I'm rooting for Hall, but Maynard at even odds sounds like good value. He's a really rough style match up for Hall.

Buttflopping every time he gets hit seems to actually be effective in shutting down any followup, but I can't imagine it actually winning him the fight.

Edit: I think Ryan might've outlanded Maynard in that round, but he has no power.

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

If Hall had any power this fight would've been over 10 minutes ago.

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.

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

I wonder if Ryan Hall is the first UFC fighter with Tourette's?

Yep, Yahya fought in September but he's at bantamweight now

Well he could move up, Hall isn't that big. But I remembered Charles Oliviera's on a losing streak right now so maybe that would work.

Ryan Hall is going to get absolutely murdered by the top 15, because his entire skillset on the inside is to fall over.

That was the part of his game that was working though. He's going to lose to someone who can outstrike him from kicking range or to someone who can actually engage him on the ground successfully. Part of why I'd like to see the Oliviera fight is I think he could do both.

yeah but even as a submission whiz oliviera has gotten subbed a few times

I know, it makes the fight even more interesting to me.

Ryan Hall is literally a less talented Shinya Aoki and people are blaming Gray.

He's more like if Paul Harris didn't do steroids and wasn't a retard.

That fight was like exactly what I want MMA to look like.

Edit: except the dick kicks.

Glad he won, but how do you give three rounds to Joe?
