Ramsey Nijem, a former contestant on The Ultimate Fighter and NCAA Division I wrestler, recently mentioned what a potential fight between him and Gordon Ryan would look like…
Claiming that he’d beat the no-gi athlete by a landslide – simply due to his lack of striking skills.
While acknowledging Ryan’s superior grappling abilities, Nijem expressed confidence in his own striking prowess; believing it would give him an advantage in a real-life scenario:
I mean, he’ll get me with a Heel Hook, eventually…
If you take out striking.He has no hands. And I will say that confidently.
Hopefully you’re watching, Gordon.
Nijem’s confidence is rooted in his extensive MMA experience, having appeared on The Ultimate Fighter and competed in the welterweight division.
During the discussion, Nijem also referenced Ryan’s match with Bo Nickal:
Bo Nickal picked him up and suplexed him.
If that was on concrete, you know…I’ve “allegedly” slammed one person on concrete and it ended the fight pretty fast.
What do you think? What would a potential fight between Nijem and Ryan look like?
