Currently 2-2 in the UFC, Piotr has had big fights with Yves Edwards, Gleison Tibau and top 10 lightweight Al Ianquinta. Win or lose, Piotr is known for his exciting well-rounded style that generally result in one of two things: a quick first round finish or a 3 round “Fight of the Night†performance. With a record of 15-3, 7 knockouts, 7 submission and 8 first round stoppages, the numbers don’t lie.
Firmly aware of the deep level of talent in the UFC’s lightweight division, Piotr Hallman has recently enlisted the services of one of the most accomplished striking coaches in the business, Roberto Flamingo.

Flamingo has trained one of the most jaw-dropping array of fighters in the industry: Gilbert Yvel, Tyrone Spong, Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort, Eddie Alvarez, Fedor Emelianenko, Anthony Johnson, Gegard Mousassi, Ben Henderson…the list of all-star talent is virtually endless. Few trainers can lay claim to having helped forge the amount of success that Flamingo has.
Of particular note, Roberto Flamingo is one of the driving forces behind the success of UFC heavyweight standout Alistair Overeem. Roberto was instrumental in the incredible run of victories that led Overeem to becoming champion in K-1, Dream and Strikeforce simultaneously.

As a longtime friend, coach and training partner of former UFC fighter James McSweeney, Roberto and Piotr Hallman have joined James at his home base of Tiger Muay Thai in preparation for Piotr’s next fight at UFC Berlin on June 20th.
Piotr is set to face off against 11-1 American Top Team product Magomed Mustafaev who will be making his UFC debut. With all of 11 wins coming via stoppage, it’s virtually guaranteed that the bout between Mustafaev and Piotr Hallman will result in fireworks.
