Gordon Ryan And Giancarlo Bodoni Clash In ADCC Training

[@hwago123]

Really nice to see Gordon work from a disadvantaged position, rarely get to see that, but it’s obvious is defense is second to none.

[@KaiChor-p1o]

Love to see two legends putting in work

Gordon's cameraman is in this video using proper equipment, gimble ect. unlike the handycam the amateur Flo hired

[@donniem6783]

He turned away on purpose because it wasn't a throw, he slapped him in the balls.

The amount of hand and foot control sparring was ridiculous !! Legends here !

[@HershelPeppers]

I don't get it, Flo. You got EPIC TRAINING FOOTAGE of two surgically professional titans giving each other a good round and there are TWO cameras on them but the editor doesn't cut to the other camera to give us better views??? Completely missed that take down at 4:25 but there's a dude with a camera getting that footage...? Don't do drugs, Flo! When Gordon and Giancarlo and Meregali are rolling together don't you dare take our eyes off them!

[@Schwerthase]

I think the second one wasn't by Flo. Maybe from the New Wave channel?

[@herreragonza5891]

Now I get why B Team Channel was seen by more than 50 Million ppl last month and Flo not even close to that....

[@buddhastl7120]

Flo has been a gatekeeper for the sport. They monopolize content behind a paywall so BJJ and wrestling never reach the masses. Filling their pockets > growing the sport.

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

Amazing no guard playing!

[@TheDomLouis]

8:13 with the triangle locked at the bottom, couldn't Bodoni use his right leg to pommel behind Gordon's bottom/left ankle or calf to try to unravel the body lock?? Bodoni was already on his side and the 2 legs are pretty close to each other. Can some higher belts suggest what other options someone could use to get out, that i might not be seeing?

[@josephninosky6057]

Bodoni looks strong. I hope he is able to win gold again. He's an easy guy to root for.

[@chennekam]

Wonder how many rounds deep Gordon was as he was looking pretty fatigued right from the start. Still able to go hard with Bodoni who is a fucking beast. And those other 2 smaller dudes next to them were going hard out.

[@billj4525]

This is Gordon going easier, and letting his opponent get some good positions while trying to improve on those positions and just in general. That's fun to watch though.

[@kicksnarehat4393]

@8:05 and @8:55 giancarlo traps gordons foot, what's that about? Is he trying to somehow hand it off to his hand? I thought the triangle escape was sliding the foot under the leg and opening it up that way, must be something I'm missing.

[@ericleach3245]

what body triangle escape was Giancarlo going for when Gordon had his back?

[@chrisgaffney7265]

He had the ankle locked up , several times he had it right , but he doesn’t wanna hurt him

[@fullimetal7581]

FloGrappling literally has worse camera of any content company ever. It runs like a highschool group of kids not getting paid. Bros, be better. This video is about Gordan Ryan. Maybe put him in the shot. Or at least fixate on the other people. You're switching back and forth almost like you don't know what to shoot.

Gordon Ryan is a finisher. He was in a couple of bad spots, But he always weathers the storm and finishes well.. amazing athlete.

[@billj4525]

Yeah, and this is Gordon just going easy and letting his opponent get good positions on him. That's how these guys improve. They never go hard in training. Gordon specifically would always go very easy in training. Putting himself in bad positions is a good thing, and most of the top guys try that.

[@goodoledad]

gordon doesn't look as juicy as last adcc and it makes me sad

[@billj4525]

Hard to tell, but he looks probably 10 pounds smaller or so. Trust me, he knows what he's doing though, and maybe felt he could lower his dose slightly. He never looked juiced when competing to me anyway. It was the photos and the magazines where he looked juiced. Gordon definitely is coming in there at his best regardless of what he takes. If he's on a smaller dose then it's for a reason. He'll be at his best, and hopefully performs at his best as well. Remember, the juice is a very very small part of the total product, it's about the jiu jitsu and the technique, especially with a guy like Gordon, and he's talked about this. The juice will just help his athletic ability, and I'm sure he's on enough to optimize his performance with that.

[@SergiosSeramaChickens]

So it’s possible to beat Gordon if you try… 😂

[@caveman726]

Ever since Steroids, these athletes have improved so much, amazing!

[@billj4525]

Well Gordon got bigger and stronger, but I don't think his jiu jitsu improved at at all. That kind of goes without saying though, obviously steroids wouldn't improve the technical part of jiujitsu. The big thing for Gordon was his size, which also allowed him to be stronger.

[@dakotaendres5260]

Other camera has better position lmao

[@kyleishikawa345]

How did Gian survive that fully locked in RNC at 9:00? Jesus. All four of my molars would have exploded.

[@logman5357]

Gordon went palm to palm but I feel like he had space and time to lock it up properly

[@JoyBoyjj]

I think him keeping his arm up gave him a bit of space to be able to breath along with stretching back away from the choke rather than into it , then with the little space pushing his thumb and hand up at the wrist to open the space from the choke up more

[@tinoslaponi8514]

Just my 2 cents as an old Black belt. I don't think Gordon was giving 100%, it looked like he allowed quite a few advantages that he could have easily defended. Of course you never know how many rounds each athlete had already done. I suspect that if Gordon really wanted the tap, he would have gotten it. Take nothing away from Bodoni, I've rolled with him and he destroyed me, but he's about 30lbs smaller than Gordon.

[@billj4525]

​@@tinoslaponi8514 Oh yeah, not a chance he was. A guy like Gordon would never go 100% in training. In fact, I'm sure he lets his opponent get good positions on him. Going his hardest would not help Gordon improve. I hope people aren't thinking he's going anywhere near his hardest. Gordon is the best. Getting in bad spots and learning from this is one way he improves. He goes easy on even the toughest opponents, or easier I should say.

[@andersnilssondvm]

Or gordon had 8 tough rounds allready before and decided to train defenses and bad positions. We dont know

[@billj4525]

This is sparring. You realize Gordon never goes anywhere close to 100% in sparring. He purposely puts himself in bad positions, that's one way he improves. This is a technique many top guys use. You can tell just by watching he was going easy. This is just how things are done by top guys. He didn't get smoked anyway, but even if he did it would have meant absolutely nothing happening in training.
