A surprising online feud has erupted between a former UFC fighter and a Married At First Sight star following his knockout victory.
After securing an impressive finish at Karate Combat 51 on Dec. 19, Jayden Eynaud called out the promotion president, demanding a $100,000 bonus.
Uriah Hall, known for retiring MMA legend Anderson Silva and his stunning spinning back kick KO on The Ultimate Fighter, responded to the clip:
“How about I knock him [Eynaud] out and you give him the hundred thousand.”

The three-time kickboxing world champion didn’t hold back, taunting the 40-year-old Hall:
“Quiet down old man, stop trying so hard to stay relevant, otherwise I'll have to ask Uncle Awesome [promotion president] to let me put you back in your rocking chair.”
Hall immediately shot back:
“I have no idea what that means but yeah, let me know when you are ready to scrap.” [h/t Daily Mail]
Eynaud is confident the bout could take place in early 2025, setting the stage for an intriguing clash between the MMA veteran and the fiery Aussie.
In addition to his combat sports career, Eynaud was once a contestant on Married At First Sight.
A look Into Anderson Silva's last fight in the UFC
Anderson Silva’s illustrious UFC career came to an emotional close in November 2020 when he faced Uriah Hall at UFC Fight Night 181 in Las Vegas.
In what would be his final UFC fight, Silva displayed flashes of his legendary form but ultimately fell to Hall via fourth-round TKO.
The bout began cautiously, with both fighters feeling each other out. Silva pushed the pace early, landing flurries and applying pressure. Hall remained composed, gradually finding his rhythm with sharp jabs and counters.
By the third round, Hall began landing significant shots, dropping Silva with a right hand just before the horn.
In the fourth frame, Hall secured the victory with another precise right hand, forcing referee Herb Dean to stop the fight at 1:24.
Hall subsequently paid tribute to Silva, calling it an honor to share the Octagon with the Brazilian legend, whose legacy as one of MMA’s greatest remains intact.
