it was 145 weight class.

thanks 10thplanetjjphx, i actually figured that out as well, especially since i went against Dustin at the no gi mundials last november :)

[dfoung]

yeah, submission only for first half. I think it was eight minute matches.

I have a lot of respect for Ryan, but I don't like how he always pulls guard, and then complains to the ref when his opponent dosen't immediately engage. What does he expect, for them to charge blindly into what everyone knows is the strongest part of his game?

Hall always looks bored when he fights. It's amazinging how composed he is.

[BrannonMcConkey]

What is his goal with intentionally putting himself in deep half? Is he trying to tie up a leg lock, or sneak to the back or what?

[planetmurkury]

@DannyMullenBjj I think he expects people to be willing to grapple at grappling tournaments.

@electronikita well, the other guy just keeps backing up so he has to butt-scoot.

[christophercoltrane]

@DannyMullenBjj why do people do bjj comps if they don't want to engage? I think it's a bit sad.

Ryan was like (ref) would you get the hell out of the way!

Ryan hall needs to work his wrestling but he is such an amazing grappler man

[BHanson41z]

@DannyMullenBjj I read that he's only trying to get on top from now on and in training tries to sweep from bottom. That could be the way to do it, work on half of your game and become a monster at it then work on the rest later. He's still pretty young, Hall is going to be wrecking dudes for a while.

I hate people who do that crap (ass crawling I mean), what they really do is thy promote "BJJ-is-gay" more than anything. That kind of thing is not very interesting to watch.

@DannyMullenBjj In that situation though the guy was making it pretty difficult to engage and then wouldn't engage when Ryan pulled guard to allow him so... I dunno it's all subjective it could go both ways.

@TeamCGS it was at 145 and I walk around at 155.
