The Gordan Ryan critics said he had no chance to win the IBJJF No-Gi Worlds as he was a submission only person, but he did it. Gordan did it, but was disappointed because he did not submit everyone.
Gordan beat Evangelos Moumtzis, Khalil Fadlallah, Vegard Randeberg, Jackson Sousa, Yuri Simoes twice, Patrick Gaudio, and Cyborg.
The match with Cyborg has stirred up a lot of backlash and is going be long lasting in terms of bad blood between the camps.
Gordon was truly amazing.
