Craig Jones has once again stirred the pot in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – this time with his latest remarks about rival Gordon Ryan’s frequent injury timeouts.
Namely, during an interview with The Mac Life, Jones suggested that Ryan’s regular withdrawals from matches are akin to the monthly menstrual cramps experienced by women – requiring a week off each time.
Jones explained that it’s difficult to set up a match with Ryan precisely because of his health issues:
He [Gordon Ryan] has stomach aches like women have menstrual cramps.
You know, they come once a month, (so) he needs a week off.So it’s difficult to set that up because there’s always medical conditions.
Craig Jones is no stranger to trash talk.
What’s more, he once criticized Gordon Ryan for his trash talk:
Gordon is always poking on the Internet, he’s always throwing sh*t out there.
Most of the times, it goes absolutely awful for him… He enters a battle of wits and he’s completely unarmed.
At some points, for his own sake, I wish that he is playing a character.Trying to understand the way his brain works and processes the world is one of the most fascinating things ever.
