Gordon Ryan and Dillon Danis are old “enemies”, who have been going back and forth for some time against each other on social media.
However, this rivalry was quiet for a bit… But Ryan has now decided to bring it back!
During the post-fight UFC Fight Pass Invitational 3 conference, Gordon discussed Dillon’s switch to boxing, as the Marcelo Garcia black belt is preparing to fight YouTube star KSI next year:
He’s a master of staying relevant without actually doing anything. I’ve offered him 10-1 odds, I’ve offered him every kind of match…
He actually randomly messages me on Instagram all the time. He sent me a clip the other day of a clip of Chael Sonnen saying he’s the real deal.
Ryan followed up with a unique “offer” to Danis:
If this doesn’t work out [boxing KSI], I have tons of cars, you can clean those for me. I have like five cars, clean those and I’ll give you $30 a week.
In the same interview, Gordon also admitted that Nick Rodriguez broke his leg with a Toe Hold (at their UFC Fight Pass Invitational 3 bout):
I was trying to figure out how to transition from an Achilles grip to a Heel Hook grip.
And while I was doing that, he put on a Toe Hold, and then he just ripped it as hard as he could, and my leg broke.
