The Galvao vs Ryan superfight is the one that grappling fans around the world want to see ever since 2019, as that’s when Galvao beat Felipe Pena in their superfight for the ADCC belt and Ryan won the absolute title as well.
Fast forward to February this year, during a Who’s Number One event, the two started heatedly arguing. This was a result of the previous months, which the athletes spent going at each other in social media. Then, after the arguing reached peak levels, Ryan slapped Galvao in the face twice.
This turned into a viral video on social media:
