98-5

Throughout his black belt career since 2016, Gordon Ryan amassed 98 wins, including 80 submissions (82%). In that time he’s suffered only 5 losses, and just one submission loss.

That submission loss was against Pena in 2016, making him the only athlete in seven years to submit Gordon Ryan.

Gordon Ryan's no.1 attack: the rear naked choke

Throughout Ryan’s black belt career, he’s been most successful via rear naked choke, with which he’s earned 33% of his submission wins. He’s also incredibly successful via inside heel hook, which has accounted for 13% of his submission victories.

Gordon Ryan is a five-time ADCC Champion, winning the 88kg division in 2017, the 99kg & absolute division in 2019 and the +99kg division as well as the superfight vs Andre Galvao in 2022. He is also the only person to ever win ADCC in 3 different weight divisions, excluding the absolute division.

Throughout Gordon’s decorated career, one athlete has been more successful against him than any other: Felipe Pena. A second win against Pena would settle their rivalry at 2-2.

This no-time limit match will end in submission, meaning that Pena could double down on his unique submission victory over Ryan, or Ryan could overcome the biggest flaw on his incredible record.
