No it's not! He's got nothing on Javier Mendez or Firas Zahibi! Not my opinion, its a fact when you look at champions. Now, if we're talking bjj, that's clearly DDS territory.

This short piece is so amazing. It’s talks about the team over self. Gordon recognizes how much his coach has given them, so brilliantly over the past years and It’s probably something amazing that they will accomplish within the next 2-5 years. What a wise young man.
This sounds like an excuse to me. He knows butt scooting and deep half’s don’t work in a real fight. He’s just an amazing bjj guy in a real fight. This isn’t 1991.
I feel GSP and firas have that kind of work ethic as a team cohesion, like gordon ryan is describing with his own team. I 100% believe that is the way to go when you have a team as amazing as ryan's, loyalty and wanting the best for your teammates only helps you get better mentally as a fighter
I was saying from a head coach kind of loyalty even though firas is the head trainer, I simply just saying regarding loyalty within teams and the fighters. It can only help if you want was it best for your fighters well being and of those coming up. GSP gives his honest opinion, even if it hurts
Its fascinating to watch... the Gracie's released this martial art decades ago, and now Danaher and the death squad are at the forefront. The techniques have evolved over and over..

If a juiced top athlete manages to beat everyone in a division where all the top competitors are also on steroids, there is no reason to assume he doesn't have what it takes to compete off the juice, if the competitors are equally unenhanced.
Gordon is just as smart of a businessman as he is a jujitsu fighter- he's using the Joe Rogan podcast to call out atos and Andre galvao, for potentially the biggest jiu jitsu money fight of the decade.

really liked this clip cuz not a big fan of Gordon's "public persona" per-se, but this showed a side of him I hadn't seen before. Pretty cool. looking forward to see his transition to mma whenever that happens. I'D LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE DOMINATE MMA WITH JUI JITSU!
@@StolenPixel lol hes clearly on the 1980 body builder juice. dudes stomach went to shit cause of it. hes over here blaming antibiotics. this is why hes hesitant to go to mma. they using that designer stuff and hes still popping pills.
@@StolenPixel they using endurance based peds in mma to sustain fast twitch movements. hes taking stuff to bulk and fucked his body up. unless this man can take a hell of a punch. dont see him doing well. knowing epo and peds like that wont do anything for him.
He isn’t having an mma March in OneFC anyways. It’s a grappling match with Shinya Aoki. It’s in December. One tests for steroids but athletes have modified their cycles to pass drug tests since they were first banned. Also people don’t realize how little exogenous testosterone you need and still not pop hot. Most fighters who get caught get caught because they took clomid at the end of a cycle and didn’t know they tested for clomid. People act like professional fighters are on as many anabolics as modern bodybuilders are when in reality it’s just a little extra test to keep their levels in the average to high range for what is normal. Mostly keyboard warriors who have never trained a day in their life will accuse fighters of steroids and they probably are the same people that think creatine is a steroid. PEDs will always be prevalent in any sport. If you can’t beat them join them. It levels the playing field.
I Hespec it. Not the biggest fan on Gordon as a person but I like that he is more of a fan of the growth of BJJ as a commercial sport than he is of his own gain
This guy sounds nothing like he looks. Well spoken and highly respectful. Never followed him much, but I’m looking forward to watching the full podcast!
A breeze of fresh air into the fighting world to hear a professional of Gordon's level thinking first about the team and then about himself. I can foresee that working ... he'll crush through his MMA division when the time is right.
I can respect Gordon Ryan on being all about the team. I've heard about gyms where it's all about the individual, or kill or be killed. You don't build good gyms by being selfish! Also, I'm more impressed with John being just as good a striking coach as he is a Jiu-jitsu instructor.
This is wrong, Gordon is a notoriously bad teammate and all around complete asshole. Of course he is the best at what he does you can never take that away from him but he doesnt deserve respect for anything outside of that
I personally look toward his career in MMA there’s definitely a level of satisfaction to watch him get lit up standing while trying to get the takedown
You can tell that the way this kid talks, the majority of his success and dominance comes from the fact that he's a thinking fighter, not just an athletically gifted fighter.
He's really an average athlete compared to the best. He's mostly slow twitch so he doesn't have that explosiveness, he's a bit slow in his movements. He's also not ridiculously flexible or mobile. What he does have is strength and size. Tbh it makes his dominance in Jiu jitsu even more impressive.
The fact that Gordon Ryan wants to wait until someone can take up the mantle of his dominance and jiu jitsu gives you the impression that they're not so much the Danaher death squad, as much as they want to be the Danaher DYNASTY squad.
never gunna happen anyways. Gordons the only guy on that team winning . Gary Nicky Nickrod ethan lose to top guys. JT routolo brothers are better. Its just because gordons so large 230lbs super fkn strong and way more technical than the big guys but also large enough to offset the little guys. IF gordon was nicky size he wuldnt be the same
I think there's more to it than just loyalty. TBH I think they all look up to John and John has said in interviews he doesn't want Gordo doing MMA as BJJ is going to become this big sport, and to be a big sport you need stars like Gordo etc... So, I think Gordo feels pressure not to let John down. I respect John but I really don't see BJJ becoming this househould sport in the next 5 years. The only people who are remotely interested in watching BJJ are the BJJ community. Now, in fairness that is a growing community but it's never going to be globally as big as say boxing or MMA. And even at that, I remember John Kavanagh talking on JRE and Kavanagh is a BJJ black belt under Matt Thornton. Both he and Joe agreed that they don't like watching BJJ comps because they find them "boring". And that's 2 well schooled black belts saying that. Danaher thinking average sport fans are going to be tuning in to watch elite level BJJ comps is unrealistic right now or even in the medium term. Especially coming out of a pandemic. Ask yourself right now, are most people going to hand over money to see Fury vs Joshua or N'Gannou vs Jones, or are they going to spend it paying to watch Ryan vs Galvao? BJJ is light years away from becoming anything other than a niche spectator sport.
About time they start bringing other aspects of fighting to Puerto Rico can't wait to see what they can do with MMA in PR seeing how big boxing is down there
Straight Jiu-jitsu guys have very limited success in the ufc. That's the very old days. They do well until they get to the elite level fighters and then get smoked. Who cares if he blesses mma with his presence.
I agree that being a pure Jits guy can be almost as much of a liability as an asset in elite MMA these days because the Jits guys spend so many of their best years climbing the BJJ mountain they rarely have enough time left to develop all the skills they need to make it to the top in MMA. That said, if Gordo fights in say ONE he might make some okay money. Apparently Brandon Vera was clearing over $100k a fight with ONE to beat up pretty so-so fighters. Gordo might get away with it over at ONE. Roger certainly did.
Difference is this guy trains with Danaher who is a legit MMA savant. This guy would have already been doing a lot of wrestling and Judo training and when he transitions the focus will just be on picking up striking. And while its not something he would have put a close focus on yet I would guess Danaher has already given him a thorough base in. A lot different to most Jujitsu gyms.
@@David-_-_- That's a decent point, but I'd guess with so much focus on grappling comps training for strikes etc... even the DDS wouldn't get a lot of time to do that much. And it takes about as long to get good at striking as it does to get good at BJJ for most people. Even to get good enough not to get KO'd or lose to a better striker on points, that takes a lot of specialist training. Just ask Kron "Boxing is easy" Gracie about how tough it can be to move in to a sport where most people can already out-strike you. Danaher is a legend, but even GSP had specific coaches for striking. I do agree GR is in a great gym to jump in to MMA, but he still has so so much to work on with striking and other things than Danaher won't be able to necessarily help him with.
"I want wait till someone can carry the flag" I don't buy this at all. Ryan is basically the most accomplished grappler ever. It's not being selfish to transition into MMA. I get the feeling he just doesn't want to, which is totally fine.
@@trash6960 That's a harsh statement, look at Ryan Hall, a guy who literally built his legacy off of Jiujitsu and made it just fine into the UFC. Most his wins are Submission or Decisions. Gordon Ryan is light years ahead in grappling, and he don't do Gi (rarely and never competes in Gi) which his no gi translates very well.
The reasoning makes sense, sure. But I presume the guy is afraid of getting knocked out, of losing, of failure. Not in BJJ-but in MMA. What better way to grow the sport of BJJ than to build further a name for yourself and for your coaches in the sport of MMA to then return to put on major BJJ events with new vested interest in the sport. That would accelerate the growth of BJJ exponentially in my estimation, rather than remain doing what he’s doing. He’s done it all already. What made BJJ popular in the first place, to ever give rise to the Danaher camp at all? They can thank the Gracies, in the UFC.
I think Gordon Ryan prove himself more than enough in Submission Grappling but I think the main reason he doesn’t want to pursue MMA is because he doesn’t want to go out of his Comfort zone and you are right he is afraid of Failure. Obviously if Gordon Ryan is going to start fighting in MMA a lot of people will watch him fight and there will be Hype behind him. I also believe that he is going to win his first few matches but if he is going to fight some an elite fighter or a contender that has some Elite Wrestling background or Division 1 he is going to be toasted because there is no way that he can land a takedown on those guys and If he lose there will be a lot of criticism about him.
@@xy5844 For the same reason that GSP never told Joe until after he retired that he has an entire game built around the southpaw stance that he never had to employ, but was always in his back pocket. In the fight game there is no need to reveal hidden weapons, resources, or tactics. Surprise is a weapon.
@@jademermaidmusic If Ben Askren and Demian Maia can have successful MMA careers then so can Gordon Ryan. I wouldn't expect him to compete for a UFC belt though if he keeps delaying the transition.
@@hellotcautiver like I said there aren't many grapplers on his lvl their take down defense won't be good enough to stop somebody like Ryan, Ryan is leagues and I mean leagues above the guys in the heavyweight division in grappling add that with a little bit of MMA training and he would do well. I m not saying his beating Francis or stipe, just saying he would do well in that division
@@dv2033 he can’t pass USADA . Bjj practitioners are some of the most juiced up people. It’s encouraged in a lot of gyms . These ufc guys would eat this man alive but if it came to bjj only , idk who can beat Gordon
I have heard Danaher talk recently about BJJ being on the cusp of becoming a big spectator sport. I think that's pie in the sky. BJJ as a spectator event has only ever appealed to people in the BJJ community. And even at that, only a limited number of people in that community. The only way no-gi grappling would get to become a big deal is if they introduced say, a submission wrestling event at the Olympics as part of the Wrestling program. But there's no sign of that happening. 99.999% of sports fans wouldn't watch Ryan vs Galvao if it was on their front lawn, let alone pay any sort of money to see it. There's nothing that's going to change that anytime soon. Danaher is a great coach, but BJJ becoming popular enough outside the BJJ community to become a professional sport is a pipedream.
I also don't think bjj has what it takes for broad (mma level) appeal. I appreciate it, but still skip ahead from time to time. MMA is much more accessible, dynamic, and frankly gladiatorial.
I don’t think John thinks it’ll achieve UFC-level popularity but the sport is certainly exploding. Could be a good viewer market for some streams and stuff
@@kestermyronsoldmcmanager1273 Random, out of competition testing is how you catch people. Everything else is just noise. That's why the testing in IBJJF, NBA, NFL, bodybuilding, and most other professional sports - are a joke and more of a formality.
So what about Gordon’s striking practice.. is he consistently training in striking as well in preparation for that time someone else is on his level or still putting all of his time to staying on top of the grappling world?
Such a stubborn comment you obviously have no clue about fighting, if that was the case all wrestlers and grapplers would be knocked out first round too like usman colby Ben Cormier Henry
Yes. the days of one-trick ponies in MMA are over. Unless this guy plans on spending several years on stand-up martial arts, he's gonna get KO'd. He might be able to pull a Damien Maia (or Askren) and just continually try to take people down, but Maia's not a champion, and Maia has at least some take down skills. I looked for this guy gordon's bona fides in wrestling; i don't see any. I see him doing jiu jitsu with wrestlers, so his take-down skills for MMA might even be suspect.
The true test of Gordon in MMA will be getting past USADA.
Naw, he signed with ONE. He'll be fine
@@mr5timewcwchamp Thats worst .
Holy moly 10 years in Muay Thai before bjj... Danaher is crazy ahead of his time

really liked this clip cuz not a big fan of Gordon's "public persona" per-se, but this showed a side of him I hadn't seen before. Pretty cool. looking forward to see his transition to mma whenever that happens. I'D LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE DOMINATE MMA WITH JUI JITSU!
Its cooling seeing Gordon progress over the years. He even seems to be talking more like John the older he gets haha
I like this guys attitude so much I actually wanna see what he's all about with his Jujutsu. Respect.
You won't be disappointed!
He's vicious. no other way to describe him. He and Nicky Rod. insane
The dude is a monster on the mat.
He's the goat period
If you know Jiujitsu, how do you not know Gordon Ryan?
Gordon's submission grappling record is immense
his steroids also
@@IronMikeyT good steroids are awesome i hope they all have access to the best gear
@@StolenPixel yea let’s see in 20 years when these guys retire and get off the roids 🤦🏻♂️
@@StolenPixel lol hes clearly on the 1980 body builder juice. dudes stomach went to shit cause of it. hes over here blaming antibiotics. this is why hes hesitant to go to mma. they using that designer stuff and hes still popping pills.
@@StolenPixel they using endurance based peds in mma to sustain fast twitch movements. hes taking stuff to bulk and fucked his body up. unless this man can take a hell of a punch. dont see him doing well. knowing epo and peds like that wont do anything for him.
This really makes Rnk All Day miss Joe Rogan on CZcams.
fuck that guy
Post the segment where he is talking about his severe and debilitating gastroparesis so hopefully someone can help him out.
LOL at Gordon making it through USADA testing w/o getting popped.
@Mac Mac Who's hating? I haven't been able to pass a USADA test in a decade.
ONE isn't in the USADA test pool. Also no steroids - just Jesus for my brother Gordon
He isn’t having an mma March in OneFC anyways. It’s a grappling match with Shinya Aoki. It’s in December. One tests for steroids but athletes have modified their cycles to pass drug tests since they were first banned. Also people don’t realize how little exogenous testosterone you need and still not pop hot. Most fighters who get caught get caught because they took clomid at the end of a cycle and didn’t know they tested for clomid. People act like professional fighters are on as many anabolics as modern bodybuilders are when in reality it’s just a little extra test to keep their levels in the average to high range for what is normal. Mostly keyboard warriors who have never trained a day in their life will accuse fighters of steroids and they probably are the same people that think creatine is a steroid. PEDs will always be prevalent in any sport. If you can’t beat them join them. It levels the playing field.

Best comment of May 2021
I Hespec it. Not the biggest fan on Gordon as a person but I like that he is more of a fan of the growth of BJJ as a commercial sport than he is of his own gain
Bro he can’t compete in MMA even if he wanted to... he’s juiced up to the the max he won’t be nearly as good if he comes off them PEDs
Love the loyalty to the team.
He can be a champion in all other organization
But when UFC's USADA gets involved he gonna blow up the lab😂😂😂😂
He ain't going where USADA is that's for sure, just rolling with this guy would make you piss hot.
Wonder who'd pop for more, him or Joe🤣

Looooool
He treats his team like fellow Samurai under the same clan. John is their daimyo.
This guy sounds nothing like he looks. Well spoken and highly respectful. Never followed him much, but I’m looking forward to watching the full podcast!
"We have a great team cohesion. We're always looking out for one another" LOL this didn't age well.
Lol what happened?
A breeze of fresh air into the fighting world to hear a professional of Gordon's level thinking first about the team and then about himself. I can foresee that working ... he'll crush through his MMA division when the time is right.
joe definitely didnt approve of john being a striking coach
Loved that subtle Atos dig around 1.35
good point about team dynamics. the right fit is critical
I can respect Gordon Ryan on being all about the team. I've heard about gyms where it's all about the individual, or kill or be killed. You don't build good gyms by being selfish!
Also, I'm more impressed with John being just as good a striking coach as he is a Jiu-jitsu instructor.
This is wrong, Gordon is a notoriously bad teammate and all around complete asshole. Of course he is the best at what he does you can never take that away from him but he doesnt deserve respect for anything outside of that
I personally look toward his career in MMA there’s definitely a level of satisfaction to watch him get lit up standing while trying to get the takedown
You obviously haven’t seen GT fight.

Really interesting watching this after the split. Makes me wonder about things.
Joe's impression of Danahar is fantastic! Lol
Sounds like dude doesn’t really want to transition to mma.
Too many vitamins

Gordon is the type of guy to lecture his mother on birthing techniques as he’s being born. What an absolute Chad.
Lol!

Listening on spotify... Where are the god damn comments. This guy is the man
I love this guy's ethics. New Fan. 100%

Roids do that to you.
Yeah he looks old and talks like an old man too.
@@agigtt he’s always talked like that lol
I'm 29 and always forget he's younger than me. He looks 33.
@@Tetratronic jealous much?
You can tell that the way this kid talks, the majority of his success and dominance comes from the fact that he's a thinking fighter, not just an athletically gifted fighter.
Hes not athletically gifted but I understand what you are trying to say.
@@ahmadtahmass8941 he’s 6’3 240 and ripped, pretty athletic
muscles and low body fat ≠ athleticism
He's really an average athlete compared to the best. He's mostly slow twitch so he doesn't have that explosiveness, he's a bit slow in his movements. He's also not ridiculously flexible or mobile. What he does have is strength and size. Tbh it makes his dominance in Jiu jitsu even more impressive.
@@HashBrown99Gaming he is definitely gifted it’s not hard to see when to look at him
The fact that Gordon Ryan wants to wait until someone can take up the mantle of his dominance and jiu jitsu gives you the impression that they're not so much the Danaher death squad, as much as they want to be the Danaher DYNASTY squad.
Reminds me of Khabib, Islam, and Abdulmanap.
never gunna happen anyways. Gordons the only guy on that team winning . Gary Nicky Nickrod ethan lose to top guys. JT routolo brothers are better. Its just because gordons so large 230lbs super fkn strong and way more technical than the big guys but also large enough to offset the little guys. IF gordon was nicky
size he wuldnt be the same
@@REXAZOR this is something all the DDS fanboys seem to forget lol
The big bad DDS is basically Gordon and a bunch of runner ups
danaher steroid squad
I think there's more to it than just loyalty. TBH I think they all look up to John and John has said in interviews he doesn't want Gordo doing MMA as BJJ is going to become this big sport, and to be a big sport you need stars like Gordo etc... So, I think Gordo feels pressure not to let John down.
I respect John but I really don't see BJJ becoming this househould sport in the next 5 years. The only people who are remotely interested in watching BJJ are the BJJ community. Now, in fairness that is a growing community but it's never going to be globally as big as say boxing or MMA.
And even at that, I remember John Kavanagh talking on JRE and Kavanagh is a BJJ black belt under Matt Thornton. Both he and Joe agreed that they don't like watching BJJ comps because they find them "boring". And that's 2 well schooled black belts saying that.
Danaher thinking average sport fans are going to be tuning in to watch elite level BJJ comps is unrealistic right now or even in the medium term. Especially coming out of a pandemic. Ask yourself right now, are most people going to hand over money to see Fury vs Joshua or N'Gannou vs Jones, or are they going to spend it paying to watch Ryan vs Galvao?
BJJ is light years away from becoming anything other than a niche spectator sport.
About time they start bringing other aspects of fighting to Puerto Rico can't wait to see what they can do with MMA in PR seeing how big boxing is down there
Straight Jiu-jitsu guys have very limited success in the ufc. That's the very old days. They do well until they get to the elite level fighters and then get smoked. Who cares if he blesses mma with his presence.
I only care to see him get his a$$ handed to him. Bring him down a couple of notches
@@nickkinsella2942 well said
I agree that being a pure Jits guy can be almost as much of a liability as an asset in elite MMA these days because the Jits guys spend so many of their best years climbing the BJJ mountain they rarely have enough time left to develop all the skills they need to make it to the top in MMA.
That said, if Gordo fights in say ONE he might make some okay money. Apparently Brandon Vera was clearing over $100k a fight with ONE to beat up pretty so-so fighters. Gordo might get away with it over at ONE. Roger certainly did.
Difference is this guy trains with Danaher who is a legit MMA savant. This guy would have already been doing a lot of wrestling and Judo training and when he transitions the focus will just be on picking up striking. And while its not something he would have put a close focus on yet I would guess Danaher has already given him a thorough base in. A lot different to most Jujitsu gyms.
@@David-_-_- That's a decent point, but I'd guess with so much focus on grappling comps training for strikes etc... even the DDS wouldn't get a lot of time to do that much. And it takes about as long to get good at striking as it does to get good at BJJ for most people. Even to get good enough not to get KO'd or lose to a better striker on points, that takes a lot of specialist training. Just ask Kron "Boxing is easy" Gracie about how tough it can be to move in to a sport where most people can already out-strike you.
Danaher is a legend, but even GSP had specific coaches for striking. I do agree GR is in a great gym to jump in to MMA, but he still has so so much to work on with striking and other things than Danaher won't be able to necessarily help him with.
"I want wait till someone can carry the flag" I don't buy this at all. Ryan is basically the most accomplished grappler ever. It's not being selfish to transition into MMA. I get the feeling he just doesn't want to, which is totally fine.
His bjj legacy is great already . Anyone in the ufc can beat him . Why would he want to do that
If you follow his IG, he is like that. He wants Nicky or someone to hold the reigns, could be a mix of other things, but I don't believe he is scared.
@@trash6960 That's a harsh statement, look at Ryan Hall, a guy who literally built his legacy off of Jiujitsu and made it just fine into the UFC. Most his wins are Submission or Decisions. Gordon Ryan is light years ahead in grappling, and he don't do Gi (rarely and never competes in Gi) which his no gi translates very well.
@@returnfreedom because he sucks and is basically a 2003 level fighter who is only roids
@@artiew8718 Ok, makes sense lol. Not.
Crazy watching this today knowing what happened to DDS…
When was this recorded?
The reasoning makes sense, sure. But I presume the guy is afraid of getting knocked out, of losing, of failure. Not in BJJ-but in MMA. What better way to grow the sport of BJJ than to build further a name for yourself and for your coaches in the sport of MMA to then return to put on major BJJ events with new vested interest in the sport. That would accelerate the growth of BJJ exponentially in my estimation, rather than remain doing what he’s doing. He’s done it all already.
What made BJJ popular in the first place, to ever give rise to the Danaher camp at all? They can thank the Gracies, in the UFC.
I think Gordon Ryan prove himself more than enough in Submission Grappling but I think the main reason he doesn’t want to pursue MMA is because he doesn’t want to go out of his Comfort zone and you are right he is afraid of Failure. Obviously if Gordon Ryan is going to start fighting in MMA a lot of people will watch him fight and there will be Hype behind him. I also believe that he is going to win his first few matches but if he is going to fight some an elite fighter or a contender that has some Elite Wrestling background or Division 1 he is going to be toasted because there is no way that he can land a takedown on those guys and If he lose there will be a lot of criticism about him.
When Danaher was on JRE taking about GSP Joe mentioned a few times that Danaher didn’t have any striking experience and JD never corrected him on it.
why do you think he did that?
kinda weird
"a gentleman never tells"
@@xy5844 For the same reason that GSP never told Joe until after he retired that he has an entire game built around the southpaw stance that he never had to employ, but was always in his back pocket. In the fight game there is no need to reveal hidden weapons, resources, or tactics. Surprise is a weapon.
@@hiplessboy explain the advantage of donaher keeping it a secret

Do explain. You can't just make bold statements like that and leave us hanging.

@@jademermaidmusic If Ben Askren and Demian Maia can have successful MMA careers then so can Gordon Ryan. I wouldn't expect him to compete for a UFC belt though if he keeps delaying the transition.
@@hellotcautiver like I said there aren't many grapplers on his lvl their take down defense won't be good enough to stop somebody like Ryan, Ryan is leagues and I mean leagues above the guys in the heavyweight division in grappling add that with a little bit of MMA training and he would do well.

@@dv2033 he can’t pass USADA . Bjj practitioners are some of the most juiced up people. It’s encouraged in a lot of gyms . These ufc guys would eat this man alive but if it came to bjj only , idk who can beat Gordon
I have heard Danaher talk recently about BJJ being on the cusp of becoming a big spectator sport. I think that's pie in the sky.
BJJ as a spectator event has only ever appealed to people in the BJJ community. And even at that, only a limited number of people in that community.
The only way no-gi grappling would get to become a big deal is if they introduced say, a submission wrestling event at the Olympics as part of the Wrestling program. But there's no sign of that happening.
99.999% of sports fans wouldn't watch Ryan vs Galvao if it was on their front lawn, let alone pay any sort of money to see it. There's nothing that's going to change that anytime soon. Danaher is a great coach, but BJJ becoming popular enough outside the BJJ community to become a professional sport is a pipedream.
I also don't think bjj has what it takes for broad (mma level) appeal. I appreciate it, but still skip ahead from time to time. MMA is much more accessible, dynamic, and frankly gladiatorial.
I don’t think John thinks it’ll achieve UFC-level popularity but the sport is certainly exploding. Could be a good viewer market for some streams and stuff
On their front lawn! Lol
Agreed.
Maravilha!!! Essa e a razão que ta no topo!! 👏👏👏👏
hearing him speak about his team a year ago to how they are now is madness

Random, out of competition testing is how you catch people. Everything else is just noise.

He’s 25 he can learn striking stuff maybe
The exact question I wanted to know after ADCC. Thanks CZcams
So what about Gordon’s striking practice.. is he consistently training in striking as well in preparation for that time someone else is on his level or still putting all of his time to staying on top of the grappling world?
Goes to mma and gets ko’d in the first round.
no
Such a stubborn comment you obviously have no clue about fighting, if that was the case all wrestlers and grapplers would be knocked out first round too like usman colby Ben Cormier Henry
@@craigd2352 Ben Askren. Lol
Yes. the days of one-trick ponies in MMA are over. Unless this guy plans on spending several years on stand-up martial arts, he's gonna get KO'd. He might be able to pull a Damien Maia (or Askren) and just continually try to take people down, but Maia's not a champion, and Maia has at least some take down skills. I looked for this guy gordon's bona fides in wrestling; i don't see any. I see him doing jiu jitsu with wrestlers, so his take-down skills for MMA might even be suspect.
@@stevestandley5571 no
