MAFS star Jayden Eynaud insults UFC legend as he challenges him to a fight – and gets a shocking reply
- MAFS star Jayden Eynaud has a war of words with ex-UFC star
- Aussie says the pair will likely fight in the coming months
Married At First Sight contestant Jayden Eynaud could face a UFC feud after the pair fell out online.
The drama began when Eynaud, a three-time kickboxing world champion, scored an impressive knockout at Karate Combat 51 in the US on December 19.
Afterwards, the Australian called the promotion’s chairman and asked for a $100,000 knockout bonus.
A clip of that moment was shared online and former UFC star Uriah Hall replied: “How about I just punch him [Eynaud] out and you give him the hundred thousand.’
Hall, who has victories over former middleweight champions Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman, retired from the UFC in 2022 and has been boxing professionally ever since.
Eynaud, who doesn’t shy away from a challenge, fired back at 40-year-old Hall: ‘Shut up old man, stop trying so hard to stay relevant or I’ll have to ask Uncle Awesome [promotion president] that I can put you back in your rocking chair.”

Hall responded, “I have no idea what that means, but yeah, let me know when you’re ready to cut.”
The former reality TV star is confident the fight with Hall will take place in early 2025.
“We’re already looking at that for the next fight, that’s probably what it’s going to be… 100 percent, very likely,” Eynaud said. News Corp.
“In mixed martial arts as a whole, he would be the biggest name I’ve fought, but that’s not my concern, it’s just another body getting in the way.
“Honestly, I don’t know much about that guy.”
Hall made waves in MMA when he appeared on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ series and scored one of the most shocking knockouts in the history of the sport with a spinning back kick on rival Adam Cella.
The kick was executed so perfectly that Hall thought he had killed Cella, who was cold for four minutes before being rushed to hospital.
“That’s my favorite technique,” Hall said at the time.

‘… It’s a bit of an unorthodox move. If you have good speed and a good whip, you can catch someone, and that is really deadly.
“I like to use that technique, and just being in the ring with him I saw him drop his hand a little bit.
‘I had the opportunity, I took it and seized it.’
