AG Gregoroff, co-owner of Toe Hold and business partner of Gordon Ryan, recently made a comparison between Ryan and UFC legend Jon Jones.
According to AG, if the two ever met on the grappling mats, the result would be decisive:
As fast as Jon would beat him in MMA, Gordon would beat him in Jiu-Jitsu, but probably faster and worse.
He emphasized Ryan’s unmatched technical skill, dismissing the notion that his dominance is purely due to size and strength:
When people say like, what’s so good about him? People do that lazy, well, he’s big, he’s strong.
Everyone’s big and strong.
Instead, he said that Ryan is a tactical genius, comparing him to a “supercomputer” capable of adapting to any movement or situation:
Gordon’s a master at every single possible movement the human body can make.
Jon Jones and Gordon Ryan have trained before. This is what happened, in the words of Jones:
My boy, Gordon Ryan served me up a large hot piece of humble pie tonight.
It was exactly what I was looking for, at the same time my emotions are all messed up.Going to have a hard time sleeping tonight.. expect singing videos at 2 AM.
