Ryan Hall says he'd be relaxed fighting Khabib

Twitchy hits him with the 3-piece Hook kick, fall down, heel hook combo and ends the fight within 2 minutes. Ryan Hall WarWagon 2021
 
This is blatantly false. His entire instagram is him begging for a top 10.

Right everybody’s ducking him. He’s beaten Artem, ancient guys in BJ and Maynard and Elkins who is a few fights from retirement. But he’ll only fight top 10 guys. He’s fought 2 times in the last 4 years.
 
I don't doubt that Ryan would be relaxed. I also don't really doubt that he would lose. There would be some interesting grappling, especially if they were of similar size.
This is mma. There's a reason rda can embarrass cowboy at mma but gets beat twice by cowboy in a submission only match.

Hall isn't ready for that type of smoke

Never said what he was doing was intelligent or going to work but its what hes doing. The guy is in the top 15. I personally think he should fight bryce Mitchell

In addition to not understanding my post, you don't seem to understand MMA or what you've typed.
 
Ryan Hall is a BJJ coach, idk why people talk about him like he’s an elite fighter. He doesn’t want to fight.
Aside from you being wrong, as already shown: Just a coach? Not arguably top 3, if not easy top 5 p4p American no-gi BJJ artists in the world? Outside of Brazil, who's better than him? Gordon Ryan and Dean Lister and..?
 
He’d end up like the rest on his back getting beat on or on his stomach getting choked but I understand a fighter gotta sell himself

Yea I just personally don’t believe he really wants to fight. Or maybe he’s just delusional. He probably could beat anyone in the division on any given day. But he doesn’t even deserve to be ranked ahead of a guy like Mitchell based on resume. Andre Fili is better then any win Hall has.

Hall thinks he’s Chimaev, but doesn’t have 1/100th of the buzz to call for/get those types of fights.
 
That is Hall, dude wouldn't be tense if he knew he was dying in next 10 minutes. And that would be fun to see, no matter the result. He don't care about being on the ground, he welcomes it, which by itself makes him different than almost any Khabib opponent. Not saying that he would win but yeah... Would love to see it.

2 fights in 4 years. He’s one of the best bjj fighters out there cool, good for him. He’s done nothing in MMA to warrant the status he thinks he has.

That’s fact.
 
I can see Ryan holding his own on bottom with some weird guard to heel hook, but he will eat shots along with the big weight disadvantage and I don’t see him outlasting khabib’s 5 round cardio along with superior striking
 
No one is unbeatable in MMA, everytime an elite fighter goes on a truly great run MMA fans get to this point where they are believed to be unbeatable, it happened with Anderson, Fedor, GSP, Aldo, DJ, even Ronda and Joanna.

Only difference is Khabib retired relatively early in his career compared to those people.
Khabib is undefeated though and was getting better with each fight and certainly looked unbeatable in his last bout so as of now in his prime he does seem unbeatable
