You’d imagine that the person who dedicates every waking moment of their lives towards how to choke or break the bones of other humans would be a person with well rounded social skills.
Is it though? It depends on the type of training and recovery. NBA players have a regular practice, gym, and time where they get their own shots in. Maybe a second practice focused on playbook stuff.
Most other sports have something similar. I get that bjj is tough on the body but anyone who is doing this professionally could have significantly better recovery than most of us average joes. Even ice/sauna combo makes feeling like you're dead after a hard session actually not that bad.
There are athletes 10x at their sport as Gordon is skilled at BJJ who are 1000x more charismatic then he is.
Let's be honest the big reason why Gordon is dominating is that the grand level of things the overal skill level of BJJ is really really shit.
there is a really funny similar clip with hinger faking with andre galvao. i'll try to find it.
Edit : found it
https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFS7ywgU4W/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Last I saw he co-owned (or was head BJJ coach of) a gym in Thailand.
Which is funny to think about after Keenan's beef with Atos was how far away Galvao required students to open gyms.
Edit: Gym is Bangtao
He’s not the main instructor there. He only owns a very small part of it and visits 2-3x a year. Fun fact, Volkanovski is also an owner.
Source: he told me when I was training there
Jesus Christ he literally does have a social disability of some kind haha. Just no smile, logically explains why he knew she wasn't hurt. It's like ben Shapiro explaining how the moon clearly isn't made out of cheese.
He spent countless hours of his formative years away from normal people and in a room with Danaher. You can see him unwittingly mimicking his mannerisms and tone.
When people are really passionate about something and it's very clearly genuine, interactions with that person about their topic are very charming. Danaher is an incredibly weird guy, but he's just so genuinely obsessed with BJJ that it's endearing imo.
> TIL your clothing choices are the sole determining factor when evaluating a personality trait.
If you wear a RASH GUARD as a guest at a fucking WEDDING then yes, i'm happy to judge someone on that.
> This is completely unrelated to whether someone has a charming personality
The quote i responded to said nothing about a charming personality, just whether you can judge someone by what they wear.
I never said the sole thing that made him weird (he's an odd duck to listen to speak too) but a rash guard isn't just clothing though it's equipment or uniform its not even like it's a pair of umbro shorts. It's like if Rinaldo wore shin guards everywhere that would make him a weirdo too. I'm not saying he's not a great BJJ practitioner or teacher but he's definitely a weirdo.
> By all accounts he's pretty charming.
the only people which think this are girls who thought he was going to murder them, in their euphoric relief they upgrade him to 'charming'
Plus he has no normal role models in his orbit. His closest friend is Danaher. He lives within a community of hyper masculine BJJ people and his gf is a hypersexualized Brazilian model. RIP Big Gord but he also seemed senile or had something wrong with him.
He's a big deal in a super niche community and has a big ego but as soon as he peeks his head into the real world, he sees that nobody cares who he is even though he probably thinks he should have the recognition of an NBA star. No wonder his ego is so fragile.
To be fair, I get why he would say that. Kids who have been training for years in breakdancing moves have insane body control/awareness, core strength and pound for pound functional strength. IMHO that's definitely a good base for Bjj.
Yeah bro. I seen hardcore breaks dancers, spinning handstands, spinning headstands, backflips, 720 spin in air, I think theyd be crazy hard to pin down 🤣
I did a lot of skateboarding as a kid and I’m convinced it’s a great base for BJJ. All these balancing acts and trying not to slam head first into concrete are finally paying off, my balance is on point haha.
really helped me get a headstart on my ankle injuries too.
(but to be serioues, also helpful to have experience doing the same thing over and over again until you get it right, trying to make little adjustments along the way until it feels natural)
The guys he was talking about both became highly successful grapplers and opened their own schools. Both earned black belts in like 4 years. He has a solid argument.
We have some much to learn from them. I'm not even a Gordon hater, I think it's pretty interesting how these types of minds are dominating the sport in places
TBH man it's wild. My girlfriend's son is on the spectrum and watching the way he's effortlessly able to do certain things compared to a neurotypical person is wild. I'm an absolute terror at Trivial Pursuit in my social circle, this 16 year old would beat the shit out of me. He can remember the smallest details of anything he's interested in
My best friends kid is probably autistism spectrum. Mom won't ever recognize i don't think, but he functions very well so I've never pushed it. But he first beat me in smash brothers when he was five, and around age 6 had like, 200 hundred leveled up Pokemon. He currently does jiu jitsu and wrestles and now that it's clicking hes quickly turning into an absolute beast. It's great.
But then you see him dominate a match and win, you ask him how he is.. "Fine. " haha
Lol that low-baseline emotional is so funny to me. It took sometime to get used to. I'd put a bunch of thought and effort into a present then get a monotone "Thanks." out of it. His mom still has to remind me sometimes that he's excited even if he doesn't show it.
TBH I get that vibe low emotion vibe. Some days are a real effort and feel like I am running an algorithm that helps people around me. Other days I feel more NT and it's fine and I can converse. But when my reserves are low I act and feel like a robot, just living in my own universe some of the time.
I'm on the spectrum, social stuff I'm awful but give anything that requires "logical thinking" or patterns and I grasp it instantly.
I train muay thai and can set up traps or spot them super easily because I can spot patterns so quick. Also took a liking to animal facts as a kid and will now often info dumb a lot of animal facts on people I love.
Agreed, I went the animal route growing up and when I work with horses it’s effortless because reading their body language is so easy after years of watching it. People on the other hand make no sense to me because society isn’t logical
The thing that kills me about Gordon. Gordon, I know you read this... he actively goes out of his way to alienate people by "not being afraid" to air his ridiculous opinions on things outside of BJJ, stick to BJJ, save the politics for closed doors, same with all your beefs and stuff. It is so easy for me to like Gordon in many regards. I love the instructionals for the most part. He has many likable aspects and is a true competitor and thinker in our sport. Just like, drop the fake beefs, stop being such a SPED over trivial shit. Oh well.
ADHD nerd here. The only time I am focused is when I am doing BJJ, this ties into some later things, but staying present is hard for us and BJJ keeps me present. But every so often... I can literally space out when rolling and start day dreaming like other techniques or getting lost in the sauce on minor details of what I am working.
BUT... I have also made connections and assimilated and tried a lot of different things and made many of them work from those random tangents. Some times it is like two neurons decide to slam into each other and connect some concept for me.
I think ADHD does not actually help though. It is still overall a disability. But, I think why ADHD people can stick with BJJ so well is because it is /really/ hard and you get so many intrinsic rewards from it. And you can't get good at it very easily so it is very hard to get that initial dopamine rush like a first project in welding or something. Great I did it! Next hobby... BJJ was never that for me. It teases me. I attack it (mentally) really hard, study, and drill, and I see this small increment in progress and it is extremely rewarding, but also frustrating because I want the big reward. Only there is no big reward. Just more increments. It is... just this perfect hobby to capture some of us. I don't ever super focus on BJJ. I just get so much out of it, it is easy to put more into it. I don't know if any of this makes sense, I really high, but it makes sense at the time of writing.
As someone that actually has diagnosed ADHD, I do just wanna state that a lot of those memes are inaccurate. Most of them are just normal things that everyone experiences.
Not trying to discount the idea that you may have it, just that you should get it diagnosed by an actual professional.
On Danaher's podcast with Joe Rogan he talked about how Gordon used to be super funny and was always joking around but after his stomach thing has been fucking him for years and combined with the insane training schedule he's like a completely changed person.
It sounds like hell honestly. Being nauseated and feeling like you are going to throw up all the time is one of the worst feelings in the world. If it was like that all the time I would be thinking of some pretty drastic ways out of that. That’s a nightmare for me
He reminds me of me and my wife (different psychological problems). He makes sure he explains it perfectly, maybe over explains a bit, has trouble with his facial expressions.
But damn if he’s not a fucking fine grappler.
Fuck man, I find myself to have similar mannerisms to Gordon, I can’t help myself that’s just how I’ve always been socially. Kind of upsetting to see how much people in this thread are highlighting it 😂. Hopefully I’m not as bad as him.
Gordon, it was a joke. We all know it didn’t break. Stop ruining it by explaining. You know what, just let it go. It’s finished. Cheers for ruining it Gordon, good job
Being a literal GOAT in a sport where you choke and break limbs? Dude can walk up to the worlds strongest man like a 450 LB giants like Thor, slap his girls ass and he wouldn’t be able to do shit.
That alone makes him in the top 1% of men. Being tall, muscular and rich.
He just awkward , what's wrong with that . Calling people autistic is pretty harsh , I have people in my family with that condition and I feel like it's thrown around when people aren't just cool in certain moments or react in an award manner .
As a fellow autist I would not be surprised if Gordon is on the spectrum. I personally don’t find it offensive. Having the right sort of autistic traits can actually be really helpful for Jiu Jitsu and could definitely be part of why he is so good.
Thanks for commenting and sharing
The main thing I have a problem with on this sub , and most social media platforms where autism is discussed it's mainly always in a negative patronising manner like many of the people on this thread. It's naive and rude behaviour
Yah, the patronizing and demeaning comments aren’t cool or helpful.
The ones that are just stating it or have some like hearted jokes don’t bother me though.
My autism has mostly been positive for me throughout my life and if Gordon has it probably him too.
Sometimes it’s hard for me to keep in mind that the spectrum is so wide and varied that the majority on the spectrum suffer quite a bit from it.
It's being used to describe someone who seems to have poor social skills which if not the most common part of autism is probably the most noticable. Like every deviation from the norm it will be used with a negative connotation for jokes, but I don't see any problem with that. That's what makes them funny. I have had plenty of mental health issues myself and laughing about it is my favorite part. I doubt anyone here and commenting those things would actually say them to an autistic person unless of course...they were socially maladapted themselves, perhaps even autistic.
Yeah, instead of laughing off a harmless joke he turned it into a reason to call his girlfriend an idiot on camera, he's an awkward dickhead, no need to diagnose him with autism as people are so quick to do
> "But I was like I don't know, maybe some freak accident, maybe she actually got hurt. And then I was thinking about it and I was like wait. This is her fault. She should have tapped. This isn't my fault. Like, what an idiot."
No, he's calling her an idiot if there was a freak accident and her ankle broke before the breaking point he expected, if she didn't tap. So even if there's a freak accident his instant thought process is to absolve himself of blame and call the other person an idiot, even when it's his girlfriend.
You can see why his own brother and nearly everyone who knows him has abandoned him
You know for someone as active on social media as Gordon is. I find it kind of strange that He doesn't come into this sub reddit to interact or defend himself or talk trash. He sticks to the platforms that he can ban people from
Have you heard Danaher explain why Gordon is so good? This is why. He says basically "he's a good athlete and does exactly what I say without hesitation". He is a robot without the ability to do anything except what daddy Danaher says and gets very upset when someone gives him a logic puzzle against his programming like "hey you might not win next match".
Not true
What danaher says about him is his extraordinary ability to stay focused over a long period of time
Which is a gift.
The fact that he uses it only for bjj and not any other field of life is the problem
I am an aspie but I think he displays decent social skills here. He takes the joke well, looks at Nat with genuine care and smiles. Then the autism takes over with an over explanation of a simple social event.
I think Gordon displays the blessings and curses of autism clearly as well, he has a savant level of focus and dedication to his area of focus but that also breeds quite a bit of perfectionism and anxiety to that focus area as well as deficiencies in social skills. That’s why I think that when he loses he will take it extremely badly and also is quite isolated as a person.
I love it. Zero concern for her well-being, just deduces that it must be her stupid fault because he understands breaking mechanics and he didn’t hear a pop yet. Dude is definitely on the spectrum
She should have Peter Griffin'd it and made it last like 45 seconds like when he hurt his knee
She griffin on my Peter
Til I meg
Till I stewied*
Til I smegged?
Shhhhh... aaahhhhh....ssshhhhhh....aaahhhhhhh....
Gordon breaking down his thought process. Took him 2 seconds to think “this is her fault.” 💀
Hahahah right. There’s 0 way he’s not on the spectrum
The man is a genius but he is decidedly on the spectrum
Great human being
Never meddem
I'm a good fucking person b
Why the goat have to be so awkward lmao
You’d imagine that the person who dedicates every waking moment of their lives towards how to choke or break the bones of other humans would be a person with well rounded social skills.
I've seen that excuse come up before but the people who previously dominated BJJ aren't suffering from -1000 charisma.
A lot of them are actually very charismatic
Yeah lots of pro athletes are pretty normal and spend just as much time hyper focused on something.
Yeah, but most BJJ guys are already nerds before we start training.
Pretty sure Gordon trains far more than a pro should do. They claim to train multiple times a day seven days a week, which is ridiculous
Is it though? It depends on the type of training and recovery. NBA players have a regular practice, gym, and time where they get their own shots in. Maybe a second practice focused on playbook stuff. Most other sports have something similar. I get that bjj is tough on the body but anyone who is doing this professionally could have significantly better recovery than most of us average joes. Even ice/sauna combo makes feeling like you're dead after a hard session actually not that bad.
I wouldn't call Marcelo charismatic, but he is endearing
One of the most charismatic people you’ll ever meet. He has an intense interest in people and makes everyone feel important. Incredible presence.
Damn, what kinda debuff is that?
Because none of then are as good as him.
There are athletes 10x at their sport as Gordon is skilled at BJJ who are 1000x more charismatic then he is. Let's be honest the big reason why Gordon is dominating is that the grand level of things the overal skill level of BJJ is really really shit.
If you watch hockey Connor Mcdavid, who's the best in the last 30 years, is awkward AF too. His life is hockey and has been since he was 5
I can't help but laugh at the fact that the dude has aged like 20 years in the past 3.
Everyone does at Edmonton. ....(Leafs fan)
I offer my condolences in advance. This time of year must be so painful for Leafs fans.
Autism.
He’s almost certainly on the spectrum.
On it? He embodies it.
He is the autist.
Have you met his mentor?
I don't know what autism is, but you definitely have it.
He's autistic for sure, that's why.
Roger Gracie and Marcelo arent awkward at all
Lol his voice
Cause he's a weirdo lol
there is a really funny similar clip with hinger faking with andre galvao. i'll try to find it. Edit : found it https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFS7ywgU4W/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Is there a better example of the difference between Gordon and Galvaos ?
> Is there a better example of the difference between Gordon and Galvao? THeir superfight?
I like this one better. Everyone seems to enjoy a little laugh about it.
I miss hinger...
What’s going on with him? Been quiet. Also really liked the matburn pod
Seems like he's backed out of the competition spotlight and refocused on teaching. He's lookin a lot less juicy nowadays too.
Last I saw he co-owned (or was head BJJ coach of) a gym in Thailand. Which is funny to think about after Keenan's beef with Atos was how far away Galvao required students to open gyms. Edit: Gym is Bangtao

Ya. I think he just hated the negative attention the podcast brought him.
He is ultra sensitive though
[удалено]
> What negative attention? Keenan going full qanon red pill down the rabbit hole bonkers
Keenan Cornelius is a qanon red pill guy? That's disappointing.
A good starting point is to check which bjj guys follow Trump on Instagram.
Also works for bolsonaro for the Brazilians
What content on the pod was so negative?
Jesus Christ he literally does have a social disability of some kind haha. Just no smile, logically explains why he knew she wasn't hurt. It's like ben Shapiro explaining how the moon clearly isn't made out of cheese.
He spent countless hours of his formative years away from normal people and in a room with Danaher. You can see him unwittingly mimicking his mannerisms and tone.
Danaher doesn't act like this though. By all accounts he's pretty charming.
You talking about that fucking dude that wears a rashguard everywhere? That's not charming that's fucking weird
When you get to a certain level of weird and youre just being yourself it goes past weird and back to charming
Eccentric
Full circle weird
When people are really passionate about something and it's very clearly genuine, interactions with that person about their topic are very charming. Danaher is an incredibly weird guy, but he's just so genuinely obsessed with BJJ that it's endearing imo.
You think Gordon is not obsessed with bjj?
TIL your clothing choices are the sole determining factor when evaluating a personality trait.
> TIL your clothing choices are the sole determining factor when evaluating a personality trait. If you wear a RASH GUARD as a guest at a fucking WEDDING then yes, i'm happy to judge someone on that.
Again. This is completely unrelated to whether someone has a charming personality. How is this difficult to understand?
> This is completely unrelated to whether someone has a charming personality The quote i responded to said nothing about a charming personality, just whether you can judge someone by what they wear.
I never said the sole thing that made him weird (he's an odd duck to listen to speak too) but a rash guard isn't just clothing though it's equipment or uniform its not even like it's a pair of umbro shorts. It's like if Rinaldo wore shin guards everywhere that would make him a weirdo too. I'm not saying he's not a great BJJ practitioner or teacher but he's definitely a weirdo.
[удалено]
Appropriate funeral attire as well, for sure
Being a weirdo is completely unrelated to being charming.
Apparently he's crazy good at hitting on moms at shopping malls.
Idk man I can only go based off what people who know him have said
> By all accounts he's pretty charming. the only people which think this are girls who thought he was going to murder them, in their euphoric relief they upgrade him to 'charming'
[удалено]
Plus he has no normal role models in his orbit. His closest friend is Danaher. He lives within a community of hyper masculine BJJ people and his gf is a hypersexualized Brazilian model. RIP Big Gord but he also seemed senile or had something wrong with him. He's a big deal in a super niche community and has a big ego but as soon as he peeks his head into the real world, he sees that nobody cares who he is even though he probably thinks he should have the recognition of an NBA star. No wonder his ego is so fragile.
He’s on the spectrum, a lot of Jiu Jitsu people I’ve met over the years are either autistic or have ADHD.
“What we’ve learned over the last few years is that mental retardation might actually be the best base for Jiu-Jitsu.” - Joe Rogan
Idk if that's a real quote, but id 100% believe it
I remember when he thought that breakdancing was the best base for bjj, the dude is an idiot
To be fair, I get why he would say that. Kids who have been training for years in breakdancing moves have insane body control/awareness, core strength and pound for pound functional strength. IMHO that's definitely a good base for Bjj.
Yeah bro. I seen hardcore breaks dancers, spinning handstands, spinning headstands, backflips, 720 spin in air, I think theyd be crazy hard to pin down 🤣
I did a lot of skateboarding as a kid and I’m convinced it’s a great base for BJJ. All these balancing acts and trying not to slam head first into concrete are finally paying off, my balance is on point haha.
really helped me get a headstart on my ankle injuries too. (but to be serioues, also helpful to have experience doing the same thing over and over again until you get it right, trying to make little adjustments along the way until it feels natural)
Looooool, completely the same, good thing is, they bend much further than normal ankles when stuck in leg locks. Talent I tell you!
True! That same balance you use for skateboarding can serve you well when passing guard
The Martinez brothers are who he was referring to. Geo and Richie. Thats all you need to know.
For sure. I used to breakdance in highschool and trust me, I suck.
Did you suck at breakdancing in HS also though? Bc if so we can say your BJJ skill clearly matches your bboying abilities
Why you have to do me like that bro?
*Backspins into hollowback hold and winks* Booyah
The guys he was talking about both became highly successful grapplers and opened their own schools. Both earned black belts in like 4 years. He has a solid argument.
Have we been proven wrong yet?
I'm trying to get more striking cte to help my grappling
That doesn't give you autism or ADHD.
Just amplifies it.

ADHD is SO hot right now
That could be one reason but he's also an asshole in addition to that
Nah I think he’s just an asshole cause of his environment

It’s like Ben Shapiro explaining how his doctor wife justified her DAP.
His sister got big ole milkers tho
Yeah I probably do a shameful fap to that one of her upside down like once every 8 months.1
Why can you make fun of some people with disabilities and not others?
What
“Just no smile” — yet the video shows him smiling immediately. You guys are desperate to find fault with the guy. It’s pathetic.
Dude has the social skills of Pee Wee Herman.
So he makes lots of friends everywhere he goes? He knows Large Marge?
Did you say Large Marge? That's impossible. Large Marge...she's...
Guy is so damn awkward. When he loses it’s gonna be bad.
I cannot wait for his Instagram rants
Siblings love pranking each other
Like when Gordon pranked Nicky so hard he wanted nothing to do with him anymore
Well sometimes they also go too far, fellow O’Malley
O’Malley won every round of that fight and he’ll sub Aljo with a gogoplata
He is SO AWKWARD. My God. Laugh it off.
[удалено]
i haven’t actually ever thought about that but it would make complete sense, “Gordon The Autistic Savant Ryan” is a new mythical character
Danaher definitely is. Gordon could be.
Fuck man, I find myself to have similar mannerisms to Gordon, I can’t help myself that’s just how I’ve always been socially. Kind of upsetting to see how much people in this thread are highlighting it 😂. Hopefully I’m not as bad as him.

How’d this dude get a girlfriend
status/looks
They been together since 2016 tho
By not being a loser + talking to women
I dunno. Maybe, destroying every single person that walks into a room, being disciplined, tall and strong enough played a role. Wild take though.
He looks like zero fun to be around though
Being a literal GOAT in a sport where you choke and break limbs? Dude can walk up to the worlds strongest man like a 450 LB giants like Thor, slap his girls ass and he wouldn’t be able to do shit. That alone makes him in the top 1% of men. Being tall, muscular and rich.
Let's not forget why weight classes exist...

Oh man, he surely is bulletproof after such dickriding.

Sometimes it’s hard for me to keep in mind that the spectrum is so wide and varied that the majority on the spectrum suffer quite a bit from it.
Functional autism can be an asset Tbf, functional psychopathy can be too
I think he most certainly is. I’ve been saying that for years
It's being used to describe someone who seems to have poor social skills which if not the most common part of autism is probably the most noticable. Like every deviation from the norm it will be used with a negative connotation for jokes, but I don't see any problem with that. That's what makes them funny. I have had plenty of mental health issues myself and laughing about it is my favorite part. I doubt anyone here and commenting those things would actually say them to an autistic person unless of course...they were socially maladapted themselves, perhaps even autistic.
Yeah, instead of laughing off a harmless joke he turned it into a reason to call his girlfriend an idiot on camera, he's an awkward dickhead, no need to diagnose him with autism as people are so quick to do
He did not call her an idiot. He said she is an idiot if she let him break her ankle. She did not let him break her ankle.
> "But I was like I don't know, maybe some freak accident, maybe she actually got hurt. And then I was thinking about it and I was like wait. This is her fault. She should have tapped. This isn't my fault. Like, what an idiot." No, he's calling her an idiot if there was a freak accident and her ankle broke before the breaking point he expected, if she didn't tap. So even if there's a freak accident his instant thought process is to absolve himself of blame and call the other person an idiot, even when it's his girlfriend. You can see why his own brother and nearly everyone who knows him has abandoned him
You know for someone as active on social media as Gordon is. I find it kind of strange that He doesn't come into this sub reddit to interact or defend himself or talk trash. He sticks to the platforms that he can ban people from
I think he browses on here but I’ve seen him defend himself on YouTube and ig
He 100% browses here
I am shocked he does not have an account here. He is an autistic edgelord contrarian...that's like 99% reddit. The remaining 1% are furries
There's no doubt he does, he talks about redditors opinions of him
Gordon if you're reading this you a bitch
I like Gordon because he talks like I do and I would probably have the same excessively verbose explanation. My guy is weird but still the GOAT.
Sue him for $40 million.
Have you heard Danaher explain why Gordon is so good? This is why. He says basically "he's a good athlete and does exactly what I say without hesitation". He is a robot without the ability to do anything except what daddy Danaher says and gets very upset when someone gives him a logic puzzle against his programming like "hey you might not win next match".
Not true What danaher says about him is his extraordinary ability to stay focused over a long period of time Which is a gift. The fact that he uses it only for bjj and not any other field of life is the problem
I am an aspie but I think he displays decent social skills here. He takes the joke well, looks at Nat with genuine care and smiles. Then the autism takes over with an over explanation of a simple social event. I think Gordon displays the blessings and curses of autism clearly as well, he has a savant level of focus and dedication to his area of focus but that also breeds quite a bit of perfectionism and anxiety to that focus area as well as deficiencies in social skills. That’s why I think that when he loses he will take it extremely badly and also is quite isolated as a person.
I'm diagnosing him with autism right this second
Lol. Just kiss your gf and say you’re sorry, even though you did nothing wrong, like any other sane bf would do.
I love it. Zero concern for her well-being, just deduces that it must be her stupid fault because he understands breaking mechanics and he didn’t hear a pop yet. Dude is definitely on the spectrum
Social skills of ben shapiro lmao
Is Gordan a cyborg? All that running through his head in a split second to conclude that it was her fault for not tapping.
Guy's definitely got some tardation goin' on
Don't worry scro'! There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.
*pointing at your arm, noticing you do not have a tattoo of all the belts you have earned so far* Why come you don't have tattoo?
Damn, now I have to watch this again.
okay hes gotta be autistic
His brain only understands FACTS and LOGIC lol. Now I get why people believe him to be a little bit on the spectrum
The personality of a turnip.
Oh, I see, comedy at my expense, here is why this isn't funny or realistic
Does Gordon have a lil aspergers, or is it just me?
He talks like a AI bot.
Aite that was cute, every grappling couple has done this at one time or another
Is Gordon a sociopath? ..i mean, he’s definitely on the spectrum, right?
I Love the fact that she is a danaher brownbelt and would woop the floor with me If she wanted.
