When will the rematch between Gordon Ryan and Nicky Rodriguez take place?
It’s difficult to say. But Nicky Rod appears to want it to happen as soon as possible.
In a recent interview by FloGrappling, Nicky shared a brief update – and emphasized that he has always been a natural athlete:
So, after I won the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4, I took it upon myself to challenge Gordon Ryan to a match.
He was accusing me of taking steroids in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu, which is untrue.I’ve never taken gear and I still continue to train and compete as a natural athlete.
Rodriguez continues:
So, upon winning in the finals of the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4, I challenged Gordon Ryan to a 10-minute EBI overtime grappling match…
With the stipulation of both of us passing the USADA drug test before and after.
Just so I can show how natty I am.
He says that Ryan declined the match:
…Which I understand. The last time we competed, I was able to break his foot in a Toe Hold.
And ultimately, this led to his demise.Now you see that he pulled out of his match with Felipe Pena, he has essentially retired from the sport of Jiu-Jitsu.
All due to me breaking his foot in our last competition.
