​@@huwhitecavebeast1972 I really wouldn't call Ryan a decent human being

[@RMichaelHimself]

4:18 the nuances to how Gordon defends this arm bar is incredible. Watch it in 0.25x speed and note how Gordon uses his shins and forearms to shield his chest and stomach - preventing his opponent from getting his legs involved in the arm bar to create leverage. The opponent is unable to secure any points of attachment or control to Ryan aside from the arm itself, which is not sufficient to prevent the subsequent roll & escape. Forreal, watch it in 0.25x and pause liberally to take it in. It’s amazing… especially when you consider this was EARLYYY in Gordon’s career and the very beginning chapter of his development into the GOAT. Nowadays he has every single position, every single movement, every possible outcome from every possible angle… all down to a science. Gordon isn’t even really putting on an athletic performance when he competes anymore… he’s out studying people and out-nerding them with his understanding of physics and human body mechanics. Like he’s doing stuff and creating wedges and angles with hus body that his opponents don’t even understand, let alone know how to defeat it. Then on top of it, he obviously IS an athletic specimen… *and* he’s taking steroids. Put it all together and I’m not sure the laws of physics, nor our current modern understanding of the human body, allow this man to be defeated in a 1 vs 1 submission competition.

That's crazy, I used to whip this dude years ago when we were kids! What's up Gordon, it's Francis Sébastien from 308!

[@AlexVasquez-g9s]

Awesome to overcome sickness and humble a king til he was ready to go again by God's glory you were healed and continue to show you are the greatest. Great job Alex

[@ghrocker99661]

He looks absolutely astounding for a 72 year old, my god. Ages like no other!

Ryan has awesome tactics, exciting watching his climb great up load.

JUST A GREAT VIDEO with A GREAT STORY! Watched every minute of it! Well deserved GR!

[@chrisjohnson6138]

The last guy he fought literally looks like a boss from a video game. This guy is a legend Gordon

[@JimC607]

He's only 27? Damn, all that gear has him looking like he's 40.

[@DeathByPelican]

Amazing video ❤🙌 I would love to see more videos like these all combat sports elites and wouldn't run out of content ever

[@nrtwitty]

Why do people just ignore the fact this man is juiced to get to where he is?

[@mokseee]

Probably because it's somewhat the norm in grappling. Tho he is a outstanding grappler he really seems to take it to the max. It's also the obvious reason why he isn't transitioning to MMA

[@wethenorth269]

Hands down 1 of the best sports documentary.

[@ProudFilthyCasual]

It's truly insane. I'm always gonna wonder what he would have looked like if he put that same mind towards MMA.

[@AlexZander688]

It's a much different sport when you are getting wrestled and punched and kicked while attempting to bjj an opponent. In BJJ, he can just focus on that specifically. I would expect, if he can handle getting whacked in the head a bit, he could transition just fine to MMA. But he would have to learn how to deal with the Dagestan type grappling as well. ....Also, looks like Ryan is sporting some bulging veins. Probably using PEDs. Would probably test positive if fighting MMA. Not sure how strict bjj tournaments are with testing for PEDs.

[@ProudFilthyCasual]

@AlexZander That's not how good BJJ athletes would transition to MMA, which is why Gordon hasn't done it. Even Garry trying to do it the right way took several years. Not to mention Gordon possesses more than just BJJ, he does have the type of high level wrestling that can be used very effectively in MMA. Striking can absolutely be taught.

[@madmatixx]

He might join now since UFC are canceling their contract with USADA.

[@ProudFilthyCasual]

@@madmatixx No, he’s stated he has no plans to do MMA.

Gordon Ryan vs khabib would be fire

[@luketrible]

@@seekforjannah2432 khabib fan here, but his style fits perfect for mma and not pure grappling. In a grappling match khabib would loose without any chance :)

[@billj4525]

@@seekforjannah2432 In what? In grappling Gordan Ryan kills him, but in MMA Khabib kills him. All that should be pretty obvious I would think.

[@Unosolo_23]

We need this man in the UFC right now 💯

[@Sapreme]

He rather be a big fish in a small pond. Dude has 0 striking and 0 wrestling

[@Bacnow]

You know he’s juiced to the gills, right? If he advanced into the UFC without roids and with no striking or kicking defense or ability, he’d be absolutely destroyed! It wouldn’t even be close!

[@kaasbra4027]

Probably gonna get some heat for this, but i would like to see a grappling and submission match with gordon vs khabib

[@nathantheophilus4856]

no heat but it wouldn't be close. just size and strength difference is too much. Khabib's lost a decision to a noname russian bjj black belt before (in submission grappling, not mma). not hard to believe gord does whatever he wants. It's no knock on khabib either it's jsut crazy you're expecting a lightweight to go against a heavyweight in a completely different sport and think it would be competitive. It's honestly sort of like supposing that canelo beats ernesto hoost in kickboxing - or saying gervonta davis beats usman in mma

[@k1llersm0ke32]

He’s obviously supremely talented at grappling and submissions. But it stinks we haven’t been able to see him in a MMA fight and probably won’t. But I had serious stomach issues as well and I truly feel for the guy. It’s a problem that persists throughout your life and there are times that I’ll get bad stomach issues out of nowhere. Even when taking care of yourself, abstaining from drinking, eating the right foods, taking vitamins and supplements! You can live the healthiest lifestyle but if you have this problem non of that will help. If he does find a solution or something that helps, PLEASE let the rest of us know!

[@MRiLEGACY]

hes a jui jitsu fighter not an mma fighter fk off

For real. I'm doing everything seemingly right then boom, a week of stomach pain out of nowhere. Still looking for an explanation.
