Ryan Hall Enigma Megathread

[Straatblaffer]

So watched a few of his fights and honestly don't see why nobody likes to fight him? He is a submission king, but hasnt got great stand up skills. Is he so dangerous, or are opponents affraid the fight is a lose/lose fight?

 

[Espresso]

Because he's spamming wheel kicks from distance and as soon as his opponents get close he pulls guard

I love watching him fight btw

 

[5thDimensionMMA]

Because most shertards are just bleed bros andprefer two fighters with amateur striking to throw bombs each other.

It’s hard to look good against him, and if he beats you, you’re probably going to look downright terrible. He embarrassed Gray Maynard.

Yup

The word is out there that he easily submitted UFC champions while training with them. TJ,GSP,Rory, Faber are to name some.

No one wants to fight him because he calls out dudes that are ranked way above him when he hasn't earned it, and he's a lose/lose. His fights are boring and his personality is boring, even if you beat him it won't raise your stock one bit. There's literally zero incentive to ever take a ryan hall fight.

What does his personality have to do with anything?

 

[King in the North]

He did that butt flopping thing and everyone hates him for it. They don’t give out yellows for calling him “Blinky” which is kinda fucked up.

I think the same thing happened to Dean Lister years ago.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Because if you fuck up against him once he's going to sub you. It's a massively risky fight and because of his dorky exterior casuals don't see him as someone you should lose to like a Dustin Hazelett/Tamden McCrory/Luke Cummo type, but a lot better than any of those guys ever were.

 

[Juan Bombadil]

Because he can destroy anyone on the ground no matter how skilled they are as a wrestler. He has something that no one else has at 145

are you really asking why personality matters in building a fight? C'mon dude.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

If Garry Tonon ever comes over to the UFC, I think he might have a lot of the same problems getting fights, btw.

The question was why does no one want to fight him. Are fighters outside the top 10 in rankings really that concerned about whether their opponents personality will help build their fight?

Yes. It's their job.

 

[richardjohnson]

Yes. It's their job.

Well maybe they should worry more about putting on good performances and they might move up the rankings. Just a thought.

There's a reason Mike Perry is a household name and Ryan Hall is a name on r/bjj. Grow up homie. It's the entertainment business.

 

[ayewheresthecannoli]

didnt nate submit him in gi

 

[muad_dib]

No one points out who is his next opponent.
So let's say he wins, will you doubt him? After that denying him would be funny really.
