Ryan Hall badly looking for a fight.

[haplo]

As a TUF winner and currently 2-0 in the UFC, he's now looking for top 15 ranked guy to compete with but the UFC seems reluctant to offer him anything.

"It's not for lack of interest on my part," Hall told ESPN's Five Rounds podcast. "I don't have 10 years in this sport. I am looking to face the most challenging opposition available". - Ryan Hall.

I know a lot of people didn't like his last fight against Maynard where he kept flopping on his back and inviting him to a grappling contest but he did outstrike him on the feet.
Ok he's looking for the toughest challenge possible. Hall vs Zabit. Dana, make it happen!

He's even worse than Kamaru

 

[Goodfella86]

I do think Zabit has earned a better fight, but Hall is a 2-0 TUF winner. It's not the worst matchup. I just wanna see the guy fight again. It's been too long.

Hall vs Lobov 2. We need to run that one back!

I can't think of a fighter I am less anxious to watch than Hall, after seeing his fight with Maynard.

As much as ppl and maybe UFC hate hall, I think he's actually easy to sell.

UFC would be very smart to use the weekends that don't have a live show or whatever they want hyping fighters...

For example, elite grapplers currently in UFC. Khabib, Maia, hall, Ortega etc

 

[NotSurprised]

He should look for one when the cage closes. He’d have a better chance of finding one then, but weirdly he doesn’t seem to be interested.

 

[binny]

They should do a show spin off of the FP series and call it "Ryan Hall lookin for a fight".

I found that fight hilarious. A 4 time d1 all american was afraid to take top position.

I don't recall Ryan Hall flopping to his back frequently like Vitor Belfort vs. Kazushi Sakuraba in PRIDE FC, but I do remember him kicking Gray Maynard in the face many times with the same kick.

 

[greymetaldog]

Hall needs to fight a lesser opponent and win in notable fashion. This will get him more future fights than another boring decision, even one against a near-15 fighter. Boos aren't something you want to hear while you are fighting.

I like that he already has a reputation for having an effective guard, as that will cause lesser coaches to tell their fighters to avoid any ground exchanges- a major advantage for Hall. People will think of his submissions on the ground as inevitable should the fight go there. Think "trying to outbox Mayweather " as an analogous situation.

Hall vs fili, Glenn, Skelly are great striker vs grappler matches

If they want grappler vs grappler, Allen, Skelly, jury, barzola could work

 

[maxi diablo]

Hall vs Jury and get him out of there. Bye felicia!

 

[jojoRed]

Lol at asking for Zabit, he wants to get massacred for 30k and some reebok change.

 

[MRT]

Hall vs Lobov 2. We need to run that one back!

imagine someone finally giving MMA a look and *that* is the first fight they see - LOL

If you appreciate the fine art of Grappling, this man deserves a fight. I am sick and tired of the MMA community looking for boxing matches. Go watch boxing or K1 if you're into that. In MMA, you win by any means necessary. I think Ryan Hall exemplifies that. His grappling is very exciting to me. I for one can't wait for him to step up in competition. Gray Maynard fucked that fight up.

 

[RayA]

I honestly don't blame him for his performance. Maynard just wanted no part in following him.

Find someone willing to engage. Is he the only black belt at 145?

well, maybe Maynard. Outstruck and scared to grapple. Time to hang it up brother. He also had a crap fight vs. Guida.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Im excited to see him. Im tellin' y'all, he could easily be top 5 and has better BJJ than Ortega. Also, he has shown the capacity to make massive leaps in technique in short times - in 6 months he went from having relatively no kicking game to having one of the best question mark kicks in the game.

His last fight stunk up the house. It stunk so bad I had to open my window and it wound up stinking up my neighbors house!

He's a talent tho. Give him another chance. I say give em Rani Yahya.
