Five-time UFC veteran Dennis “Superman” Hallman (41-13-2 MMA, 1-4 UFC)
will return to the lightweight division for the first time in nine
years and plans to fight in late spring or early summer.
The 13-year mixed martial arts veteran said he made the decision after
John Howard pulled off a come-from-behind victory in a welterweight
contest at “The Ultimate Fighter 10” finale this past December.
“I just got into phenomenal shape and I can’t keep on weight,” Hallman
on Wednesday told MMAjunkie.com. “I was weighing
167 pounds (before the fight) and I was literally drinking water while
I was waiting to weigh-in for John Howard.
