Ryan Hall trashes on Joe Rogan's commentary

[Reason]

Ryan Hall is one of the most intelligently spoken MMA fighters I've ever heard. Listen to his interview on the MMA hour and be impressed.

like so...

Here's how real UFC fighters use a kettlebell:

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.

You gotta realize that Joe Rogan's job is describing what's happening to a casual viewer. He's not doing it for you and me, he's doing it for casual PPV viewers. A guy like Luke Thomas could describe the grappling much better than Rogan but he would be unbearable for casuals. In fact, he would be unbearable for everybody not deeply involved in BJJ.

Well, now that I think of it, he would be unbearable to everybody except himself...

Neither is staring at someone laying on their back?

sorry, an opponent who cannot stand should be DQ'd. How long have we been watching mma now. A standing fighter can back up and let a downed opponent stand up. Shit, lets just allows maia to sit on his ass and FORCE the opponent into his wheelhouse.

you are sounding like a foob
PS I have been a ryan hall fan for almost a decade now but facts are facts

Except that is not what happened. Ryan was winning the stand up as well. So what we got was Gray getting beaten on the feet and also refusing to engage in any ground fighting. Doesn't sound like a problem with Ryan at all.

Fukk Hall, butt-scoot fighter

Great first posts in this thread. Rogan and Hall actually both have a point. Rogan just means that you need to find an opportunity in which you can muster all your strength and energy to try and escape or advance your position. You can't just sit there stuck. Hall, being much more experienced than Rogan, has probably experienced a lot of things that Joe Rogan never has. Maybe sometimes you really are stuck in side control and exploding won't help.

Hall is going to get obliterated by someone with solid MMA jujitsu that is a more well rounded fighter, like Cole Miller.

Nevermind, I forgot he is basically Wonderboy 2.0 on his feet these days.

Rogan's target audience are newbs and drunk fans. Of course, fighters and any knowledgable fans would have issues with his commentary.

The problem is there are a lot of commentators who are worse.

More like Wonderboy 0.1

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

So I made a twitter just to tweet this to Ryan Hall. And turns out he didn't like it.
