Garry Tonon and Gordon Ryan have never been too timid to insert themselves into controversy. The duo of Danaher students never shied away from controversy including duelling Ralek each separately.
For those who might not remember Tonon even went so far as to claim he would tattoo Ralek’s name on his behind if he lost – in spite of noticeable size difference.
Tonon: If I Lose To Ralek I’ll Get G In A Gi Tattooed On My Butt!

But big Gord is just like.. at a certain point at 5 or 6 minutes he’s just like .. He starts to get flustered because he’s just like he doesn’t understand what
