Where's Ryan Hall?

[gosuasus]

His last fight was in December 2021, where he won against the experienced Darrick Minner.

Has only lost to Topuria, who is the current champion.

His Tapology profile shows he canceled a grappling bout a year ago.

Is he injured? Switching to full-time coaching? Pursuing a BJJ-only career to avoid CTE? Is he hanging out with Arona, Reljic, Grant and Gillespie?

 

[ArtardFiesta]

he hardly ever fought. his heart was never really into mma.

 

[MuffinsAppletree]

He is rolling around somewhere trying to grab someone’s ankle.

His grappling scheme isn't adapted for the MMA + he seemed reluctant to step out of his comfort zone and pick up new techniques and strategies. Total martial arts failure in my book.

So...

So...

He did start to look like Taekwondo Champ in some fights IIRC throwing a lot of fancy kicks and what not that didn't look too awful so he was definitely putting in time trying to get better

Total martial arts failure in my book is Mackenzie Dern who should've learned how to wrestle properly YEARS ago and if she did that she could've easily been a reigning champ.

It's not like she would've needed to become an Olympic fucking wrestler to deal with the chicks on the roster either.. But no.. zero progress in her game since day 1, such a shame.

Also regarding your book

Off somewhere with David Terrell, Goran Reljic and Ricardo Arona. They’ll be back to fight soon

Also where is Casey Kenney? Another weird disappearance of a legit fun fighter

 

[spinitch]

Hall v Kron could be interesting

I enjoyed watching how Hall's techniques worked, or did not work vs. others. I suspect the UFC did not enjoy it as much as I did.

who knows

I told Dana to get rid of him because his name is terrible

 

[Rorschachxx]

While we're at it where on earth is Nikita Krylov?

Dude disappeared since his last win entirely. Even his last IG post is a year old.

Did Azov militants kidnap him for his support of Russia or something?

Ryan Hall always struck me as someone who doesn't enjoy MMA and did it more as a job, kinda like Gregor Gillespie. Those guys don't last, MMA has to be your lifestyle, you can't be punching a timecard.

dude medalled at ADCC, won TUF, had an overall 9-2 pro MMA record, and scored 5 of those wins in the UFC.

random dude on sherdog who's never done jack shit: hall is a total failure.

While all true, Ryan Hall's MMA skillset did not show significant progress. He did won TUF by replacing another fighter in the finals (congratulations) and then spent 8 years floating around and beating old fighters.

Fighters who are serious about their careers typically demonstrate impressive advancements before reaching 40.

he won TUF by beating the other guy in the finals, not by replacing someone. he got the fight by replacing someone. please don't tell me this is actually a concept you're struggling with.

he made it to the podium of the most prestigious grappling tournament, then transitioned to MMA and made it to the most prestigious organization there, then managed to actually get ranked there, and eventually lost to the current champion.

tell me, are you world class at your profession? have you ever been ranked top 15 in the world in what you do? why, are you not serious about it?
