Ryan Hall trashes on Joe Rogan's commentary

[Maiji]

I think Hall and Rogan should grapple to submission to settle this. Would pay to see!

 

[MCS]

Hall should direct it to Bas if Rogan's unworthy as a non-fighter. What a dick.

 

[Sjb1888]

Bit silly to pretend he doesn't know what Joe means...

 

[Sirwastealot]

But that's what Ryan means though. Exactly what i said.

Hall grappled his entire life he's not gonna say something crazy. lol

But with a short time clock for MMA Hall may not be used to needing to work faster so that might be something he isn't considering. Idk.

That's not how i read it, but maybe i understood it wrong.

Yea that would make no sense for him to just not get it.

 

[Xaero]

Hall isn't athletic and explosive, he wouldn't know.

 

[Xaero]

I always laugh at how Rogan puts himself on the same level as fighters that have actually stepped foot in the Octagon.

He puts himself in the same level as funny comedians all the time.

Is Normal

 

[CPH]

Hall is being the depressive annoying guy that he is. Great grappler, not a necessarily great personality.

Anyone who has wrestled or grappled knows exactly what Joe is saying. He means time your movement, then hit it. Since so much of MMA is weighted against being on bottom, its not like a JJ tournament where you can hang out on bottom for extended periods of time without losing the round.

Be a killer off your back with an active guard, or use a combination of timing and 'go' to escape or reverse.

Well said. Hall's tourette probably resulted in a lot of bullying when he was a kid, which in turn made him adopt this pre-emptive jerk personality. I've seen it before and instantly recognized the forced "don't giveafuck" expression he always has on.

pretty simple really, if a fighter explodes his limbs and other body parts will be scattered all over the cage. How are you going to hold guy down when he's in several pieces? Pretty basic fight strategy

That's some next level technique you're talking about. Not just anyone can do that.

 

[Meathead Jock]

Is there an example of a colour commentator who is vastly superior to Joe Rogan? Rogan is not perfect, but he is not as terrible as some people say.

Jimmy Smith

 

[Headkicktoleg]

I wonder how many time Hall fell down while writing that.

Enough to expose the ignorant casuals.

 

[Final Say]

Ryan hall is lying through his teeth. He knows exactly what rogan was saying. He's salty about his performance and the reaction it got so he's blaming anyone he feels could have affected that.

 

[Th3PlainTruth**]

Rogan is a Jean Jacques Macado black belt. You say that like he's one of those mini-mall happy meal black belts.

Can be completely destroyed via this:

First Rogan say guy should explode. Then when someone does it he totally trashes them: "Oh deeerp, you don't just explode from side control. You need to use skill"

Well which one is it Joe?

Stop being a fanboy Final Say.

this is so stupid, but I seriously lold

 

[SSBBrawler]

I disagree with Hall, Coleman clearly exploded out of Rogan's kettle bell hold, and Beta'd Rogan.

Maybe if he practiced exploding more, he wouldn't be "stuck" in side control. =]

 

[MMAAAM]

I think its about time fighters start talking back about how bad Joe's commentary has gotten lately

I think it's about time Ryan Hall fucks off.

Why are people acting like Rogan doesn't say the dumbest shit all of the time? For a good grappler and a BJJ black belt he does not describe the action very well. I mean screaming oh oh OH! Over and over is usually the limit of his analysis. Maybe he should lay off the stuff during work, he might be able to follow the action better.

 

[FinBJJ]

Isn't being snarky and autistic mutually exclusive?

Hall is being snarky.

But eventually everyone will be diagnosed with autism on Sherdog.

Well autism is a sliding scale. Asperger's is starting to get replaced with the term autism spectrum.
There are huge differences in function within that scale.

 

[Furious77]

This is the last dude in the world to be criticizing anyone

Yeah what the hell does Ryan Hall know about bjj?

 

[Furious77]

I always laugh at how Rogan puts himself on the same level as fighters that have actually stepped foot in the Octagon.

When has he he done that?
