Not Dennis Hallman. Well, not anymore -- but that doesn't mean he won't be coming in skimpy for his UFC 140 bout opposite John Makdessi at the Air Canada Centre on Dec. 10 in Toronto, according to MMA Die Hards.
That's because "Superman" is darting into the phone booth at 170-pounds and coming out a lightweight, a quick-change transformation likely brought on by his hairy-chested kryptonite at UFC 133 last month in Philly.
Hallman was mounted and battered into a technical knockout stoppage by Brian Ebersole, snapping a two-fight win streak for "the guy Matt Hughes can't beat."
Anyone giving him a shot in the UFC's stacked 155-pound division?
If he expects to have any sort of career longevity as a lightweight, he'll first have to get past Makdessi, who's perfect through nine professional fights.
That includes a sensational spinning-backfist knockout for "The Bull," who dropped Kyle Watson at UFC 129: "St. Pierre vs. Shields" earlier this year.
He's a stiff test for any competitor, even one as seasoned as Hallman.
UFC 140 is expected to be headlined by a heavyweight rematch pitting the resurgent Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira against mouthy nemesis Frank Mir. Other bouts announced for the Toronto card include Rory MacDonald vs. Brian Ebersole and Mitch Clarke vs. John Cholish.

doubt theyll cut him after 2 losses
hes a vet, and honest to God was fighting the best he has in a long time before the ebersole fight…that being said, i definitely see makdessi taking this with a combo of good TDD and unpredictable striking
"This could be the worst disaster we've ever faced"
"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
he fought valiently in the ebersdole fight
for a penis minute there, he had balls in my tv, what!? brian’s neck and back. He also absolutely fucking killed karo, so he’s been looking rather decent as of late, here’s hoping he gets another fight with hughes
pride never die.
silva is a can crusher, try and deny it after wacthing this
lmao

Hey Jesse
This is the exact opposite kinda thread we need today. No Friday fun thread and Dennis Hallman in his sexy shorts as the first thing you see on mania. I know you want to impress Sarah, but come on man!
