Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Gordon Ryan is the undisputed face of no-gi grappling. A five-time ADCC champion, Ryan hasn’t misplaced a match since 2018, and he’s defeated a majority of the largest names within the sport within the final 5 years. He additionally tends to complete his matches dramatically, touchdown submissions at the next price than most elite ocmpetitors.
The admitted steroid consumer’s credibility is being known as into query after his newest win, nonetheless. Over the weekend, he rapidly submitted Patrick Gaudio with an armbar on the WNO 20 occasion after calling his personal shot and predicting the armbar stoppage (watch highlights).
The one drawback? Bellator veteran and jiu-jitsu black belt AJ Agazarm claims {that a} “credible supply” informed him of a contract between Ryan and Gaudio that assured Ryan to win through armbar, thus taking a little bit of the magic from his prediction.
“I simply discovered from a really credible supply that apparently the contract between Gordon Ryan and Patrick Gaudio for the WNO closing was setup for Gaudio to take the autumn through armbar,” Agazarm wrote. “I want I used to be joking right here, however I’m not.
“I’ll try to get a name with Gaudio or a duplicate of the contract to verify, but when it’s true this might be so unhealthy for all of the events concerned. I knew one thing appeared off with this one. I get making an attempt to hype up an athlete for views and numbers, however that is simply an all time shame. It’s going to begin turning into boxing.”
Ryan isn’t one to again down from an Web feud, however he appeared fairly content material to snort this one off. He posted a screenshot of Agazarm’s story, alongside the caption “I’ve made it. Rationalization expertise are robust with this one hahaha. 100% my haters discuss me to their therapists.”
Agazarm has a repute for trolling and usually wild conduct, so until he manages to unveil the alleged contract, that is most likely the tip of the story. Ryan is predicted to return to motion on Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023, in opposition to Lucas “Hulk” Barbosa.
