Ryan Hall (Lloyd Irvin) v. Daniel Tavares (Ademir Olivera)

[broceratops]

@ 2:11 good thing it wasnt a wrestling match haha

[telsacoil1]

1:40 The porno aproach, very effective.

[ArthurKnoqOut]

@telsacoil1 go show how him how "real men" would fight ;)

[xabovethisworldx]

@djbshadow17 your a fruit.knock someone out they are ok the next day rip someones up there out for months.

[DjbShadow17]

wow so gay this isnt fighty this is what you do if you dont know how to fight

[G0DatC0D]

@DjbShadow17 lol if you arent top level in bjj you dont know how to fight period.

[kiyotaka173]

THXup. i think this vidio involved many hints that break Ryan Hall and Ryan style.

[KeyboardPacifist]

@kiyotaka173 Ryan plays a weakling game... cuz.. well, he's a weakling. And being a weakling, he still whooped Tavares. His game it great. Macacao or Terere couldn't play it.. they are too muscular. This is small man's game. You can always smash on a small man. But Ryan's style avoids nearly all the weaknesses of being a little guy. You can't stack him. It's very hard to be offensive in his deep half guard. It takes a game like Cobrinha's to manhandle him without slippin up

[Tanlosdad]

WTF,Nice escape from back control Ryan!

It looked second nature, without fear.

[GASmotorsports]

The announcer calls my instructor to the awards podium awesome.

[sinopse13]

Demorou pra pegar a perna hein...

[dralfredo]

Yes, I too can attest to his top game abilities. He is NOT one dimensional, he just uses his highest percentage moves for competition. He is the future....

[Tyberious369]

he beat gordihno the same exact way in abhu dhabi ......... i think it was in 2007

[bjjartist]

yes it was 2007. Hes competing @ ahbu dhabi 2009. Got invited by submitting ALL his opponents.

[aquin520]

very risky way to start the match by ryan. Almost got choked.

[19thaman79]

@aquin520 Almost doesn't count.

[dimi887]

Lol I don't think ive ever seen you win a match from the top. We know your leg locks from the 50/50 are devastating, but where are the rest of your skills? I want to see some arm bars from mount or side control (or even a knee on belly)

[bjjartist]

Ryan has a top game believe me. He uses his top game to set up his back take/bottom game.(i.e. rolling back take and brabo choke pass) he could beat anyone from the top if he wanted to. He knows the guard is he really shines so thats what he does. Its playing to your strengths. Strategy and technique win fights not force of will. In fact he beat David Jacobs with a triangle he set up from the top. You dont get a brown belt under anyone legit without having both top and bottom games.

[bjjartist]

(cont. from prev.) Its like a top game guy looking to submit 1st from the bottom. They would look for a sweep first believe me. Now if the sweep sets up the submission than yes you take it but you have to play YOUR game. And who actually wins competitions from knee on belly seriously?? Thats a street fight position so you can pound a guy and still be in an upright position thus, if his friends show you can run very quickly.

[WhtMike2006]

dimi, Ryan just won 3 matches at a tourney less than a month ago with snap downs, singles, a RNC, and two darce choks, one from the Knee on Belly position.

[MrSweetPotato]

Really bad start to fall into rear control like that, BUT a great one to watch.

Question to Ryan: "What's the most you have lost in training time due to a submission injury?

[RyanHallBJJ]

7 months (Aug 2008-Feb 2009)--torn ligament from trying to guillotine someone. Didn't work out the way I planned it... haha

[bjjartist]

reverse heel hook for the win

[jdc131518]

I TRAIN WITH DANIEL AT KPOZ TO

[gutrupture]

who gives a shit?

[fightywhitey]

great performance - great grappler

[bjjtwister]

ryan hall again with a heel hook, love to see him finish in a different way, kimura from side or some thing.

[RyanHallBJJ]

Wow. That was not the best opening 30 seconds of a match I've ever had. haha. Daniel was a really tough opponent.

[piker3000]

Ryan Where are you training now

[RyanHallBJJ]

I have my own school, Fifty/50 BJJ in Arlington, VA. If you're ever in the area, you're welcome to stop by and train anytime.

[NightAce84]

I too train w/ Daniel at KPOZ. Amazing grappler, and pretty much taught me everything i know about bjj. ryan must be pretty good to beat him.

[preal10]

Great job by Ryan.

[indeterminatenexus]

Once again, there's no stopping Ryan Hall! Even so, I don't understand why he's seemingly overly patient. It looked as if in the beginning, he had a straight ankle lock ready to go, but just didn't even try to pull it. Hmmm...that seemed very odd to me. But either way, he's still the man.

[vikssuperbowl]

My boy Matt Hache has beaten him 3 times /end

[sephus45]

All at blue belt and not since March 2006. Hall has beaten him all 4 times at purple belt and their credentials aren't even remotely comparable.

[sephus45]

Hache is good, but nowhere near Hall's level anymore. In fact, Hache lost to Daniel Tavares (the black belt in this match) at the GQ prior to this one. Soooo...you might want to chill out with the harping on a couple losses at blue belt that are no longer relevant.

[sephus45]

Hache is good, but nowhere near Hall's level anymore. In fact, he lost to Daniel Tavares (the black belt in this match) at the GQ prior to this one. Soooo...you might want to chill out with the harping on a couple losses that happened years ago and are no longer relevant.

[poseidon72]

Hache has improved alot too. Matt guy trains like a maniac and has a great head on his shoulders. War OAMA!

[piker3000]

I train with Dan at Kpoz he's an amazing grappler.

[piker3000]

Dan is a beast,good work ryan great to watch ryan is patient

[jewofalljews]

i train with daniel every day. he is a monster, props on that win.
