Why is ryan hall on early prelim?

[Rockapotomuss]

This guy could be champ. And he’s on the early prelim that no one even knows how to watch.

 

[13Seconds]

Because he won't fight

 

[Reach4theSky]

 

[Deadwing88]

He could be "champ"..

Who has he beaten to suggest that.. the corpse of BJ Penn, Maynard.. or even Artem Lobov.

 

[koquerelle]

He rarely fights and has no name recognition.

 

[Dude Incredible]

If early prelims manifested themselves in human form it would be Ryan Hall

Late edit: So the question should be "Why is Ryan Hall AN early prelim?"

 

[whitekid]

didn't know ryan hall was still fighting... last time i saw him, his face was on the back of a milk carton

 

[Natural Order]

That guy couldn’t sell a bottle of water to a man on fire.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Because for almost everyone He is not an exciting fighting

 

[SakurabasEar]

He rarely fights and has no name recognition.

I would argue he has decent name recognition, i don't think he deserves the early prelims.

But I'm also bias, i like grappling

 

[GueseGuy]

Because there’s a much more important wmma fight going on on the main card? Duh?

 

[El Fernas]

Needs a signature win and more fights, the man isnt that interesting as a character but he doesnt fight often either.

 

[Track Jipper]

That guy couldn’t sell a bottle of water to a man on fire.

Obviously. Cause surely the man's money had all burned away by then

Lol the shrug.
There's a guy who does work for our company who shrugs like that. Constantly. Doesn't matter the question, he shrugs. He'll shrug while giving you an answer. He shrugs at any social interaction. It drives me goddamn insane.

Lol at Hall beating Volk. Hes going to lose to Topuria.

[Guy LeDouche]

Honestly no one really wants to watch the guy. And that’s not a knock on his skills which he’s an amazing grappler.

Sure you got die hards who love him. But casual fans and regulars don’t care about a guy who fights once in a blue moon and isn’t that exciting.
Plus he’s got the personality of a cardboard box for the media/promotional side

 

[Pierced7681]

Hall is good but he fights so rarely there’s no point in promoting him.

 

[Red Dragoniop]

why should he not be on the prelim lol ???? only hardcore fans know him....
