Ryan Hall has recently revealed that there is more than a legit reason behind his extended time away from competing in MMA and BJJ alike…
And it is the fact that he had 19 surgeries since his last fight.

His professional MMA record stands at 9-2, with his last fight taking place in 2021.
Since then, however, Hall has been absent.

He revealed what was happening during the last 3 years:

Basically, the most serious unfortunate health stuff that I have ever experienced in my life.

I’ve had 21 general anaesthesia surgeries since that fight, sorry 19, there were two prior.
I got fallen on, tore my ACL, had to fix a plantar plate, got fallen on again, and had to have a tightrope surgery the one that Pat Mahomes and a couple of other people have had.

The ACL got infected, had to have a couple of septic arthritis.
The tight rope, I was actually allergic to the hardware they put in me somehow, so had to have that re-done.

It’s been interesting but on the back end of it.

Hall had to go through some surgeries multiple times as well:

Getting that all fixed as well has been huge.

It’s been interesting because more than half of the surgeries I have had are: “Oops, we screwed that one up, let’s do that again.”
I had six elbow surgeries and five knee surgeries.

As a patient, you can’t vet doctors and medical staff.
There was a period of time when I was in daily pain, but being on the back side, I never lost hope that I’d be back.
