Quick (un)retirement
‘Prime Time’ Hall retired from the sport of MMA last month in August, writing on Instagram, “It is with great sadness that I will be stepping away from the greatest sport in the world.”
His retirement came after two straight losses, the most recent coming against monster prospect Andre Muniz at UFC 276 in July.
By the time Hall enters the boxing ring on October 23, he will have been retired for a whopping 74 days.
Bell’s second boxing match
Bell is a two-time first-team All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl running back who played most of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He made his exhibition boxing debut on September 10 when he knocked out fellow NFL running back Adrian Peterson.
