Gordon Ryan and Keenan Cornelius went at it today in a submission-only superfight at the Grappling Industries event in New York. 

The no-gi match was a no time-limit, submission-only affair. That meant the match would keep going until somebody tapped. There were no points, and no breaks. 

After almost 90 minutes of action Gordon Ryan tapped out Keenan Cornelius with an inside heelhook. This marks the first time Keenan has ever been beaten in a submission-only match.
