The Craig Jones Invitational 2 ended with fireworks both on and off the mats.

The $1 million team tournament final between New Wave and B-Team went the distance, resulting in a 47-47 tie on the scorecards.
By event rules, the deciding factor was the final bout — Nick Rodriguez’s dominant 10-8 round over Luke Griffith — giving B-Team the overall win and the prize money.

Gordon Ryan, however, was quick to accuse the event of foul play, as he shared on Instagram:

Corruption at its finest. Not surprised at all.
Making up rules on the spot is always a good way to guarantee your team wins.

Ryan’s words didn’t go unanswered.

Gabi Garcia, who faced Craig Jones in an intergender match at the first CJI, unleashed a scathing response to his accusations:

I thought the team format was awesome.
People are so selfish they don’t even know what a team means.

You can’t train alone, brother.
And if you don’t know how to fight as a team, you’ll never be anybody.

Garcia doubled down, accusing Ryan of bitterness from the sidelines:

U guys are only mad ‘cause you’re not here and not even competing.
And today you’re all shocked that Craig brought 50k so these who called themselves ‘GOATs’ could watch something interesting from their couch.

Nobody even remembers you if not because u a joke.

When u die your medals don’t go with u broooo.
But everyone will remember you as the biggest “p*ssyyyy” in the sport.

Enjoy your retirement from the couch “supporting your teammates”.

Her remarks turned even more personal as she addressed Ryan directly:

Your fear of losing made you quit.
That same fear made Craig a hundred times more important than you.

Between us broooo!! We know who is you in real life. Disgusting.
How talking sh*t about the guy changing the sport when u are terrible person behind the phone.
