Nicky Rodriguez just won the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4 absolute tournament in spectacular fashion…
And he ended it by calling out Gordon Ryan for a match – albeit with a somewhat unexpected suggestion!
Here’s what Rodriguez had to say:
In addition… We got this physique, you see this guy, this guy Gordon Ryan – who keeps accusing me of being on steroids, right?
So, let’s do this.Let’s go: 10-minute match, EBI overtime.
But, with a catch: let’s both do a USADA drug test before and after competition!Pretty fair, right? He’s accusing, I’m showing up and competing.
Let’s do this.
