The Danaher Death Squad has a bitter pill to swallow following the Studio 540 challenge. And they’re none too eager to admit defeat. Even though Ryan was submitted with a Rear naked choke around the 40th minute of his sub only fight.
Now even those who watched the fight weren’t too sure any of this transpired but when prompted by Edwin Najmi, Tonon clarified:
A little further down the line Tonon raised an interesting question, how do you penalize someone in a sub only match?
But Tonon also says he had no interest in instigating a fight at the event and would rather grapple Pena.
UPDATE: Garry Tonon removed the post.
Interestingly Tonon went even further in his comments on twitter:
Trash talking, and acting like trash, are two completely different things.

While also announcing he’d love to face off against Gabriel Arges.
Pena has been reluctant to engage in social media squabbles and is content letting people tag him in the likes of this posting:
Tonon has also tried sticking up for the younger Ryan who has gotten his turn in the public eye:
If you are an adult, and you took the time out of your day to dm a 15 year old about how he sucks at jiu jitsu, you deserve to die, period.

Do you think Tonon’s allegations are true? How would you penalize sub only fighters?
