Dennis Lloyd Hallman (born December 2, 1975) is an American professional mixed martial artist from the U.S. state of Washington. A former state champion wrestler, Hallman is known best for his expertise as a grappler. He has appeared in many fight organizations, including UFC, Strikeforce, IFL, Shooto, Rumble on the Rock, and King of the Cage. Hallman holds notable wins over Karo Parisyan, Matt Hughes and Ben Saunders.
MMA career
Hallman vs. Matt Hughes
One of Hallman's biggest achievements are his two wins (both by submission in a combined 38 seconds) over former UFCHall of famer welterweight champion Matt Hughes. Their first fight occurred in 1998 at Extreme Challenge 21, the second in December 2000 at UFC 29: Defense of the Belts.
Hallman and Jens Pulver
After his second victory over Matt Hughes, Hallman moved down in weight and fought Hughes' teammate Jens Pulver for the lightweight UFC championship in September 2001. Both Hallman and Pulver wrestled at the high school level in Washington. Hallman claimed to know Pulver since high school and expressed dislike toward the fighter. Although Pulver denied knowing Hallman personally, he knew of Hallman through their state champion wrestling careers (at different weight classes).
During the fight Hallman attempted an armbar on Pulver (the same move he used to defeat Hughes in their second meeting), but Pulver countered the technique and followed with his trademark left hook which landed flush on Hallman's chin. Hallman was not able to recover completely from the blow, fighting very passively for the remainder of the bout (which eventually resulted in a unanimous decision loss). Hallman later stated in interviews that he simply wanted to survive the fight after receiving the blow.
UFC return
Hallman made his return to the UFC against John Howard on December 5, 2009, at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale.[1] He lost via third round KO.
Hallman then announced that he would try and move down to lightweight.[2]
Hallman then signed to face Ben Saunders in a welterweight bout on August 7, 2010 at UFC 117.[3] Hallman defeated Saunders via unanimous decision.
Hallman faced returning UFC veteran Karo Parisyan on November 20, 2010 at UFC 123.[4] Hallman defeated Parisyan by TKO due to strikes after he staggered Parisyan with a stiff right, then finished with hammerfists. The win brought his record to 2-1 in his current UFC run.
Hallman was expected to face TJ Waldburger on March 26, 2011 at UFC Fight Night 24.[5] However, Hallman was forced out of the bout with a knee injury and replaced by Johny Hendricks.[6]
On January 15, 2011, it was announced that Hallman has extended his UFC contract for four additional UFC fights.[7]
Hallman faced Brian Ebersole on August 6, 2011 at UFC 133.[8] He lost the fight via TKO in the first round. Wearing particularly skimpy purple shorts during the fight, in a ground battle Hallman's left testicle was briefly exposed, eliciting chants of "Put some clothes on" from the crowd and call for regulation of fighter shorts from UFC President. Hallman has since stated that he wore the shorts as a result of losing a bet. Dana White.[9]
Hallman is expected to face John Makdessi on December 10, 2011 at UFC 140.[10]
Personal life
Hallman has three sons, Ryley, Richie, and Jayden and a daughter named Kylar, who was born in December 2008.[11]
He has Coeliac Disease, an autoimmune digestive reaction to wheat gluten, which hindered his ability to recover properly from physical activities such as training and fighting.[12]
