I hear you wish to ball, adventurer..
Maynard complaining while he eats tons of head kicks isn't winning him the fight either. Maynard did about nothing that round and Hall landed tons of kicks and had him in a bit of a grappling sequence.

I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
The idle Maynard lightly brushes Ryan Hall and Ryan Hall flops to the ground/sprints around the cage.

Even if Ryan Hall wins, the UFC brass are going to hate him for fighting like this.

Maynard seems terrified of a dude who wouldn't knock him out if he stood stock still.

I like him fighting like this and if Gray wants to win the loving fight go to ground and pound it out or something. You can't just keep looking confused at your opponent. Ryan Hall is landing tons of strikes on the feet.

I don't like when hall just drops down and invites Maynard to join him, but the times he drops and instantly has a hold of Maynard's leg and spinning on it are swank. He needs to get comfortable enough that he's only dropping when he's close enough to do that.

Firas wants Gray to get on top when Hall flops and that does seem to be the best path to actually landing strikes on him at this point

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
Like every other Gray Maynard fight is ugly

I got Hall up by two. He is kicking the poo poo out of Maynard and Maynard is deathly afraid of going to the ground.

To me Maynard looks like crap in this fight, Hall would look bad if he wasn't kicking the poo poo out of Maynard on the feet but if Gray wants to even try to win the fight go to the ground and make it ugly when its offered.

I do too but this is also the kind of fight where the judges scores could vary wildly

Hall had both of Maynard's legs and was on top for a change and completely wasted it by trying to get the ref to call an upkick, terrible decision

I've seen him lose a grappling match because he got an advantage scored on him when he was arguing with the ref about him scoring on a sweep.

tbh those were snappy kicks, even if he's not putting a lot of stank on 'em

His upkicks were pretty good, though

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Ryan Hall v Clay Guida please

Are there any Featherweights who would actually be willing to go to the ground with him right now? Is Rani Yahya still fighting?
