RYAN HALL VS DARRICK MINNER LOWDOWN

Ryan Hall (8-2) is coming off of a defeat to Ilia Topuria back in July. Prior to the defeat to Topuria, Hall hadn't lost a professional fight since 2006. The submission artist will be looking to put his recent defeat behind him by getting back on the win column this weekend.

As for Darrick Minner (26-12), he himself is also coming off of a defeat and will be desperate to get back in the win column. After suffering a defeat to Darren Elkins in his last fight, Minner is now 3-2 in his last five fights. A win over Hall will definitely boost Minner's confidence going forward in the featherweight division.

RYAN HALL VS DARRICK MINNER PREDICTION

In recent times, when two wrestlers/ grapplers go toe to toe, they tend to keep the fight on the feet and try to outstrike each other. However, this weekend, that won't be the case. When you look at both Hall and Minner, they're both always chasing submissions in their fights.

When you look at Hall's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accolades, they're clear of Minner's. Therefore, we suspect Hall will look to chase a submission early and finish Minner.
