Ryan Hall (8-1-0, 2-0-0 UFC) got his start by winning The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale, having defeated Artem Lobov. Highly regarded as a submission specialist, Hall has won three of his eight victories via submission. Hall has seen his last three scheduled bouts cancelled, including two scheduled against Ricardo Lamas in 2020, and most recently versus Dan Ige set for March 13th. He will now make his long-awaited return against the undefeated Topuria.
Ilia Topuria (10-0-0, 2-0-0 UFC) is one of the hottest prospects in the sport currently as he remains undefeated with a record of 10-0.

He is coming off wins over Damon Jackson and Youssef Zalal and will be knocking on the door of the featherweight rankings with a win over Hall.
