Married At First Sight contestant Jayden Eynaud might find himself squaring off with a UFC great after the pair got into an online argument.
The drama began when Eynaud, a three-time kickboxing world champion, scored an impressive knockout at Karate Combat 51 in the USA on December 19.
Afterwards, the Aussie called out the president of the promotion and asked for a $100,000 knockout bonus.
A clip of the moment was shared online and former UFC star Uriah Hall responded, saying: ‘How about I knock him [Eynaud] out and you give him the hundred thousand.’
Hall, who has wins over former middleweight champions Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman, parted ways with the UFC in 2022 and has since taken up professional boxing.
Eynaud, not one to back down from a challenge, fired back at 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 replied: ‘I have no idea what that means but yeah, let me know when you are ready to scrap’.
The former reality TV star is confident that the bout with Hall will eventuate early in 2025.
‘Already we’re looking at that for the next fight, that’s probably what it’s going to be … 100 per cent, very likely,’ Eynaud told News Corp.
‘In mixed martial arts as a whole he would be the biggest name I’ve fought, but it’s not my concern, just another body in the way.
‘I don’t know much about the bloke to be honest.’
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 so perfectly executed that Hall thought he may have killed Cella, who was out cold for four minutes before being rushed to hospital.
‘That’s my favorite technique,’ Hall said at the time.
Eynaud (pictured on MAFS) says the bout with Hall will likely happen in the coming months
‘… It’s a little bit of an unorthodox move. If you have good speed and good whip, you can catch someone, and it’s really deadly.
‘I love to use that technique, and just from being in the ring with him, I’d seen how he would drop his hand a little bit.
‘I had the chance and I capitalized on it and I took it.’
