Far as Hall, I wouldn't call him a failure by any stretch. TUF winner, 4-1 in the UFC. He's no spring chicken, so I don't know quite where he goes from here, but he's done well for himself so far.
As far as Imanari, yes, it was Kenta's fault. He backed up and circled away the whole fight because he wanted to avoid engaging Imanari on the ground at all costs and didn't want to walk into any of his entries. You might not like Imanari, okay. But the fact is that the one retreating the entire fight was Kenta. He didn't deserve that decision. The man didn't engage at all, he backed away, he circled and did everything he could to avoid Imanari's grappling.
Kenta deserved the decision because Imanari went 0-25 on takedowns, put his hands to his side, got hit with significant punches (end of the first round got stunned), got dropped during a roll, which looked like a legit KD, didn’t land a single punch, etc. Kenta didn’t make the fight good, but he did commit a few times to trying to hurt Imanari and even went into his guard.
