The UFC is considered the pinnacle promotion in the world of MMA, making it an ideal platform for aspiring fighters to showcase their skills. Recently, promising boxer Bryce Hall revealed that he had a discussion with UFC CEO Dana White, which could potentially earn him a chance to fight in the promotion.
Recently, the combat sports community has seen several influencers stepping into the realm of combat sports. TikTok sensation and bare-knuckle fighter Bryce Hall has set his sights on the UFC. As such, he has claimed that a drunken conversation with White opened the door for a potential debut. In an appearance on The George Janko Show, Hall recounted how, after a few drinks, he approached the UFC CEO and pitched the idea of fighting in the octagon.
I said, ‘Hey if I win my next bare knuckle fight in impressive fashion, give me one fight in the UFC I don’t care about the pay.’ He (Dana White) goes, ‘Yeah, we can talk about it.’ Imagine me fighting in the UFC one time… I don’t care if it is a prelim. I just want to fight one time in the UFC.

According to Hall, the stipulations of his contract may resemble CM Punk‘s brief appearance in the UFC. In 2016, the WWE Superstar made a short-lived entry into the UFC. However, he left the promotion after suffering a defeat and experiencing a no-contest. Interestingly, Hall expressed a desire for a similar experience, as he simply wants the opportunity to compete in the UFC.

Interestingly, White has always been on the lookout for exciting talents. According to Hall, the UFC CEO accepted his proposal but imposed a condition. The Bare Knuckle fighter made headlines after his impressive victory at BKFC, where brutal and highly buzzed knockouts are common. Hall mentioned that White seemingly wants him to win his upcoming fight in the promotion, a test for him to earn the UFC contract.
Who is Bryce Hall fighting next?
Bryce Hall, the TikTok star, has tens of millions of followers on social media. Recently, he has developed an interest in fighting. Hall made his boxing debut in 2021 against YouTuber Austin McBroom, where he unfortunately suffered a defeat. However, following that, he bounced back and secured his first win in his BKFC debut last year.
Hall is set to face the son of one of the most famous street fighters of all time in what promises to be a significant BKFC event. He will be making his return to the squared circle to take on Kimbo Slice Jr. during the promotion’s annual Knuckle Mania event. The fight night is scheduled for January 25 in Philadelphia and will be headlined by Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens.
Hall has primarily competed in bare-knuckle boxing. On the other hand, Slice Jr., whose real name is Kevin Ferguson Jr., has a fighting background. He participated in six MMA fights under the Bellator banner before moving on to celebrity boxing. Interestingly, the recent revelation about a potential UFC contract for Hall has heightened the excitement surrounding this matchup.
