Renowned Brazilian BJJ Black Belt Ryan Hall is part of the cast of The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber which will debut on Wednesday, September 9th. The 30 year old Hall is the owner of the highly successful Fifty/50 BJJ Academy in northern Virginia and has won numerous grappling competitions and medals including the Bronze in the 2009 ADCC World Championships. While he is known for his slick submissions skills, two of Hall’s victories have come by TKO, with the other two from submissions. The lone blemish in his 4-1 record came from his first pro bout in 2006 when he lost a decision to Ricardo Almeida Black Belt Eddie Fyvie. Since returning to MMA in 2012, Hall has spent time training with Firas Zahabi at the Tri-Star Gym in Montreal, Quebec.

You. Had one job!
My apologies. I don’t think you need to speak to people like that. I like to think BJJ community didn’t have people that behaved the way you are behaving. We all make mistakes.
