Spent 32 hours this weekend since Friday night watching CJI, ADCC and UFC...Easily one of my son and I greatest weekends of our lives! I was genuinely concerned for Gordon's health during the Felipe match, there was a moment there where he came up on top after a hard scramble late in the match and I thought he was going to pass out. Glad he was able to survive and cement his legacy, but man I really hope he can go away and get healthy. At this point it seems like we'll be lucky if he's still alive for the next ADCC =[
Yea I watched every match from both tournaments. I told my girlfriend that I've never seen Gordon look that tired before. He usually can grapple for an hour straight and still look fresh. This time he looked exhausted. He only had a 10 day camp and apparently he tore his LCL during the Pena match and after all that he still won both matches. GOAT!!!!!!!.
@@jamesallenyz431 Agreed, I couldn't believe it when they announced they were about to start the -88 tournament. Can't imagine being an athlete waiting all that time before having to START competing =]
He is so obsessed with Roger Gracie records, but Roger was fighting gi and no gi at the same time in the highest level, so more difficult than Gordon that just fight no gi.

Same as the UFC. Promoters keep thinking the PPV model (or with Flo the annual sub model) is going to make them the most amount of money, when in actuality a TV deal (or RUclips deal with sponsors) is the best. It's why the NHL can afford an average contract of 3.5m/player with roughly the same viewership as the UFC, yet the UFC's average fighter makes less than 200k/year.
Okay... I am not a huge Gordan fan, however, the fact that people are saying he's lost a step after beating Yuri 21-0 shows just how high he's set the bar! For reference... Yuri did not concede A SINGLE POINT at ADCC in 2022. Gordan scored 21 on him in one match. Insane.

I don’t think people realize how hard this is for Gordon. As a father of a son who has been fighting severe Crohn’s disease and has been wrestling and doing jiujitsu his entire life I can confirm how difficult this is. My son says some of the same things as Ryan.

Not really, love him or hate him...he's just in a different league....ots good to hear about his injuries and gut issues...as someone who is as fragile as Samuel L Jackson character in Unbreakable and with gut issues myself....its inspiring to see someone dping so well with the issues hes got.
What I love about Gordon Ryan is that in his interview he talks about the work and in everyone else’s interviews (too include my man CJ) they talk about talk about him 😂
Make fun of it all you want, but I would be willing to put good money that if CJI hasn't folded in the next 3 years, then the pay they are offering is going to go way down.
@@IphigeniaAtAulis why would it fold in 3 years? Literally the million is funded by Craig Jones homey and they will raise shit ton of money from views and events in coming years as they made it just free on youtube. I don’t see how homey funded money for an event will fail in 3 years.
Very true. I was litterally saying that I've never seen him look that tired in a match. He looked exhausted after like 10 min. The previous pena match was like 45 min and gordon looked like he could have gone another 45 min with no problem. Operating at 30 % with 10 days to train and still finds a way to win. Ppl can talk shit but nobody is on that level. GOAT
For those that don't follow closely I shall sum it up. Gordon Ryan is the Greatest BJJ practitioner ever. Period. Imagine finding out his health has hindered him greatly ( chrons etc) and he is still being the greatest. In this sport that's impossible!! Literally impossible! Over half a decade or more. But he has shown it's not impossible for him. John Danaher spoke about GR long ago. And imparted all that he could into his knowledge base. But I will shut up with the following statement. We won't see another GR........ever. .....He just came along unusually in a sport where no one is invincible........no one.......( Psst......only one ).
@@kappanegra4400 rod has about 650k after taxes. I’m assuming Gordon has more. Either way the bet idea is dumb. Just find a way to promote the match and they both can get paid.
The funny thing is how people look at him as the bad guy. Then again, regardless of certain facts and details, he does try to create attention for the sport and his "heel" role has become a part of everything
It's not a role; he's being himself. This isn't WWE. The guy attacks the voices and opinions of women. As a man who has no idea how the world works, let alone what it's like to be a woman, why is he so antagonistic toward women? It's weird; he's weird, and the only attention he deserves is for his Jiu-Jitsu, but even that is fading.
@@Ceeouidconsidering half of America doesn't even know what classifies as a woman, how is anyone suppose to know how a woman feels when people can flip flop the term when it fits their narrative? There was a Trans man who fought as a woman against a woman in the this years Olympics. SHOULD we ask her feels to be a woman?
@@Ceeouidjust because he attacks women’s opinions isn’t worth hating him for, he attacks men’s opinions even more viciously. His skills are second to none, and that’s all that is of utmost importance. If you want a roll model for public relations then idk what to tell you
Early on in Gordons career he seemed to enjoy doing grappling - the same abrassive personality but it seemed like he did enjoy himself. All I hear now is that he didn’t really want to do adcc for himself, everybody sucks, everybody is a hater, everybody doing something else is a scumbag etc etc…. I think the legacy thing is already taken care of at this point - if you’re in a situation where you are truly misserable you should get out and do something else for your own well being…. Genuinenly hoping for him to find peace and letting his body heal
Being the Master of the sport requires a lot. Dedication, Skills, Intellect, giving "Total Respect" to the person who guided you to achieve everything. Haters and Jealousy will never make you a better individual at the end of the day. See the comparison of John Danaher's ways, manner and aura from the rest of the Jiu Jitsu world. A TRUE teacher and master with NO arrogance in his veins. To give sincere recognition when its due will make things much pleasant.
Gordon is a warrior, still winning despite physical ailments and constant criticism. This man is the best. I hope he heals his body and enjoys life. Big respect.
How humble is this guy for savin the show? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a joke this dude is! He dont have physical ailments, he's the modern day drug addict athelete! A shame for the young atheletes by promoting roids! A shame for the sport for ducking competition! A true cockroach under a shady organization that dosen't pay their atheletes!
Totally agreed, CJI was just so much better in all aspects. I just can't wrap my head around how Craig was able to get it that good, the very first time around. Very impressive production. Sometimes I just couldn't believe I was watching a tournament with that level of overall quality for free on RUclips.

@@marcalexander5594 Gordon is 29 and i think hes still at his best tbh, but his stomach is holding him back alot. Which is actually sad for health issues like that to happen to anyone trying to take the sport to the next level. I think if hes stomach was fine and all he would bring up his shit talking alot more to get more eyeballs on the sport. I think that with the health issues hes got hes not doing run-backs fighting guys hes already beat twice, i think hes focusing on new bjj artists to test himself. I think hes done with N-rod and one cant blame him for that, done and dusted. I really dig N-rod and i was super sad to see Jay rod not get the gold, but then again B-team silver is the real gold ^^
Boo Gordon for getting 2 medals for 2 fights. Kaynan did 8 matches to earn his. Shame on MO and ADCC for this. They made this so Gordon can get more medals than Marceloa Garcia who had to run through full brackets to EARN his medals.
@@nathantheophilus4856 yeah sorry aboit that. I meant Galvao of course who has 6 golds. I just think that adcc gold should be earned and held at the same standard during the years. Gordon gets to play by different rules for gold medals= unfair. If Kaynan would have had same rules he would have picked up 8 golds this weekend for evey fight he won. The gold loose its value when it is awarded for every win. Should loosers of superfights get silvermedals? Adcc, keep the highest standard or loose your value.
This is it this is how the King should be and is. Stood his ground with dignity never gave up. Gordon is an inspiration for me and my son and he proved again that he is totally worth it. It’s always a pleasure watching the king perform his art. And Jon …. there aren’t enough good words for him. He is the professor that everyone should wish for. Jon did so much for the sport. Gordon and Jon are writing history in real time and to all haters till they do better they better shut up.
So much respect for you Gordon! It’s like watching the Jordon of our time! I hope someday you get a grip on your stomach issues. It would be so unbelievable to see you at 100%!!!
This guy’s most formidable opponent is his gut health. It’s admirable that he persevered and won yet again. He’s the bjj 🐐 I wish I could ask him if he’s tried BPC-157 capsules for his stomach issues.
I honestly believe all these physical problems are the manifestations of being really unhappy and the trmemndous amount of emotional pressure he puts on himself. I say this as a huge fan of his Jiu Jitsu. Seems like a deeply emotionally tortured person
It's pretty obvious Gordon is telling the truth. He's always been honest about his performances, I feel bad that one of the best grapplers of all time is physically suffering, which denies us the opportunity to see greatness at work.
CJI definitely won the weekend. ADCC was great, but CJI had the best matches by a notable margin. ADCC couldn't touch Tackett vs Ruotolo - that match was insane.
The man is the epitome of "suffering in silence." I didn't even watch this and can pretty much guarantee its about 12 mins of him talking about how hard this past year has been for him, all the things he's overcome, health issues, injuries, etc. Dude, you had the two most boring fights of the weekend and the most inconsequential wins in jitz history, take your medals (the real one and the one you invented) go home, order a pizza, pop some pepto bismal for your lil' belly, and watch CJI in order see some exciting jiu jitsu.
Cji was so exciting I completely forgot Gordon was even competing LOL he definitely sounds butt hurt that there was a competition in town😂 I guess he's a little salty about the Miata
i dont belive you, i dont even train bjj and i knew CJI was happening and that gordon was having a super fight. i watched the cji the day after each even :D
@@MrB1gPants tbh i think they only announce when people accept, not every sendout. I think its obvious that Gordon was invited because he would bring alot of eyeballs from Adcc over to CJI, to be able to snipe alot of athletes + the best grappler in the world would solidify CJI as the most prestigeous bjj event this year. I think with all the trolling and hate thorwards gordon ryan from craig over the years has Understandably prolly made it impossible for Gordon to work with Craig. Me personally, it would be cherry ontop if Gordon would join the CJI and snipe the 1 mil and Craig has to give it to him xD
Gordon’s biggest flaw is caring what random people on the internet think. If he could truly move past that, he’d be good to go. You’ll know he’s moved past it when he never talks about it or addresses it in any way.
I posted on IG that he would make excuses as to why he didn't perform, he replied and said idk if you know this but you don't need to make excuses when you win and then 12 hours later boom - he's making excuses
This comments section is evidence of why Gordon’s the biggest name by a looooong shot in submission grappling, aside from his obvious skills that those same commenters refuse to acknowledge.
Here's a fact... not a single person comenting here could hang with GR on his worst day. Losers concentrate on Winners--Winners concentrate on Winning.
Thank God, Gordon has Tom in the corner. He wasn't taking them collar tie cracks across the face, eyes & head very well. We could see the patience growing thin with his feet moving forwards, aggressively. That would've sucked badly, this year. Tom trained him well. But lessons are easy to forget.
I’d really like to know the inside story/truth about the jiu jitsu world. The way Gordon speaks is as if Craig’s side of the industry betrayed and backstabbed to get where they are with CJI which I can see from a certain POV but Mo and ADCC definitely should have focused more on paying the athletes rather than things like having Bruce buffer as the announcer
Everyone in the sport is so miserable...
Craig Jones looked pretty happy this weekend along with the rest of them at CJI lol
You are correct, because they go out there and fight and destroy their bodies for peanuts. Giant scam on the whole sport to not pay the top guys what they are worth

@@marcalexander5594 Gordon is 29 and i think hes still at his best tbh, but his stomach is holding him back alot. Which is actually sad for health issues like that to happen to anyone trying to take the sport to the next level.
I think if hes stomach was fine and all he would bring up his shit talking alot more to get more eyeballs on the sport.
I think that with the health issues hes got hes not doing run-backs fighting guys hes already beat twice, i think hes focusing on new bjj artists to test himself. I think hes done with N-rod and one cant blame him for that, done and dusted. I really dig N-rod and i was super sad to see Jay rod not get the gold, but then again B-team silver is the real gold ^^
@@marcalexander5594 The last match was close because of the rule set allowing Nicky to be in positions he would never get normally.
Boo Gordon for getting 2 medals for 2 fights. Kaynan did 8 matches to earn his. Shame on MO and ADCC for this. They made this so Gordon can get more medals than Marceloa Garcia who had to run through full brackets to EARN his medals.
He did that 2022...
@@nathantheophilus4856 yeah sorry aboit that. I meant Galvao of course who has 6 golds. I just think that adcc gold should be earned and held at the same standard during the years. Gordon gets to play by different rules for gold medals= unfair. If Kaynan would have had same rules he would have picked up 8 golds this weekend for evey fight he won. The gold loose its value when it is awarded for every win. Should loosers of superfights get silvermedals? Adcc, keep the highest standard or loose your value.
@@andersnilssondvmGordon beat everybody who in the bracket was going to give him trouble ? Stupid Brazilian
@@andersnilssondvm Totally agreed! And lets not talk about the scoring system being shady asf!
Wrong
American hero 😂😂😂😂😂 im sorry but CJI was great for the sport for all level’s.
Three guarantees in life: death, taxes and Gordon "almost" pulling out of an event 😭🙏
Oh man, when was the ADCC? I had no idea they were even doing it this year, I did watch the CGI tho, and that was absolutely amazing
Man, his injuries and medical struggles -- for being so relatively young -- are pretty crazy. I keep forgetting he's so much younger than he looks.
This is it this is how the King should be and is.
Stood his ground with dignity never gave up.
Gordon is an inspiration for me and my son and he proved again that he is totally worth it.
It’s always a pleasure watching the king perform his art. And Jon …. there aren’t enough good words for him. He is the professor that everyone should wish for. Jon did so much for the sport.
Gordon and Jon are writing history in real time and to all haters till they do better they better shut up.
So much respect for you Gordon! It’s like watching the Jordon of our time! I hope someday you get a grip on your stomach issues. It would be so unbelievable to see you at 100%!!!
The king came in at 20% and still rules. Long live KING RYAN!
mindset of a champion- no one is beating his will to win
He needs to address that epic Nicky Rod callout.
This guy’s most formidable opponent is his gut health. It’s admirable that he persevered and won yet again. He’s the bjj 🐐 I wish I could ask him if he’s tried BPC-157 capsules for his stomach issues.
I don't think Gordon will make it to 2026. He will unfortunately succumb to his stomach issues. At least he said he would die happy!
Gordon seems like he’s really fun at parties
“I was operating at only 30%”…… oookkaayy Kamaru Usman lmaoo😂😂😂
I forgot ADCC even happened 😂 I was watching the superior event, CJI
I honestly believe all these physical problems are the manifestations of being really unhappy and the trmemndous amount of emotional pressure he puts on himself. I say this as a huge fan of his Jiu Jitsu. Seems like a deeply emotionally tortured person
The stomach is where most mood enhancing neurotransmitters are. He is basically physiologically incapable of being happy with his disease.
@@alphabromega859 If that were true, there'd be no one with Chron's disease who is happy, but that isnt the case.
geez, I absolutely loved the CJI but man, props to the King. Hope they squash their beef n get everyone paid.
When so much of the CJI was directly qimed at Gordon i doubt it (the car giveaway, making the crowd shout fuck Gordon Ryan, etc)
'the show that was going to have to be saved by me".
🙏🏽🇺🇸true emperor of grappling.
when he retires that tummy ache will go away! The infinite amount of ways mental stress is pushed out thru the physical body is mystical
It's pretty obvious Gordon is telling the truth. He's always been honest about his performances, I feel bad that one of the best grapplers of all time is physically suffering, which denies us the opportunity to see greatness at work.
Would be epic to win both CJI and ADCC the same weekend next time....
Casually says he broke his ankle
Anybody catch how he covered for his boy at 4:15 lol.
CJI definitely won the weekend. ADCC was great, but CJI had the best matches by a notable margin. ADCC couldn't touch Tackett vs Ruotolo - that match was insane.
What’s he mean he mounted him but didn’t know how to do submissions?! He’s been doing this his entire life
As one of the biggest Gordon fans.i would like to see him retire with the thrown. His body is falling apart and I don’t want him to ruin his legacy.
Gordon while amazing- will always have an * by his name. The Barry Bonds of JJ
Stay healthy bro
He’s not reading the comments dummy😂
The man is the epitome of "suffering in silence." I didn't even watch this and can pretty much guarantee its about 12 mins of him talking about how hard this past year has been for him, all the things he's overcome, health issues, injuries, etc. Dude, you had the two most boring fights of the weekend and the most inconsequential wins in jitz history, take your medals (the real one and the one you invented) go home, order a pizza, pop some pepto bismal for your lil' belly, and watch CJI in order see some exciting jiu jitsu.
I didnt watch adcc but kade vs tackett was probably better than all of adcc 😂
You can't even suffer through this video in silence
Cji was so exciting I completely forgot Gordon was even competing LOL he definitely sounds butt hurt that there was a competition in town😂 I guess he's a little salty about the Miata
i dont belive you, i dont even train bjj and i knew CJI was happening and that gordon was having a super fight. i watched the cji the day after each even :D
Maybe he's butt hurt he didn't get the invite to CJI 😂
@@MrB1gPants with the health issues i dubt he couldve, 2 fights was his limit considering his stomach it seems.
@@fredrikandersson3885 I agree with that. I'm just saying I've not seen if Craig officially invited Gordon or not
@@MrB1gPants tbh i think they only announce when people accept, not every sendout.
I think its obvious that Gordon was invited because he would bring alot of eyeballs from Adcc over to CJI, to be able to snipe alot of athletes + the best grappler in the world would solidify CJI as the most prestigeous bjj event this year.
I think with all the trolling and hate thorwards gordon ryan from craig over the years has Understandably prolly made it impossible for Gordon to work with Craig.
Me personally, it would be cherry ontop if Gordon would join the CJI and snipe the 1 mil and Craig has to give it to him xD
Maybe this kid might get drafted to CJI next year. Good prospect.
lol first thing I’ve even seen about Gordon’s match. Bro was drowned out by all the cji content that’s actually available for fans.
Gordon’s biggest flaw is caring what random people on the internet think. If he could truly move past that, he’d be good to go.
You’ll know he’s moved past it when he never talks about it or addresses it in any way.
This man is a black belt in whining.
He had “suffer in silence” in his insta bio for ages. Ironic.
literally the goat, cope
I posted on IG that he would make excuses as to why he didn't perform, he replied and said idk if you know this but you don't need to make excuses when you win and then 12 hours later boom - he's making excuses
Gordon Ryan v Ian Garry. There can only be one…
Good matches mate, well done :)
This comments section is evidence of why Gordon’s the biggest name by a looooong shot in submission grappling, aside from his obvious skills that those same commenters refuse to acknowledge.
Theres 1 million on the line! If he's so good, he just have to go get it!
The one with the best technique is definitely Gordon , the biggest name rn in grappling is Craig Jones post CJI
Gordon the athlete is without any doubt the No-Gi Goat
Gordon the persona is pure reta... Shit.
Here's a fact... not a single person comenting here could hang with GR on his worst day. Losers concentrate on Winners--Winners concentrate on Winning.
@@JM-jm6fu
The entire issue is gordon took so much steroids
You could tell he wasn't at 100% , but the GOAT is GONNA GOAT.
Huge inspiration.
GLUCK GLUCK GLUCK
Wild!
7:33 agreed. Haters are ruining grappling imo
Way to make it happen Gordon. Would love to fly you out to Cali for a Seminar if you’re ever up for it.
Therapist: Kamdon Usyan isn't real, he can't hurt you.
Kamdon Usyan: 1:23
welcome to old age - live the pain bro
operating at 30%... stole that line from Kamaru Usman
Facts!!! Commenting this again cause I instantly thought of that line😂😂😂
Gordon sir, you have done it. Please RETIRE NOW!!! You are killing yourself, just go with peace and you will live a legend.
Did he say he's in his twenties? Jesus. He looks 55.
There is no earthly way he makes it to 55. If he makes it to 35, it'll be a miracle.
Thank God, Gordon has Tom in the corner. He wasn't taking them collar tie cracks across the face, eyes & head very well. We could see the patience growing thin with his feet moving forwards, aggressively. That would've sucked badly, this year. Tom trained him well. But lessons are easy to forget.
I’d really like to know the inside story/truth about the jiu jitsu world. The way Gordon speaks is as if Craig’s side of the industry betrayed and backstabbed to get where they are with CJI which I can see from a certain POV but Mo and ADCC definitely should have focused more on paying the athletes rather than things like having Bruce buffer as the announcer
Cji is the event to go to now!!
It’s easy for Gordon to call people cockroaches and back stabbers when he’s the only one getting paid.
Well said
The Ryan brothers are made of paper
You've conquered Jujitsu:)
Does “suffer in silence” mean nothing to this guy? All he ever does is talk about his suffering.
Tell me what’s inherently bad about talking about your suffering? Why should a person suffer in silence ?
Something tells me Gordon wants to watch more than participate
GOAT.!!!!
he should've consulted the witches
The ultimate return troll is for Gordon to win CJI
I’ve always called that scoring technique being a “passhole”.
Let them recover only to rip through again. Rack it up and tire them out.
Gordon Ryan uses Lazarus pit confirmed next adcc
