Just a couple of years ago, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling in general was considered to be a sport which will never bring a lot of money to its practitioners… Today, things have changed for the better, as more and more individuals are earning a living from BJJ.
Nevertheless, there are some athletes that earn significantly more than the rest do. One of those people is Gordon Ryan, who has managed to secure an additional $100,000 in sponsorship for ADCC 2022!
Previously, Ryan had acquired $100,000 through a sponsorship with Bitcoin Cash. In this instance, however, he has earned an additional (same) amount from a sponsor that is still unknown.

Soon enough, he shared that he had found an additional sponsor, and thanked his fans for the help:
200k in sponsorships so far. I also have a sponsor on the way that is worth more than any dollar amount, stay tuned.
