Considered to be the GOAT in No Gi grappling by many, Gordon Ryan has been the athlete who brought the most attention to him and the sport in recent years with his amazing results and controversial persona off the mats. He has won three ADCC titles, two IBJJF World Titles, two Pan-American titles and four EBI titles in a period of just three years!
That combined with his trash talking and strong social media presence has won him the love and the hate of many BJJ fans. However, in this video, Danaher says that Gordon Ryan has a chip on his shoulder. This is probably what motivates him to train so hard and to become the be the best in the world.
The chip on a BJJ competitor’s shoulder could actually be a healthy one, and could lead to more positive outcomes than negative ones.
