 255-54-10 with one “no contest.” He was last seen securing a submission win (forearm choke) over Shannon Ritch at the M-1 Global “Road to M-1: USA 2” event back in April 2019.

His final UFC appearance came in a unanimous decision victory against David Dodd at UFC 21: “Return of the Champions” in summer 1999, a card headlined by the heavyweight rematch between Maurice Smith and Marco Ruas.
