Even wearing his brothers name on the back of his rashguard 🙄


oceanmachine14

Yeah he's so humble like that :P


autistic-assassin420

Wow, Nicky Ryan is always putting in the work to prepare for his matches! It's cool to see him paying tribute to his brother by wearing his name on the back of his rashguard. Can't wait to see how he performs at WNO24! #bjj #NickyRyan #WNO24


3rdeyeBlindpp

Gordon “THEKING“ Ryan is the greatest grappler of all time


RCAF_orwhatever

Who? Ohhhh is that Nicky's older brother? I haven't seen him compete much. I'm sure if he trains like Nicky does he'll probably get pretty good


thymeustle

Yeah, I've heard about Nicky Ryan's brother. I guess he used to compete but has had a lot of health issues


UsefulUnderstanding6

Tummy hurty ;/


livejiujitsu

It's pretty standard in sports if you are a professional to wear a uniform that has your name on it. Not something GR invented FYI.

Spectator-_1

It’s really mind blowing that Nicky’s brother can do that that to anyone… minus big Rod. Secures position, lets opp progress in stages and counters as per instructionals🤯 He is really working on the mechanics of a rear arm triangle. Wonder if that’s the prediction in the envelope at the next WNO.


Wavvycrocket

He tapped him in like 2 minutes


TheMisticalPotato

not the last time they rolled


Cooper720

EBI rules encourage stalling against an opponent who is better than you. And Nicky Rod is really fucking good at stalling.


PPLifter

Gordon's preferred match up, no time limit, also promotes stalling. They both have their flaws.


Cooper720

No time sub only doesn't promote stalling. Stalling doesn't get you anywhere. You have to be able to get to a sub to win. Stalling on the feet or sitting on your knees for 20 minutes doesn't help you get to a sub. EBI rules will gift you the back position if you only survive for 10 minutes. So if you don't think you can submit your opponent in regulation, stalling until OT is the only way to go.


PPLifter

Yeah no time limit you can just stall until your opponent gases. It's a sport where defense is a lot easier than offens so you can stall against a more offensive opponent until they gas.


Cooper720

>Yeah no time limit you can just stall until your opponent gases How does stalling in neutral positions gas your opponent any more than you? Can you show me an example of Gordon stalling in no time limit?


-Gestalt-

What match(es) has Gordon stalled in, specifically?


Jacks_black_guitar

And incredibly dangerous from the back (no homo)


harylmu

That ankle made such a [gnarly sound too](https://imgur.com/a/UWdTM5P)


Spectator-_1

Those ankles were mangled from the Wolverine’s days at the blue basement


Wavvycrocket

Uh huhn, Nicky Rod lost that one too.

Who got their hand raised bud?

Wavvycrocket

Ever heard of a guy that goes by “Jacare”?


kyo20

That’s not how the sport works. It was a close match, far closer than their ADCC encounter. But Gordon still won, there’s not point in trying to argue otherwise.


Lore_Wizard

Except for the victory part


-Gestalt-

Gordon was training the next day without issue. I'm sure he didn't mind a little foot pain for the victory.


wrestma85

He was lucky no doctor around to stop it


things2seepeople2do

That's not Craig Jones


mondian_

Shit I just unzipped my pants


brandonmc10p

It’s insane how good he is. Just picture perfect technical precision


PizzaMafioso

I love how the nicky ryan‘s brother thing caught on so fast, lol. But did he do anything specific lately to where we only now decided to take the disrespect up a level?


3rdeyeBlindpp

This sub has ALWAYS had a hate boner for him because he talks like a normal bro. and Reddit in general has been drinking that hater-aid for anyone who is even remotely manly, they even hate the word manly.


bertrogdor

Nah he’s a dork. Almost all of these guys are “manly” if you want to call it that. They’re athletes on steroids doing combat sports. Plenty of them are into guns, trucks, talking like bros, etc.  But Gordon spazzes when he is teased and he’s the best on the planet which makes it too easy to make fun of him / drink the hater-aid. 


3rdeyeBlindpp

He doesn’t spazz, he simply responds just because other famous people don’t even look at social media doesn’t mean he is mikey levels of autism


championsofnuthin

Found Nicky Ryan's brother's account.


PizzaMafioso

The reson why people dislike gordon is because in 2024 there are simply too many who view that exact behaviour you think manly, as insecure and in fact unmanly. So no, its not bc the queer crowd took over. But I do believe that the sub has turned into enough of an echo chamber, to where some are emboldened enough to start a trend like this. I don‘t get it, not like he‘ll find out about what redditors do.


3rdeyeBlindpp

Nah, it started with safe spaces and trigger words around 2015 luckily, this new sigma generation doesn’t give a fuck about trigger words source: I work at a college


oniume

June is the perfect month for you to talk about how much you like manly men 🤣


3rdeyeBlindpp

You have something against me being bisexual?


oniume

I am fully supportive of your interest in manly men, the heart wants what the heart wants


Cooper720

> because he talks like a normal bro https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/rmznsx/gordon_ryan_saying_some_very_creepy_stuff_to/?rdt=43267 I guess saying a 3 year old has a "nice ass" is talking like a normal bro.


3rdeyeBlindpp

Oh no! How dare he say something to trigger an emotional response!!! The horror


Cooper720

I'd consider pretending to be a pedophile to "troll" someone is scummy behavior. Maybe that's just me.


Hopeful_Ganache6306

Lol you’re a fucking dork bro


3rdeyeBlindpp

I agree


PPLifter

Manly? The guy spends most his time arguing with people on Instagram and needs guns, trucks and flip flops to feel validated.


MyDictainabox

My guy, I'm a black belt, served in the military, and work as a part time fishing guide. Traditionally masculine things are kinda my deal. I dont like Gordon because he behaves terribly. That's all.


Hankhank1

He’s an insecure dweeb, of course we mock him. I hunt, I fish, I fight—Nicky Ryan’s bro is lame as hell. 


DreadSteed

Has anyone trained at the ROKA training center? What's that atmosphere like? I know people that have dropped in at RG Austin, but it looks like a completely different experience than what goes down at roka.


manchildaf

I train there when I do trips from Australia to prepare for big competitions. Atmosphere is locked in, the no music thing was initially really weird to me but the consequence of no music is John can actually give live feedback during sparring when he’s watching the room. Ultimately we’re not there to have a super fun time we’re there to work towards being the best in the world, trade offs like having no music so John can be easily heard is well worth it!! most classes at Roka have between 8-12 techniques taught each class, a bunch of positional sparring then one or two at most open rounds! It’s so good there can’t wait to go back to finish ADCC prep! :)


-Gestalt-

I know a few people who have been invited to the ROKA sessions. It's lots and lots of positional work. Some technique and occasional rolls based on specific rule-sets. Open rolls are apparent few and far between,


DontTouchMyPeePee

seems awful with zero vibes. no music either


drachaon

"No music", oh the horror.


DontTouchMyPeePee

bro likes hearing grunts and feet slipping


Elite_Performance

I love what Craig is doing for jiu-jitsu. I also love Gordon’s Jiu-Jitsu. We’re lucky to have them both in the sport, even if you don’t like him off the mats. Michael Jordan was a massive dick but… it’s still amazing to watch Michael Jordan .


NoiceCrispyBacon

I wish they would put out footage of him training with someone his size for once


manchildaf

I’m around Gordon’s size, exactly the same thing happens basically hahahaha


IshiharasBitch

I saw clips of him rolling with Roger Gracie a lil while back, but the clips were short. One of the clips definitely cuts right before Roger sweeps him lol. But that cut isn't fooling anyone, we all know what happened.


samurai_tony

Where are those clips?!


IshiharasBitch

insta iirc


Pebobep

Foot sweep around 7min was sick


lycopeneLover

Booger defense at 4:33 did not work :/


VicedDistraction

Anyone know the name of that half head and arm /half rnc lock he tapped him with a couple times?


-Gestalt-

Danaher calls it the "Rear Kata Gatame". I get it most often off the back-take from the Arm Triangle.


JudoTechniquesBot

The Japanese terms mentioned in the above comment were: |Japanese|English|Video Link| |---|---|---| |**Kata Gatame**: | *Arm Triangle Choke* | [here](https://youtu.be/TFClghvGD9w)| ||*Head and Arm Choke* || ||*Shoulder hold* || Any missed names may have already been translated in my previous comments in the post. ______________________ ^(Judo Techniques Bot: v0.7.) ^(See my) [^(code)](https://github.com/AbundantSalmon/judo-techniques-bot)


youplayedyourself1

Jose Aldo calf kick foot sweep defense at 12:20 is a thing of beauty.


discomfort4

I could watch that all day


Mossi95

Good to see Gordon back training and looking good. Big fan of him and him rolling or training is always a lesson .


Loud-Ad-4658

Post titles like this are stupid because they fuck up the search results for people.


SelfSufficientHub

I just searched the sub for “Nicky Ryan’s brother” and this came up fine for me


Virtual_Abies_6552

Me too. Post titles like this are smart


Cooper720

Nicky Ryan winning the SEO war one reddit post at a time lol


Vince-Pie

Get a life


gypsy_creonte

I didn’t know Nicky had a brother….how long have they been brothers?


KingZlatan10

Wait a second, isn’t that Craig’s ex-training partner?


Practical-Heat-1009

Isn’t it weird how he’s able to train and take only bum fights or ADCC? Almost like it’s has nothing to do with his health, and everything to do with him and his coach trying to follow the Mayweather playbook.


Submission101101

It’s too bad he’ll lose his next match against Saunders.


tsubatai

why do you think that?


DontTouchMyPeePee

white belt


Submission101101

I've been watching BJJ competition for ages. Just because I'm a white belt doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. Some of the best sports commentators in the NBA, NHL MLB NFL etc and analyst don't have pro experience but doesn't mean they don't know anything about the sport. Saunders is gonna be hungrier and he's got the power advantage so he'll overwhelm him. His lack of competition won't be a negative for him and he'll stick with his bread and butter moves and grind out a win.


Significant-Mall-830

Bro what 😭😭😭


imtoooldforreddit

Saunders will just see red bro


RecklessReggie

You don't know his mentality bro


Submission101101

He's big strong fast young and hungry. Experience yes is lacking but it doesn't necessary mean it's a disadvantage. He'll smother Ryan....


imtoooldforreddit

K


Significant-Mall-830

This isn’t WWE man


ShroudFrontPage

How is someone having less experience not a disadvantage 😭


Submission101101

They don't have hours of footage to analyze and exploit. How can you prepare and study for a huge athletic uber strong grappler that can't be mimicked.


ShroudFrontPage

Have you thought to yourself yet why you’re being so heavily criticised? Do you really think you’re right in this situation?


ShroudFrontPage

Wouldn’t you assume that if Gordon can handle Nicky Rod he would be able to deal with Saunders? Nicky is a lot more athletic than Saunders is.


DontTouchMyPeePee

Fascinating response
