He's always had the same submission threat with leg locks even while he was in The Ultimate Fighter and that is the reason he was avoided even before the BJ fight. But catching BJ with that heel hook, and people regarding BJ's BJJ game as elite, it's going to make people avoid him even more.Ryan Hall should risk it and face off against a Top 10 opponent.
But it seems like after that heel hook submission against BJ Penn, he's been kind of avoided as some sort of unorthodox submission threat.
I thought he was asking Shane Burgos for a fight recently, nothing came of it? Or might have been Ige.
First event got Covid cancelled, 2nd he pulled out with injury yeah, not sure what though.Didnt he just pull out vs Lamas?
I already said that exact thing in this thread.He's always had the same submission threat with leg locks even while he was in The Ultimate Fighter and that is the reason he was avoided even before the BJ fight. But catching BJ with that heel hook, and people regarding BJ's BJJ game as elite, it's going to make people avoid him even more.
damn, his crotch probably looks like an 80s party.Ryan Hall looking for a fight...
Controversial hot take: Save those types of finishes against contenders or against champs in that weight classes. Apparently, if you pull off nasty finishes against people who are known for (or have defenses against) finishes like that, other fighters will take notice and instead of fighting you in the ring, they'll try to stall you outside of it instead.But catching BJ with that heel hook, and people regarding BJ's BJJ game as elite, it's going to make people avoid him even more.
Hall is a dumbass, being as low ranked as him and saying people like Frankie are ducking when they're not even in the same weight class anymore is like a prelim light heavyweight saying Stipe is ducking them. Just cut hall at this point it's clear he doesn't want to fight, and he's not entertaining when he does.
Any kind of leg submission is hard to pull off. Lots of guys have triangles, arm submissions and chokes. The thing about Hall is that he can pull off any of them and that makes him very dangerous. Bottom or top doesn't matter and even from standing as was shown by the BJ submission.
His striking is very unorthodox and he is hard to hit. Reminiscent of Khabib.
Guys know he is dangerous. Same reason Chimaev couldn't get a fight. A win against him doesn't mean much but a loss is very real possibility.
He's ranked 13th.Why is an unranked guy calling out top 10 fighters? Especially when it's a stacked division.
