UFC 269: Ryan Hall Uses First-Class Grappling, Wins via Decision

Ryan Hall is back in business! He put on a display of his signature, first-class grappling skillset and earned a unanimous decision win against Darrick Minner at UFC 269.

In the first round – and after the very first minute, Hall rolled for a Leg Lock; but Minner saw it coming and freed his knee. However, Hall does it again and goes for a Heel Hook. He then comes up on top after which Minner goes for a Single Leg and Hall goes to Closed Guard.
Even though he was in danger of an Armbar, Minner manages to posture up and stand back up to his feet again. From there, the two exchanged strikes while standing and ended up in Half Guard, with Hall on top and delivering punches from there.

Then, in the second round, Hall almost got an Armbar – but Minner picked him up and slammed him in order to escape. Then, Hall established Closed Guard again, from where he delivered some powerful elbow strikes; even going for an Omoplata variation in the end.
Ryan Hall used the beginning of round three to land some kicks, whereas Minner went all-out on strikes. Then, in his signature way, Hall rolls and gets a Triangle Choke in place. However, after then going to Closed Guard and snatching what seemed to be a deep Heel Hook, he doesn’t get the tap.

Nevertheless, Ryan then establishes Mount and soon goes for a Head & Arm Choke – but, surprisingly enough, doesn’t try to finish it. He utilizes it to control Miner until the end of the round.

In the end, Ryan Hall was declared a winner by unanimous decision.
