Gordon Ryan is looking for a new Who’s Number One (WNO) opponent, to face him in a November event.
Victor Hugo won’t be able to make the bout… But Ryan is open to any and all other potential challenges!
He shared his thoughts in a recent social media post:
Aiming for Pena before ADCC so we are both peaking and give each other our best versions.
For now, I’m looking at Gutenberg, Roosevelt says he wants a rematch, Mason is in the mix, and I personally want Hulk because I need to sub him.Also, Vinny, if he’s healthy.
Ryan is looking for people that he hasn’t managed to tap out so far:
I’m looking for people I haven’t subbed before. Who do you guys want?
Furthermore, he doesn’t want to compete against the “Internet guys”:
No, I’m not fighting any of the internet guys who only care about ig followers and are 0-5 against me, losing 4x by sub.
They already got my D so far down their throats they wouldn’t even be able to breathe in the match.Don’t even suggest them.
