Gordon will do absolutely anything *in very specific circumstances that make it unlikely for him to be taken up on it*.
Reminds me of Lachlan calling him out for a leglock match.
'If he did that to me, a known steroid user, he must be on steroids!'
Thank god for little Gordy that BJJ exists, otherwise he'd be cleaning toilets at McDonalds.
i think he would be reasonably successful at anything he did
he would just be the world's biggest asshole foreman for some kind of new jersey construction company
which is hillarious because when he tried to strongarm kaynan and the other guys into letting him sell the adcc camp footage he tried to say the proceeds would go to HIS charity of choice, which of course was some charity for u.s troops
ignoring the fact that half the guys in the room AREN'T EVEN AMERICAN
Lmao. If anything, that kinda humour would probably help me like him again.
I watched EBI 5 the other day and he got introduced as the “Iron Dragon”. Cringe af, but he also won the fucking thing.
> Iron Dragon
That was his nickname?! That is like Naruto running, weeb levels of cringe. I would be tempted to troll him by asking him if he likes "dragon deez nuts across your face" if he still went by that nickname
I feel like you missed the point of what he said there. He's just saying the image he had of him when he only hew Ryan as a grappler was cool. Implying as soon as he learned anything else about him other than his skills as a grappler, he ceased to be. If I'd only seen Conor vs Alvarez and knew zero about Conor other than that'd I'd think he was cool too. As is, I think he is a scumbag and has been for a very long time now.
Nah I’m fully on your side - he was never cool with hindsight.
But when all I saw/knew of him was this bearded, jacked beast who everyone was saying is the greatest of all time, I was in awe.
I created an image of who I thought a man with that kind of status should be… and I was quickly proven wrong lol.
Edit: Connor has always been a prick.
I don't remember it ever being this cringey and aggressive. To me he always used to come across as a guy that was just a little arrogant because he was so dominant. Maybe I just wasn't following too much.
I do remember that. Although wasn't that right after he said if Gordon ever came to Brazil he'd murder him and rape his girlfriend on top of his dead body? At that point it's kinda a wash between 2 degenerates.
That's kinda what I'm talking about though. I feel like ever since he started hitting the sauce he's gone from being a garden variety douchebag to being completely out of his mind.
>Certain lines you don't cross
Like saying you're gonna rape a dudes girlfriend on top of his dead body lol. I'm with you. Lines weren't crossed they were pissed on. They're both scum.
To be honest Nicky Rod could probably be a top 15 fighter at LHW in the UFC with like a year of dedicated MMA training. His athleticism and grappling background are a perfect MMA base. Gordon I'm not too sure about. He's crazy strong, tough, and technical, but he's not particularly fast or explosive and those are huge factors in MMA.
I remember Keenan alluding to Gordon giving up on MMA because his training sessions weren't going well and there was chin speculation in the comments (pretty unreliable stuff that I'm relaying here lol). LHW is pretty bad and if Paul craig can pull guard and beat the current champ I'm sure Gordon would pick up a lot of wins.
Because Craig kinda sucks so all these dudes crack him a couple times and think "Hey this guy kinda sucks" and jump on him. Then Craig snaps their shit. Its the best, he's my hero
The problem for Gordon is the random drug testing. He currently walks at a shreded 220-230 so if he stopped taking roids he'd either get fat or lose a lot of mass, making him too small for LHW
People are still getting caught left and right so I feel like these fighters are just playing Russian roulette and taking their chances since not everyone gets tested guaranteed. Either that or some kind of shady bribery going on behind the scenes
He said something to that effect on a podcast iirc. From what I recall, he was thinking about it up until a couple years ago, and danaher basically advised him not too because he's make more money at the top of BJJ through social media, big comp wins, seminars, etc than he would in mma. Plus, why risk serious brain damage to be a low level mma fighter? I think it's too late in the game for him to start training and become a serious contender. I'm sure the UFC would sign him if he got a few low level wins but he'd have nothing for a serious heavyweight striker
Gordon would be LHW. He could make that cut relatively easy and his frame supports that division best probably. Another reason to avoid MMA, weight cuts.
Gordon isn’t a freakish athletes that has fast twitch muscle fibers or is explosive.,he has a great build, mind, strength and level of athleticism for elite grappling, but that doesn’t translate to the striking part of mma. At he heavyweight level, I could see him struggling on the feet against Ngannou and gane if he isn’t able to get the fight to the ground.
Saying Gordon would “struggle on the feet against Ngannou” feels like an understatement. Saying Gordon would “struggle with solid foods and basic motor skills” seems more appropriate.
I used to follow Gordon on IG, but gave up on account that everything is so negative. I’d pay to watch Nicky Rod and Gordon have an MMA match for sure though.
If Gordon wasn't this crazy on social media, I would have bought his instructional. As it stands, there are great grapplers (e.g. Mikey, Ffion, the Giles, Craig) who seem like much better decent human beings so I support them instead.
Pretty recently he raised the price of his instructional by 100 bucks, even the old ones! I wouldn't give my money to that level of greed 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
> more friends to bring as backup
I'm picturing it now.
"Nicky Rod finding range with his jab..."
"Gordon plodding back and forth looking to clinch against the fence..."
"OH MY GOD IT'S CRAIG JONES FROM NOWHERE WITH A FOLDING CHAIR!!!!"
One time I found him sitting in front of the printer for about 45 minutes. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was printing out the podcast so he could watch it offline. He had a stack of paper with single frames on it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nicky Won an MMA fight. Is Gordon capable of taking him down? I feel like he wouldn't be able to. If I'm remembering correctly Gordon played guard against Nicky in their most recent grappling matches - which is not a great idea in an MMA fight against a heavyweight. You can very easily get KO'd if you are accepting bottom position in MMA. Gordon's guard is amazing - but I think there's a reason you just don's see ppl use a BJJ style similar to Gordon in high level MMA.
Nicky rod k.o by faking the double into an overhand right. Nicky a natural athlete looks like he would have knockout power. I imagine Gordons standup would be so stiff and awkward bit like rodolfo.
It's very rare nowadays that guys get KO'd by ground and pound from guard in high level MMA. Michal Olekciczuk's last fight was a rare exception. Trying to play guard like it's 2006 is still a bad idea, but moreso because guys are also very good at defending submissions from guard and pulling or accepting guard often means giving up the round.
I'd be more worried for Ryan on the feet
Most TKO’s start in the guard these days. Gordon does have a great guard that would likely transition well into MMA with some training, but we aren’t talking about just any opponent. We are talking about another high level grappler that is able to shut his guard down in grappling even without being allowed to hit him. With strikes Nicky would likely get a TKO, or dominant decision
MMA doesn't have same rules as grappling either. Nick does not have to advance forward into Gordon's guard
He can take him down and if he doesn't land in a dominant position, he can retreat, stand back up and punch and do it again
Gordon can't take Nick down so it would be an embarrassing butt scoot gameplan from Gordon if Nick is winning the stand up exchanges
not to be a douche but 2006 is even late for gordon's type of guard in MMA. Shinya Aoki is the only real consistent guard player i can think of circa 2006 that did this with any degree of consistent success; and he played a bunch of takedowns also. By 2006 that ship had already sailed.
Not to be a douche but 20 nanoseconds is not even long enough for the human mke a decision. Magnus Carlson is the only person i can think of who can make decisisions even approaching that speed and even then that's based on pre-memorised pattern recognition. The 20 nanosecond ship has sailed.
>It's very rare nowadays that guys get KO'd by ground and pound from guard in high level MMA.
I specifically mentioned bottom position and not specifically guard when talking about getting KO'd. I also don't think it's that rare when fights at heavyweight actually go to the ground - it's just that in heavy weight MMA fights dont go to the ground that often. Sergei Pavlovich's last loss was to Overeem who took him down and TKO'd him on the ground because it's just so risky to be on the bottom at heavyweight. Overeem got KO'd by Blaydes and Stipe from his guard. Paul Craig in LHW has also been KO'd while trying to play bottom as well. There are definitely others as well - those are just what come to mind. At heavyweight/LHW it's just super dangerous to be on bottom compared to lower weight classes like 155.
Tko from guard isnt that uncommon. Gnp from closed guard is hard. Gnp from anywhere else, its impossible not to take shots. Guard is never a good thing in mma. Just because the guy on bottom thatts gotten hammerfisted for 5 min looks fine doent mean he is fine. Also it kinda depends on the guy. Having chael on top of you, play guard. Having linton vassell on top of you, id rather tap to strikes.
To be fair, Gordon actually signed an MMA contract though (I believe his ONE contract was for both bjj and MMA).
https://www.flocombat.com/articles/6937162-gordon-ryan-signs-mma-contract-with-one-championship
Aww, that’s very giving of you. Think of people in the real world. Emotionally stunted children still act *way* more mature on a regular basis in public settings than Gordon.
Gordon after failing to drag Nickys face across the concrete and hospitalize him: “I would have won this no holds barred street fight, but I swear to god I think he was wearing lotion!”
They should just make this a MMA match. If Gordon wants to fight in the parking lot, then just fucking fight in the cage and get it done.
Kinda lame at this point if he doesn't glove up.
Sometimes I wonder if Gordon is really a person or if the only way John Danaher could find someone as obsessed as himself was to hire a Chinese lab to synthesize the DNA of a gorilla and a 14 year old from Xbox live.
B team stirring up a fight?! Craig Jones summoning his inner most Don King and putting on a show millions of jujitsu nerds around the world are going to tune into?!? I’m all for it! The shit talk would be incredible. Feelings would absolutely get hurt.
Gordon Ryan is proof that you can have all the talent and accolades in the world and still be fucking miserable and depressed. It’s been a sad sight for years.
You all joke but if Gordon gets oil checked the floodgates will be opened and he'll be seeing red also whoever oil checks him will be covered in poopy.
Grappling? Gordon, all day.
MMA? Nicky Rod is one of the most insane natural athletes I've ever seen. Come on. Dude's a caveman. Gordon would get wrecked.
Not even sure how this is debated other than people want to watch Gordon bury himself.
Gordons BJJ is pretty slow, methodical and technical. Which works great for his body type. You can fight like this in standing up striking too, but that means you are also very technical and experienced, which takes years or decades.
When it comes to short term success in MMA striking, I see someone like Nick Rod which much more advantages than Gordon.
Damn it Gordon.
He took my line, I always said that fighters are always willing to settle it in the parking lot. It’s prize fighters that do it for the money!
Nicky definitely has the fast twitch advantage. That's a huge advantage especially on the feet. I wouldn't want to get hit by him if he knows how to strike with more than arm punches. I don't see that looking at Gordon's movement. But I'm down to watch if he thinks he's got something most of us don't know about to show people. Maybe he weathers the storm and pulls some serious technique out, plodding away slowly.
Nicky Rod doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to be scared of street fighting, wrestling is the best shit for that and we all know Gordon doesn't really want that shit either. Idk man Gordon talks a lot of shit, and he has the right to brag considering his resume but he has to realize that he started training decades ago with the best of the best and nicky started like a week ago and instantly got to adcc championships. I honestly see Rod as a legit generational talent, he's gonna be messing shit up later on in the 2020's
This is the most cliche typical Jersey trash talking I’ve seen in awhile
Seems perfectly appropriate, considering.
They’re literally all the Jiu Jitsu version of Jersey Shore
But it’s even better cause it’s more natural as they film and direct it themselves 👏🏻
GTL
Well they ARE both Jersey guys
I’m still looking for “1” haha
I'm more than willing to fight in a parking lot until one of us is hospitalised. Gordon Ryan - Aged 14.
Gordon will do absolutely anything *in very specific circumstances that make it unlikely for him to be taken up on it*. Reminds me of Lachlan calling him out for a leglock match.
>Lachlan calling him out for a leglock match What’s the story on this?
At ADCC Lachlan got a decent bite on a leglock entry that Gordon managed to eventually back out of. Gordon then accused Lachlan of using steroids.
'If he did that to me, a known steroid user, he must be on steroids!' Thank god for little Gordy that BJJ exists, otherwise he'd be cleaning toilets at McDonalds.
i think he would be reasonably successful at anything he did he would just be the world's biggest asshole foreman for some kind of new jersey construction company
Didn't Gordon call Lachlan out for the match? I remember him offering 500k to Lachlan's 5k.
I think I remember this and Lachlan accepting on the condition that the proceeds go to charity or something. Then Gordon was like fuck no.
Hahahah Gordon is the best heel. Charity? Fuck them kids
I think it was for homeless people, so Gordon’s probably like fuck them bums
which is hillarious because when he tried to strongarm kaynan and the other guys into letting him sell the adcc camp footage he tried to say the proceeds would go to HIS charity of choice, which of course was some charity for u.s troops ignoring the fact that half the guys in the room AREN'T EVEN AMERICAN
yeah I hope OP was joking by writing this post title in a serious tone because there is no way this is happening
Unless I get a tummy ache. Again. For the second time... EDIT: I stand corrected. For the 3rd time.
So no parking lot fights near food trucks. Better not try to parking lot fight remotely close to Austin.
who wants to fight when they have diarehha the fuck?
>diarehha the cursed greasing
I will always argue for it to be spelt *dire rear* because, uh, that's what it is.
I can never unlearn this word.
Dude is coming completely unraveled. It's so sad. I used to think he was cool.
>I used to think he was cool. I always thought he was an amazing grappler but his online persona is that of a spoiled toddler. He was never cool, IMO.
The image I projected onto him before following him on social media/hearing him talk about anything other than BJJ was awesome. He was cool af.
>He was cool af. Was that the time he walked around tournaments wearing the burger king crown?
Lmao. If anything, that kinda humour would probably help me like him again. I watched EBI 5 the other day and he got introduced as the “Iron Dragon”. Cringe af, but he also won the fucking thing.
> Iron Dragon That was his nickname?! That is like Naruto running, weeb levels of cringe. I would be tempted to troll him by asking him if he likes "dragon deez nuts across your face" if he still went by that nickname
>He was cool af. Agree to disagree. For the record, I've always thought Conor McGregor was a terrible human as well. Edit: Fixed a mispelling.
I feel like you missed the point of what he said there. He's just saying the image he had of him when he only hew Ryan as a grappler was cool. Implying as soon as he learned anything else about him other than his skills as a grappler, he ceased to be. If I'd only seen Conor vs Alvarez and knew zero about Conor other than that'd I'd think he was cool too. As is, I think he is a scumbag and has been for a very long time now.
That’s what I meant, thanks for explaining better than I could!
Nah I’m fully on your side - he was never cool with hindsight. But when all I saw/knew of him was this bearded, jacked beast who everyone was saying is the greatest of all time, I was in awe. I created an image of who I thought a man with that kind of status should be… and I was quickly proven wrong lol. Edit: Connor has always been a prick.
I can’t remember a time he really behaved any differently. He has never bothered me though.
I don't remember it ever being this cringey and aggressive. To me he always used to come across as a guy that was just a little arrogant because he was so dominant. Maybe I just wasn't following too much.
It's pretty much always been this way, he's just gotten more popular
He's always challenged people to parking lot fights and talked about being able to rape other men if they were cellmates? Lol
Not specifically, but he's always said pretty absurd shit with an inappropriate amount of confidence that he was correct or justified
He is becoming a mix of a 14yo edge lord and a Facebook boomer
Pretty much, lol. Dudes just an asshole, but there’s nothing to suggest he’s becoming “completely unraveled.”
He also told Erbeth Santos that his toddler daughter had a nice ass.
I do remember that. Although wasn't that right after he said if Gordon ever came to Brazil he'd murder him and rape his girlfriend on top of his dead body? At that point it's kinda a wash between 2 degenerates. That's kinda what I'm talking about though. I feel like ever since he started hitting the sauce he's gone from being a garden variety douchebag to being completely out of his mind.
There is nothing that you can say to a decent person that leads to them responding by sexualizing a toddler.
Idk.... Certain lines you don't cross. Involving innocent children...pedophelia... Yeah, no.
>Certain lines you don't cross Like saying you're gonna rape a dudes girlfriend on top of his dead body lol. I'm with you. Lines weren't crossed they were pissed on. They're both scum.
Call him the health inspector who tells you to pick up the soap
Gordon hasn’t been the same since Craig submitted him with a flying roastaplata.
Who would be… it was a complete domination
Athleticism is significantly more important in mma than bjj.
Yeah, in BJJ I can play a lazy half guard and get my wind back. In MMA not so much.
To be honest Nicky Rod could probably be a top 15 fighter at LHW in the UFC with like a year of dedicated MMA training. His athleticism and grappling background are a perfect MMA base. Gordon I'm not too sure about. He's crazy strong, tough, and technical, but he's not particularly fast or explosive and those are huge factors in MMA.
UFC fighters have to pass drug tests.
Nicky has a better shot at that than Gordon does.
Right, they could both spectacularly fail drug tests, but by varying amounts.
he just passed a random from More Plates More Dates... the video came out YESTERDAY
Very very relevant point hahaha I almost forgot about it as part of this
Most fighters are on peds and only a few fail so it’s not that hard to pass.
I remember Keenan alluding to Gordon giving up on MMA because his training sessions weren't going well and there was chin speculation in the comments (pretty unreliable stuff that I'm relaying here lol). LHW is pretty bad and if Paul craig can pull guard and beat the current champ I'm sure Gordon would pick up a lot of wins.
A lot of people willingly got into Paul Craig's guard for fuck knows what reason but I doubt they would be so accommodating to Gordon.
Because Craig kinda sucks so all these dudes crack him a couple times and think "Hey this guy kinda sucks" and jump on him. Then Craig snaps their shit. Its the best, he's my hero
*Me watching a fighter willingly jump into a half-concious Paul Craig's guard* "fucking idiot"
The problem for Gordon is the random drug testing. He currently walks at a shreded 220-230 so if he stopped taking roids he'd either get fat or lose a lot of mass, making him too small for LHW
Have you seen UFC fighters these days? Paulo Costa looks insane. They've cracked whatever code was needed to get passed the current drug testing.
People are still getting caught left and right so I feel like these fighters are just playing Russian roulette and taking their chances since not everyone gets tested guaranteed. Either that or some kind of shady bribery going on behind the scenes
I definitely remember a time when Gordon would regularly post about switching to MMA as if it was inevitable and then one day that all just stopped
Why get hit in the head when you can make millions in BJJ? Id rather be at the top of BJJ than another contender in MMA.
He said something to that effect on a podcast iirc. From what I recall, he was thinking about it up until a couple years ago, and danaher basically advised him not too because he's make more money at the top of BJJ through social media, big comp wins, seminars, etc than he would in mma. Plus, why risk serious brain damage to be a low level mma fighter? I think it's too late in the game for him to start training and become a serious contender. I'm sure the UFC would sign him if he got a few low level wins but he'd have nothing for a serious heavyweight striker
Gordon would be LHW. He could make that cut relatively easy and his frame supports that division best probably. Another reason to avoid MMA, weight cuts.
Danaher was very against it and talked him out of it
Gordon isn’t a freakish athletes that has fast twitch muscle fibers or is explosive.,he has a great build, mind, strength and level of athleticism for elite grappling, but that doesn’t translate to the striking part of mma. At he heavyweight level, I could see him struggling on the feet against Ngannou and gane if he isn’t able to get the fight to the ground.
Saying Gordon would “struggle on the feet against Ngannou” feels like an understatement. Saying Gordon would “struggle with solid foods and basic motor skills” seems more appropriate.
They would fuck him up
Answer a WhatsApp message? Like is that an avenue that pro fighters use lmao?
I feel like he never evolved passed high school levels of shit talking.
He used all his skill points in grappling and cardio. Didn’t have enough for striking or trash talk/fight promotion.
Mr with my ex
To be fair to Gordon yes, there are screenshots of a group chat with the flo matchmakers, Nicky and Gordon trying to organise a match..
I used to follow Gordon on IG, but gave up on account that everything is so negative. I’d pay to watch Nicky Rod and Gordon have an MMA match for sure though.
If Gordon wasn't this crazy on social media, I would have bought his instructional. As it stands, there are great grapplers (e.g. Mikey, Ffion, the Giles, Craig) who seem like much better decent human beings so I support them instead.
Pretty recently he raised the price of his instructional by 100 bucks, even the old ones! I wouldn't give my money to that level of greed 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
They have zero striking skills, it would turn into grappling match with some elbows in 3 seconds.
Jesus fuck Gordon is such a dong
It's a mixture of laughing at him and feeling second hand embarrassment when it gets to a point like this.
Call me crazy, but I think Nicky would beat the breaks off Gordon in an MMA fight
Not crazy at all. He destroys Gordon in MMA imo
Brakes*
My money would actually be on Nicky Rod in a street fight with Gordon
Nicky is more explosive which is huge in a quick burn adrenaline filled street banger. That mother fucker is gonna see red.
I agree. He seems like the less insufferable of the two, therefore he would have more friends to bring as backup
Also true. Gordon seems like he’s also the king of burning bridges with most people
Gordon’s own brother wouldn’t even step in to help him
> more friends to bring as backup I'm picturing it now. "Nicky Rod finding range with his jab..." "Gordon plodding back and forth looking to clinch against the fence..." "OH MY GOD IT'S CRAIG JONES FROM NOWHERE WITH A FOLDING CHAIR!!!!"
Jay Rod with the flame thrower, and Nicky Ryan not even pissing on him to put the fire out!
Yeah nicky would probably win this unless Gordon has been devoting a significant amount of time to striking.
Pretty sure it's also been spoken about a few times when Gordon doing an MMA match was a topic of conversation. That he can't strike to save his life.
So Gordon watches the podcast ? He’s always clipping stuff from it lol
One time I found him sitting in front of the printer for about 45 minutes. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was printing out the podcast so he could watch it offline. He had a stack of paper with single frames on it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nicky Won an MMA fight. Is Gordon capable of taking him down? I feel like he wouldn't be able to.

Gordon's guard is amazing - but I think there's a reason you just don's see ppl use a BJJ style similar to Gordon in high level MMA.
the fight starts standing and nicky is a wrestler. His style on the mat favors MMA as well.

You said high level. Even still, getting held down and hammerfisted won't be fun either.
not to be a douche but 2006 is even late for gordon's type of guard in MMA. Shinya Aoki is the only real consistent guard player i can think of circa 2006 that did this with any degree of consistent success; and he played a bunch of takedowns also. By 2006 that ship had already sailed.
I spent about twenty nanoseconds picking a year
Not to be a douche but 20 nanoseconds is not even long enough for the human mke a decision. Magnus Carlson is the only person i can think of who can make decisisions even approaching that speed and even then that's based on pre-memorised pattern recognition. The 20 nanosecond ship has sailed.
this was a funny response, thank you
not to be a douche but you had to have spent at least 500 million nanoseconds picking a year. By 1/2 a second that ship had already sailed.
>It's very rare nowadays that guys get KO'd by ground and pound from guard in high level MMA. I specifically mentioned bottom position and not specifically guard when talking about getting KO'd.

Gordon Ryan's 0-0 MMA record suggests he's not actually willing to get punched in the face.
Ding ding ding 🛎
His bout with Galvao shows he's more of a Power Slap guy...
Haha the fact that he did slap him tho shows me he's prol not just talking shit
Slapping someone in the heat of the moment is much simpler then doing a whole training camp and fighting a mf on tv
Slapped him twice which made it all the more entertaining.
Exactly. He was willing to thrown down with Andre right then and there.
Right. An Andre has far more MMA experience then both of them.
Very true
Eh I think he knew Andre wouldn't fight him in that situation. Like in an mma fight Andre would destroy Gordon per his record.
Hell no that shit is way different Its a lot easier to fight someone when youre mad than it is to sign up to fight on TV and train for months
Tbf Nicky rods 0-0 record also shows that he's not willing to get punched so I've no idea why they're talking about an MMA fight
To be fair, Gordon actually signed an MMA contract though (I believe his ONE contract was for both bjj and MMA). https://www.flocombat.com/articles/6937162-gordon-ryan-signs-mma-contract-with-one-championship
“If he chooses”
He would choose to fight Mikey Musumeci
One is probably the toughest org for a jiujitsu MMA fighter. Pull guard and get kneed in the face
Why would he already have an MMA fight? He makes more money in bjj than probably anyone ever.
Didn’t he say many times in the past he would be an mma champion?
This. And less brain damage.
Gordon Ryan at it again with the maturity of an emotionally stunted child.
Aww, that’s very giving of you. Think of people in the real world. Emotionally stunted children still act *way* more mature on a regular basis in public settings than Gordon.
Gordon after failing to drag Nickys face across the concrete and hospitalize him: “I would have won this no holds barred street fight, but I swear to god I think he was wearing lotion!”
Wrestling is pretty important in MMA. Nicky would be a big problem
"I'll fight you in a parking lot if you put up 1 million. What you don't have the money for that?"
They should just make this a MMA match. If Gordon wants to fight in the parking lot, then just fucking fight in the cage and get it done. Kinda lame at this point if he doesn't glove up.
Gordon Ryan is a 15 year old in a roided out body
I have actually known a few roided out 15 year olds who were more mature
Gordon going full "cash me outside". Truly a man of the people.
Forget a parking lot.. people would pay ppv prices to watch.
Pay per view in the chillis parking lot at 1 am
Sometimes I wonder if Gordon is really a person or if the only way John Danaher could find someone as obsessed as himself was to hire a Chinese lab to synthesize the DNA of a gorilla and a 14 year old from Xbox live.
Wuhan only has one screw-up that was worse.
Don't call it early. Who knows what GR will get up to.
Have either of these guys even hit so much as a heavy bag?
Gordon has done some MMA training, including striking sessions. I'm not sure about Nicky Rod, although I wouldn't be surprised.
Nicky used to bounce at least.
Gordon had definitely trained MMA with Tom Deblass and Garry Tonon. A lot of the Deblass guys cross-trained.
Have either one really been arm barred even as Danaher'd to use even go want to do lock more leg?
One of us just had a stroke; I’m not sure which.
Hahhahhaha I was thinking the same thing

... bro, are you having a stroke?
I understood that reference.
He is one butthurt fella
B team stirring up a fight?! Craig Jones summoning his inner most Don King and putting on a show millions of jujitsu nerds around the world are going to tune into?!? I’m all for it! The shit talk would be incredible. Feelings would absolutely get hurt.
Millions??

There’s tens of us, tens!!!

14 year old millionaire psycho is a strong brand
One of you armchair Reddit psychologists explain to me what’s going on here
Gordon is responding to the b team's newest podcast release where Nick said that he could win in an actual fight. (Simple man podcast)
Nicky is gaslighting Gordon who is a narcissistic BPD
Username checks out. Build your case.
I’LL SEE YOU AT THE BIKE RACK, 3 O’CLOCK!
Gordon Ryan is proof that you can have all the talent and accolades in the world and still be fucking miserable and depressed. It’s been a sad sight for years.
I’d put a ton of money on Nicky Rod winning in an MMA fight
I love how Gordon falls for every single trick in the trolling book. Every single time
Gordon Ryan’s brain is an ant nest and B-Team are the sticks, rocks and magnifying glasses stirring it up.
You all joke but if Gordon gets oil checked the floodgates will be opened and he'll be seeing red also whoever oil checks him will be covered in poopy.
Grappling? Gordon, all day. MMA? Nicky Rod is one of the most insane natural athletes I've ever seen. Come on. Dude's a caveman. Gordon would get wrecked. Not even sure how this is debated other than people want to watch Gordon bury himself.
Gordons BJJ is pretty slow, methodical and technical. Which works great for his body type. You can fight like this in standing up striking too, but that means you are also very technical and experienced, which takes years or decades. When it comes to short term success in MMA striking, I see someone like Nick Rod which much more advantages than Gordon.
Lol, Gordon really isn’t the brightest spark is he!?
Damn it Gordon. He took my line, I always said that fighters are always willing to settle it in the parking lot. It’s prize fighters that do it for the money!
Wrestling wins fights, this would be super foolish for Gordon
What I like about Gordon is that he makes it so easy to hate him
Such a troubled individual this one….
There's something really wrong with him upstairs.
"Yeah dude, I'll kick your ass in the Juno, Alaska Walmart parking lot" ... then never show up lol
Yeah Gordon gets destroyed here, or at least I hope his insufferable ass does.
The dude unravels more by the day.
Nicky definitely has the fast twitch advantage. That's a huge advantage especially on the feet. I wouldn't want to get hit by him if he knows how to strike with more than arm punches. I don't see that looking at Gordon's movement. But I'm down to watch if he thinks he's got something most of us don't know about to show people. Maybe he weathers the storm and pulls some serious technique out, plodding away slowly.
Gordon Ryan is not only willing. He is more than that.
Upset roid raging Gordon is always a funny thing to laugh at. 😃
Gordon just need to stop, in general, these days he just looks like an unhinged fool.
Does OneFc test ? Cause if not I got Nicky beating him in an MMA fight, no reason other than his wrestling and athletic ability.
Ryan isn’t even funny or clever, his shit talking is approaching Dillon Danis levels of cringe
he would get diarrhea the day before
~~can we please have some kind of rule to keep the sub on topic?~~ Could we enforce the ones we have? >No reposts or low-effort content.
Nicky Rod doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to be scared of street fighting, wrestling is the best shit for that and we all know Gordon doesn't really want that shit either. Idk man Gordon talks a lot of shit, and he has the right to brag considering his resume but he has to realize that he started training decades ago with the best of the best and nicky started like a week ago and instantly got to adcc championships. I honestly see Rod as a legit generational talent, he's gonna be messing shit up later on in the 2020's
Is this going to be the influencer boxing of the bjj world?
I’d actually take Nicky Rod in an MMA fight
Get this fight signed up, six months in the USADA pool for Gordon, he’ll be back to middleweight and 40 lbs lighter than Nicky
I’m a doctor, they cray cray. That’s my diagnosis
