After his stint on The Ultimate Fighter 21: American Top Team vs The Blackzillian, Hassan went 0-2 in the UFC. His last fight being a submission loss to Vincente Luque in December of last year. With his past behind him, his brother beside him, and his confidence at an all time high. Hayder is ready to show he belongs back in the big show.
