Gordon, Keenan, Vinny, Dillon & The Battle For The Hyper Competitive -99kg Division

Gordon Ryan may be the favorite but there are many grapplers with a real shot at winning gold in the -99kg division. The -99kg division has some very good guys: Keenan Cornelius, Vinny Magalhaes, Patrick Gaudio, Jackson Sousa, Dillon Danis, Fellipe Andrew and more… BUT do we see any of them taking out Gordon? Are any of them going to beat Gordon, and I mean really beat him? There are some question marks over the status of his knee, and Vinny has a win over him. Who’s the biggest threat at -99kg for Gordon? Lucas “Hulk” Barbosa’s wrestling looked strong, and they had a Fight 2 Win match a couple of years ago that proved inconclusive. Claudio Calasans is the only man in that bracket with an ADCC absolute championship. Patrick Gaudio lost by one advantage at No-Gi Worlds in an extremely close match. He seemed unfazed by the leg game, when Gordon was using the saddle position to sweep everybody. He is physically very tough, but has a very good, underrated and deceptively technical guard game. Gaudio is one of the most underrated athletes out there, and he hit the podium at Worlds three times in a row (taking silver twice). He’s training at the Fight Sports ADCC camp in Miami with Cyborg, too. And based off his recent performance at KASAI versus Kaynan Duarte, he’s looking good without the gi BUT he has lost four of his last five matches. The -99kg division has a number of dark horses such as 2011 ADCC champ Vinny Magalhaes, Jackson Sousa, and wildcards including Dillon Danis (fighting up a category), submission machine Fellipe Andrew and trials winner Tim Spriggs.

The Tough Road Ahead At ADCC For Kaynan Duarte

Kaynan Duarte is one of the new wave of black belts, and he has always done no-gi. He's not just an IBJJF guy, he won ADCC Trials in 2017 (where he beat Patrick Gaudio in the final) and tapped Pablo Popovitch in the opening round of Worlds later that year. He had a close match with Gordon Ryan in the absolute final at the 2018 IBJJF Pan No-Gi and was winning on points until he got submitted. Had he fought more tactically he could have pulled off a points victory. Back in the day Kaynan didn't have a leglock game– his former teammate Keenan Cornelius used a heel hook to submit him in 2017, but since then Duarte's leglcok game has gotten very good. We even saw him use the heel hook defense / back-take against both Gordon Ryan and Craig Jones, so it goes to show you're not going to leglock him easily. Kaynan has the ability to win any division he enters– but is he capable of winning +99kg gold at ADCC?
