Idiots defending hall. Hall had been training for a long time at that point. They were both purple belts. Nate is just better when it comes to jiu jitsu in my opinion
Two of my favorite fighters: Ryan Hall and Nate Diaz. Another of my favorites is of course Nick. Nate's jiu-jitsu must be seriously legit if he beat Ryan as a purple belt.
+profd65 i think that nate just had the weight advantage and ryan did good early controling him and being 1 step ahead but as soon as nate got on top of ryan he was doomed. Nate was the bigger and stronger man ontop. I think if they did this again in 2016 hall would do much better.
+profd65 I read that Ryan Hall's BJJ coach purposefully held back purple belts from being black belts so that his 'lower level' students looked better than other gyms. At this point in Hall's BJJ career he had submitted a lot of black belts already, so the theory is quite plausible.
+profd65 At that point Ryan hadn't even been training for four years, it isn't THAT impressive, really. If he still could do it now, even with the weight advantage I would be impressed.
Judo Jenkins What? Lol, it's very impressive: Ryan Hall won the world championship in the purple belt division; he also was the world no gi champion as a purple belt. You say Ryan had trained less than three years at that point, but how long do you think Nate had trained? Nate was also a purple belt.
jason robbins I just glanced at the video but I'm surprised Nate won. He lost his back almost immediately. At the very end he got side control and threatened a kimura, which is cool. But seems like Hall was more technical and effective.
@@aplus1080 Nate was quite creative. Although not as technical as Ryan, still looked great! Would be a different story on the mats these days. In the ring, Nate murders him.
Yea I remember that season. It would have been interesting to have seen Hall fight Gray Maynard back when he was in his prime and before Hall was doing the diving for the legs bullshit.
I don’t think you can say that if you see this video. He’s good, no doubt. But Ryan Hall was practising jui jitsu for only 3 years in this video. He starterd jui jitsu in 2004. In 2009 he became world champion. I think if Nate would have tried this in 2009, his leg or arm would be broken within a minute.
@@ct0332 thats a pretty hard core assumption. Nate is one of the best bjj guys in the ufc. he didn't get worse while ryan got better. get real. and he's bigger. Nate would tap ryan next time too. my money on that boy from 209
@@ippo3963 I disagree . Either you use it or you lose it . I'm sure alot of the technique is still there but not as sharp as it once was . Plus the muscle needed for the techniques isnt what it use to be.
Shan Devin true. if he had a decent double leg takedown, he'd have beat McNugget hands down the second time. he was in on his legs a bunch of times but couldn't finish.
@Jacob Sirak the fighter didn't pull out.. when someone calls you on your facts u can't just claim "you can't be this bored" lol its called knowing what happened. u do realize ur commenting about the same shit he is on the same video about the same thing but ur bashing him for being right ? and calling it too "Specific" lmffaaaaaoooooo

Joe Sudz who wants to? He dives from across the cage. He needs to practice wrestling take downs or practice just getting in close. He will never get too 5 diving .
@Joe Sudz Because diving for someone's legs for 15 minutes isn't fighting, that shit little kids do when they first learn how to wrestle. It would be different if he were actually trying to go for a takedown. The shit is boring and most people don't pay to see that. I love jiujitsu, but Ryan Hall is on some bullshit.
Nate and Nick Diaz are two of my absolute favorite fighters not only in the ring but the mentality they have at all times. It’s too bad Dana and Nick couldn’t see eye to eye. Definitely miss Nick in MMA
Mr.Mask Maker I agreed, now is the perfect time! Ryan submitted Penn recently and took no damage. Nate’s fight with Dustin is off so why not? Would be one hell of a fight and many guys who practice bjj would for sure pay to see that kind of bjj in a mma fight
Keep in mind this is 2007 people... Ryan hall's first gold jiu jitsu medal earned was only 2006, throughout 2007 he didnt even earn any medals however since 2008-2012 he went on to win another 10 gold medals, and multiple bronze/silvers.
Man ryan hall is so insanely intelligent. So gifted at jj, its really crazy how good nate diaz is as a mma fighter. I think as a sport he isnt the best but as far as straight war straight fighting skills he is a genius. He rides the wave waits for hisnmoment to pressure or go for the sub. Hes had some weak performances in the octagon but i feel he is one of the all timw.greatest martial artists ever in any weight. Nate finds a way and even though hes not my favorite fighter i feel if there was no time limit in MMA that the onlyy losses hed have would be RJD and josh Thomson.
i cant really tell from this video quality whether or not ryan hall is just taking a slow and methodical approach or he was just getting gassed out by nate's insane cardio, but regardless it was a good match
Man!!! Ryan hall is a MFer on the mats, this shows how good both the Diaz bros are on the ground. They just prefer to stand up and bang. Real mixed martial artists, I wish the Diaz bros would go ahead and use there Gracie jj the cement their spot as one of the best fighters to ever do it. They are obviously very very very high up there but could still be higher.
How on earth does this show anything in regard to Nick's ground game? This merely shows that Nate is pretty adept at BJJ, which we all knew to begin with. "Best fighters to ever do it," though? That seems like a bit of a stretch.
@@Strype13 I think what Mitchell meant is... he knows how good Ryan Hall is.. and Diaz beat Hall here back in the day... which is pretty incredible. BJ Penn got his BJJ black belt in what... ? 5 years? That's pretty unprecedented in the BJJ community... And Ryan Hall basically jiu jitsued him in 40 seconds.... So what Mitchell is saying is that Diaz probably has under-rated BJJ right now... Because Hall is pretty good. Ryan has by far the best BJJ leg attacks in the UFC right now.
STANDING OVATION! Throw some flowers. Who knew submitting was so elegant and graceful. This was such a great performance I almost cried. Most have to rehearse and be creative to put on a show. Diaz did this without practice. Probably smoked some weed at the parking lot or in his car before the match.
Hall is a legit jits technician. One of the best in the same. So, what does that say about Stocktons finest? And to think... Nate has been praised for his elite boxing skills over the last several years.
@Roy Nelson Smh. Nates Jits is old news, you turd. Everyone has known that since 2004. Again, his elite boxing skills are what have been praised over the last several years.
@Roy Nelson I agree I do not like Nate style of boxing he does not snap his punches. And for some reason he is horrible at checking legs kicks hell i don't think he even checks them. But his one two combination works great. But Nick is the one with the body shots.
Roy Nelson you are absolutely fried if you think Nate isn’t a technical boxer. The way they manage distance and control the pace and when they throw soft shots to catch opponents off guard and then throw a heavy shot when the guard is down is very elite. Nate throws his strikes so gracefully it looks like he’s sparring
The diaz brothers are probably two of the most underrated fighters out there. They don't always win, but they've fought the very best to a draw, when the best were stomping everyone
@Kimura Blaze I disagree. The Ryan Hall in this video was a novice compared to where his BJJ is today. It took losing matches like this to create the view he has on BJJ now. Hall knows what works and what doesn't. How many people were using the 50/50 position before Hall? Generally that position was looked down on in pure BJJ but look how effective it is. Hall is a genius at BJJ.
Kimura Blaze yes, that old school self defense Gracie Jiu Jitsu really saved Ralek when he grappled Gordon Ryan. I think it’s a bit more complicated than you describe. But opinions are like assholes and we all have them.
Ryan and Nate are the same age. But clearly, at age 21/22, Nate was stronger. Nate is a natural lightweight, and Hall is a natural featherweight (although he's doing just fine so far as a lightweight). It's hard to tell who actually had better technique in this video, although it's tempting to say Nate simply because he seemed so dominant. But if you look at that "close call" on the rear naked choke, I'm not so sure. I suspect Ryan's heel hook and 50/50 game have improved dramatically since then as well. Grappling experts: any input here?
+Leigh Christie Yeh, I'm an expert bro! Hall needs supersets and my patented 8*23 squat program. Right now, he don't even look like he lifts bro. I been working with this fucked up joyrider fiend called Jon Jones and he is looking STACKED now. Hit me up for tips. (www.jitzgainzexpert.com)
+Leigh Christie nate started doing bjj when he was 16, hall in his early twenties. big difference at this point and time. if they rolled now ryan could take him tho
hall started in his "early 20"s" ? well he was about 21-22 n this video. so he must have only been doing it for like one year at the time of this video?
Gogoplata Haha, who ever promoted him to brown recently likely regrets that. He was purple last I had seen and I would say he's still purple from his grappling performance.
phoenixamaranth His coach John Kavanagh did. To be fair he was rocked when Nate submitted him so it wasn't the best display of his grappling him but yeah I don't think he's all that advanced either.
Gogoplata Yeah, before the Nate fight I had seen his fight reel and his grappling was his weakest area. He's a phenomenal striker, but doesn't seem to fully understand grappling at that same level. One day he will, but it might be too late in his career. And don't get me wrong, his grappling may be above average, but he's in there against the elite.
halls game is amazing, but it's a sport bjj style. he always puts himself in and stays in positions that would lead to savage ass beating against a decent ground and pounder. not that that matters in grappling tournaments.
baseballkide52 not really, in mma diaz would obviously ruin him but I think if they had a straight no-gi match Hall would end up leglocking him. his game has gotten so much better in the last 9 years

@@ab-ho8xo what do you want?
I like both these guys. I want to see Hall have more mma success. I love his shoulder shrug
Great music
13 years later and still getting views. Ryan hall a god on the ground
People still don’t understand nate one of the best overall fighters of all time
Both of these guys are legends
What’s their rank here ? It’s hard to tell from video quality
Ryan and Nate are the same age. But clearly, at age 21/22, Nate was stronger. Nate is a natural lightweight, and Hall is a natural featherweight (although he's doing just fine so far as a lightweight). It's hard to tell who actually had better technique in this video, although it's tempting to say Nate simply because he seemed so dominant. But if you look at that "close call" on the rear naked choke, I'm not so sure. I suspect Ryan's heel hook and 50/50 game have improved dramatically since then as well. Grappling experts: any input here?
+Leigh Christie Yeh, I'm an expert bro! Hall needs supersets and my patented 8*23 squat program. Right now, he don't even look like he lifts bro. I been working with this fucked up joyrider fiend called Jon Jones and he is looking STACKED now. Hit me up for tips. (www.jitzgainzexpert.com)
+Simon Fielding .....lolz
+Leigh Christie nate started doing bjj when he was 16, hall in his early twenties. big difference at this point and time. if they rolled now ryan could take him tho
hall started in his "early 20"s" ?
well he was about 21-22 n this video. so he must have only been doing it for like one year at the time of this video?
+camero loften you sure about that? Nate is dangerous too
I never seen this one before me and I’m so glad to see Nate Diaz whip his ass☝🏻👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Two great Opponents
That was dope enjoyed that I did
Cesar Gracie bro
Wow, proves his abilities and how easy it was to submit conor.
His bjj is good but Conor's is terrible. Conor is a purple belt but not at the level of these two guys when they were purple belts.
McGregor is a brown belt!
Gogoplata Haha, who ever promoted him to brown recently likely regrets that. He was purple last I had seen and I would say he's still purple from his grappling performance.
phoenixamaranth His coach John Kavanagh did. To be fair he was rocked when Nate submitted him so it wasn't the best display of his grappling him but yeah I don't think he's all that advanced either.
Gogoplata Yeah, before the Nate fight I had seen his fight reel and his grappling was his weakest area. He's a phenomenal striker, but doesn't seem to fully understand grappling at that same level. One day he will, but it might be too late in his career.
And don't get me wrong, his grappling may be above average, but he's in there against the elite.
This is soooo epic.
That was absolutely a piece of art. Masterpiece. Beauty and symmetry. Great representation of the human race.
halls game is amazing, but it's a sport bjj style. he always puts himself in and stays in positions that would lead to savage ass beating against a decent ground and pounder.
not that that matters in grappling tournaments.
Raul Duke Ryan Hall won The Ultimate Fighter. Those results speak for themselves
sean M it speaks for his professionalism and willingness to adapt. hall is a true competitor, props to hall.
sean M he still got whooped by a ground and pounder and later got disqualified
sean M Saul Rodgers
He competes different in bjj than mma obviously. He needs to improve his mma skills, but thats to be expected at this point
Id like to see a rematch, if they faced off now Hall would crush him
Wow. That is a ludicrously ignorant statement, lmao
baseballkide52
not really, in mma diaz would obviously ruin him but I think if they had a straight no-gi match Hall would end up leglocking him. his game has gotten so much better in the last 9 years
The music is genius.
Mad skills by both of these warriors.
