Where Does Gordon Ryan Go From Here?

If he’s not going to be able to compete, what happens to the best no-gi grappler in the world? Does he take up fishing? Will he spend his time playing World of Warcraft? Maybe he’ll start practicing yoga and seek the path to enlightenment. Just because he can’t compete doesn’t mean he’ll step away from jiu-jitsu. Expect him to make a hard shift to teaching. Passing on his knowledge– both in person and via his wildly successful instructional videos– seems the move here. Gordon will continue to give seminars and share his secrets to success. He may not open a gym anytime soon, although that’s always a possibility. Having dedicated himself to jiu-jitsu for the last 10 years of his life, Gordon has invested everything in the pursuit of competition success. He will take his famous blue-collar work ethic and relentless drive to be the best and focus it on other endeavors, but it’s highly unlikely no-gi grappling fans have seen the last of Gordon Ryan.

Can No-Gi Grappling Thrive Without Gordon Ryan?

Not only is Gordon a huge draw, but he’s a huge personality. Sports need big personalities to succeed, and often see sluggish growth and fan engagement during times where there is no standout name causing a ruckus both on and off the playing field. As mentioned above, Danaher himself has stated the importance of somebody like Gordon for the future of grappling. It was John who advised against Gordon moving to MMA for the reason that he could help usher no-gi grappling into a brighter future. Gordon’s incredible performances and notoriety are impossible to ignore, and his fame is such that in addition to casual grappling fans, a growing number of MMA fans have begun to take notice of Gordon’s career. His recent sit-down with Rogan helped put him in front of millions (tens of millions?) of people worldwide, something few athletes in our sport have ever experienced. The sport of no-gi grappling is dynamic and matches are easier to understand than those in the gi, which are slower, subtle, and packed with technical nuance that go over even ardent practitioners’ heads. Visually speaking, no-gi shares a common language with MMA, which has helped educate non-practitioners on the most common positions and attacks our sport has to offer. Increasingly-proficient grapplers in the Octagon have exposed them to the exciting possibilities offered in no-gi grappling, and the WNO ruleset showcases the action in the most transparent, understandable way possible. No-gi grappling can succeed and even flourish, with or without Gordon on the mat. The timeline may be longer and progress may be slower, but it’s unlikely to stop completely– people have only had a taste so far, and there is plenty more good stuff to come.

The Trash Talk Is Real, Gordon vs Felipe is Personal | Grappling Bulletin (Ep. 66)

The six year rivalry between Gordon Ryan and Felipe Pena has seen more trash talk between two athletes than maybe any other rivalry in jiu-jitsu. It is 100% truly authentic, and it is no act – they genuinely don’t like each other. Felipe Pena doesn’t appreciate Gordon’s long history of online harassment against him, much less his behavior in his most recent match against Pedro Marinho, Felipe's friend, teammate and former student. He believes Ryan was disrespectful in his conduct during the match, and has said he hopes to teach Gordon a lesson. It’s obvious where Gordon‘s problem with Felipe come from. Gordon has only lost a handful of matches in his career, and Pena accounts for two of them. For somebody as hypercompetitive as Gordon, that’s a red flag to a bull. Gordon won’t rest until he has achieved revenge, but even then there is no guarantee his trash talk will come to an end. 1.
