ended and now UFC on Fox 3 is on cards.

from him especially the knockout victory over Aaron Riley. His last 6 victories have been straight in a row with the most prominent one being a decision victory over Yves Edwards by the end of 2011.
On the other hand, Dennis Hallman holds 51 wins, 14 losses, 2 draws and 1 No Contest decision in his portfolio. He was once among the best fighters of UFC but suddenly went down the rails. He has been in the field for more than 16 years and is known as the
‘Superman’ of UFC.
Moreover, the fighter has more than 40 self-made submission moves in his name and recently he has set an 8-2 win/loss record for his career.
UFC on Fox 2 was enthralling with fights like Bisping vs. Sonnen and others. UFC on Fox 3 until now seems to be reaching the mark, if it does, it will be a second treat from the organisation to its fans around the globe.
