He definitely won this years KFCC

Easily 2 most feminine guys in BJJ

[@adveni323]

Why??

[@DenerPinto94]

Garry does this thing all the time, he gives you the back to roll for a knee bar or anckle lock. Gordon just knows how to kill the position.

[@JG-uw3ch]

LOL, yea please link me a match where Garry lost back position on a step over knee bar. . . . . . .

[@TheGodfather101]

I mean it makes sense a guy that trains with you would pick up on the nuance

Gary threw this match, its quite obvious, he didnt want to take Gordon's energy for later rounds.

Yes, a key aspect of this match most people missed. In fact you might argue Gary won this match overall

Gordan is something special. He was tonnen's student a few years ago and now look at him! Tonnen is an elite elite BJJ artist and to submit him you need to be extra special

[@JSTIZZY189]

When the student surpassed his instructor it's not a mistake that's he made ten years ago its everything thing the teacher did right ten years ago. Gordon Ryan is living proof that Gary Tonon is not only one of the greatest bjj graplers in the world but one of the greatest bjj instructors. Gordon is the finished product, props to Gary and John Danaher of course.

[@iWubmusic]

@@JSTIZZY189 and Tom Deblas its insane how he doesn't get credit for them two. He trained Gary his whole life and and early gordo

[@idoestate3300]

lol I remember meeting both these two out on a night out in Cardiff in the UK, I think it was after Polaris 2 I think. Gary and Gordon were both in the smoking area by themselves and I instantly recognised them and went all fan boy LOL. They were cool, and it was awesome to meet them, little did I know the tall dude who quietly stood there (Gordon) with Gary would one day be what he is today. I had a funny photo we posed for, but i lost it on an old phone :(

[@christianarias851]

Almost equal skills but a way different physicality. Tbh it's pretty cool to see students surpassing their mentors (Craig defeating Lachlan, Pena beating the guys that defeated Rómulo and now Gordon surpassing Garry).

[@philippheine4261]

@high horse Juice or not, Gordon is about 15cm taller than Garry anyway... Of course he is much bigger.

[@kianbazarjani194]

If you actually look at how much Gordon was relying on his physical attributes in comparison to his technical prowess you’d see this is a simple case of his teacher having done his job properly and thus producing a student better than himself. That, in conjunction with Garry actually going out with the goal of submitting Gordon and ending up rolling for an entrance into cross ashi garami that was not there, resulted in the tap.

[@VinylUnboxings]

@@kianbazarjani194 I see your point, but I've also heard Gordon has vicegrips for hands, which is hard to see, but can make all the difference in key moments.

[@Karanar]

Gordon's skill is also much better. Just look back at fights between tonon and keenan. Keenan absolutely dominates tonon, but Gordon dominates keenan

[@shnizzyshnizzy7552]

@@Karanar what? keenan vs garry hasn't taken place in SIX years.. was all pre danaher and some was gi/points.. no-gi garry today is on another level-especially sub only (the only good ruleset).. please check the facts before making silly statements

[@flanker909]

When u let go of one of your opponents arms just to give a chance to tap is beyond mastery. This dude is in a league of his own. GOAT.

[@MOG3]

he didnt let go, garry escaped the grip on his hand and was going to try ease the strangle off, gordon raised is arm to stop garry reaching the strangle hand

[@jameshughes1097]

Gary escaped his arm but Gordon hid his strangle hand under his own chin, making it inaccessible for Tonan to peel off. It’s one of the reasons it’s so important to go ear to your opponents ear when applying a RNC.

[@mowgli123456789]

[@Aaron-uv5nq]

underrated comment

[@LionWolfTactical]

Here's a fact. When skills are equal in Jiu Jitsu, Size and Strength DOES MATTER. And even if they aren't equal, Size still matters, but size/strength makes much more of a difference when their skills are fairly equal. Gordon is bigger and stronger and Just as good as Garry.

[@rykehuss3435]

Size, strength, endurance and stamina always matters, no matter who is against who. Theyre always a factor, just like experience and skills are a factor.

[@Brian-hg3gt]

Yes but the critical moments was decided by the tactical error on that leg lock attempt that gave up his back and Gordon’s solid fundamental to keep his knee to the floor. Both dudes are still legends ofc but Gordon is the best at what he does, at least for the time being.

[@dudealbert11]

Hes juicy 💉

[@nathanmorar8007]

Completely agree. Even if Gary is slightly better than Gordan technically, Gordan is a lot bigger and is 100% focusing on no gi. Gary also trains mma. I do think it’s weird that Gary gave his back so easily knowing how good Gordan is on the back but that was probably just a tactical error. Gordan has most likely passed Gary in submission grappling.

[@dravenwag]

size and strength are not the catch all that you believe they are. Gary Tonon was not better or even equal to Gordon Ryan at this point, it's not anything against Gary, gordon ryan is literally just a grappling freak even in comparison to the greats. That's just how it is. Gordon could have been dehydrated and a week and a half into a fast and still not lost.

[@Jorge-wg9tq]

When you introduce a friend to a Video game only for them to man handle you on it barely after 😂

[@rjmn1]

Gordon Ryan makes Elite grapplers look ordinary, and they aren't. Unbelievable. 🤷‍♂️

[@kylehornby8886]

Prime example of teaching someone everything you know. Two of the greatest grapplers ever.

[@hannibalb8276]

Ryan literally too relaxed when doing this, it's hard to imagine how anyone can remain that relaxed and composed doing something like that

[@Deathadder1994]

Why is it bad to be relaxed? Being relaxed and calm is the best way, It helps you focus and think clearly.. What do you mean by “Doing something like that?”

[@Phcx-_-]

gary tonon has been in like 3/5 of the best adcc matches in history🤣

[@msimelelomqikwa1213]

What's your top 5?

[@toomuchtruth]

2:14 right arm underhook -> left wrist control to feed to right hand -> Leg isolates left arm. That move was fucking SLICK! The beauty of it is that Garry knows EXACTLY what Gordon is trying to do but still can't stop it!

[@graciescottsdale]

VERY difficult to stop

[@plantsir9173]

Facing the goat no go grapper “how can I make this even harder on myself?” *offers up back*

[@danieffendi5556]

I mean he was back stepping for honeyhole and gordon countered it to be fair. And then he immediately tried to put his back to the mat but Gordon do be like dat

[@natediaz2920]

Dani Effendi Exactly! Gary was looking for inside leg position with his right leg, presumably to back step to saddle/honey hole. It happens so very quickly, Gordon pummels hid feet back inside, gets a shin to shin, then elevates Garry’s lead foot. Already with momentum in that direction, Garry has to take a back step to regain balance. While this leg pummeling/elevating is happening, Gordon already has his arm wrapped around Garry’s right thigh. Even if Garry had inside position, which he didn’t, Gordon’s left arm would deny the entry to saddle. You can see this around 0:06. Garry already knows this isn’t good and is trying to bail out, but Gordon keeps control and works towards the back. The entire sequence takes about 2 seconds and shows how well these guys know each other’s game.

[@MrStrongBro]

“Maybe Gary is gonna show how to defend the back” 😂

[@imightdeletethislater3810]

@@letstalkcaliber704 My point is that Garry had next to zero chance of winning this. Gordon said it himself in a podcast that the match was a reflection of how their sparring sessions go usually. Size disadvantage plus knowledge of the matchup. Romulo and Roger fought it out in the 2009 Worlds even though they were from the same team. Romulo immediately jumped guard. I didnt see anyone call bullshit there ''Oh did you just jump guard against the best pressure passer in history? Come on mahhhhhn.'' Its not like he had a choice, much like Garry here. He knew he couldnt take Gordon down, couldnt leg lock him and couldnt play guard against him.

W Baldwin Bro, don’t be delusional. His transformation was abrupt. Just look at his girlfriend; she’s a bodybuilder who is notably juicing (ie. Masculine traits). I couldn’t care less but don’t see the need of being self-delusional

[@segura9]

W Baldwin he was already in his prime, training everyday, with the strictest training and life routine, immediately prior to getting jacked. Nothing to be shamed about; pretty much everyone in the Bjj and no gi competition circuit is juicing.

[@thewoo205]

Paul Robinson use your brain with the context pal. He meant he didn’t just intentionally give up his back like the commentator first suggested.

[@MrSarky1992]

Yepp, saddle then a kneebar attempt.

[@LordKookooface]

He gave his back. Jesus. What.

[@MrHamncheez]

OR hes 50 pounds lighter

[@keredchang]

He didn't give it. Gordon took it. Start watching at :09 and take position and weight into account. LIke someone who knows jiu-jitsu would. At least with the commentator you can chalk it up to a bad angle or lack of focus.

[@keredchang]

@W Baldwin 100%, but it starts much before that. At 0:09 you see Gary try to backstep and Gordon immediately posts his right arm to prevent it. Gordon then changes the post to a waist grab and pulls Garry with both arms. That constant pulling pressure and tight ride is why Garry looks immobilized. Once Garry stands up and Gordon pivots to his backside, that's when Garry knows he's threatened with a crab ride or eventual back take. So while Gordon is falling back to initiate the back take, Garry attempts the kneebar before Gordon has full leg or upperbody control. Garry didn't give up his back, he simply made a counter move that exposed it and Gordon countered so that he couldn't regain positioning.

[@tle398]

Garry went for a reverse Ashi Garami. It's a battle for grips. If you can maintain a grip on their lower legs, it's difficult for them to create actual back exposure. Gordon broke him down into an unathletic position with control around Garry's hips. The moment Garry lost the grips he had to defend. If you're thinking that move is too risky you need to remember the alternative is to try to guard pass from an inside position the 200 lb #1 no gi grappler

They're almost IMPOSSIBLE! I've trained with guys who took my back and body-triangled me, and all I could do was literally defend a choke for 3 minutes just to finish the round and survive. It's almost impossible to get out of a really tight body-triangle without desperate measures such as poking someone in the eye. In a sporting MMA event, it's very tough. The best strategy is probably not to get there in the first place.

@@danielt.4330 indeed very hard but if you are very flexible and can get your lets up high enough. You can hook one leg and swing your legs up to kinds grab that triangled foot.

[@damontan4749]

The counter is to ankle lock the foot that is across your body. Swing your foot over the straight leg of his triangle and make sure it is against the ground so he can’t unhook it and then apply force with your foot backwards and hips forward to attempt to break his ankle if the ankle pops out then it’s fine too cause you are now out of the body triangle, so either you break his ankle or you get out of the body triangle both are good. Of course with both arms defend against the choke the whole time

Yes, Tonon paid for Ryan to make it to his gym for years, train fees, gas, etc. Student beating his teacher basically. Pretty sure they're BFFs. However u need to consider the size difference. This is in a division where any weight can enter to prove they're the best. But Ryan had a HUGE size advance over Tonon.

Gordon is just built for strictly jiu jitsu, the dude is so technical very high IQ AND has mass and knows how to use it. It's just really unlikely for a smaller guy to ever beat him. In MMA it would be another story, but their are better builds for certain sports and bigger guys always have had advantage in wrestling and pure grappling. I'm a small guy and in ancient Greece the only sport where weight wasn't a factor was Pankration, aka no rules except no biting or eye gouging or killing.
