A decorated kickboxer will take on a phenomenal Jiu-Jitsu specialist, Antonio Carlos Junior (10-3-0-1), who is looking to quickly bounce off his last loss against Ian Heinisch.

Rd 3 – Hall immediately establishes the jab and just misses with the wheel kick! Carlos presses forward and secures the takedown. He immediately takes the back and starts working for submissions.
