Gordon is the greatest BJJ practitioner alive today. That said he has zero charisma and needs a Craig Jones or Nicky trolling him to generate the interest from a larger audience.
😂😂 you are %1000000 correct ✅
Greatest steroid user!!
Time clock saved him from getting choked by Nicky Rod last time... so yeah
He's a dork who found his niche, his last post sounds like a crazy ex gf
Has he won any homosexual hugging without steroids?
He was seconds away from bringing Kevin Lee back into this
Interacial gay wrestling
Lmfaooo golden comment
Then we would all finally know where Kevin Lee fit in
Gordon is not the same anymore due to repetitive illness. Now , Nicky is a black belt. The previous matches Nicky was a blue belt. I still prefer to see Craig vs Gordon because they truly hate each other.
I don't think Craig hates anyone. but yeah.
I don't think Craig hates Gordon. The issue Gordon has is the fact Craig lives rent free in Gordon's head and Gordon just can't stand it. Craig has officially done more for the sport of jujitsu than Gordon and that just destroys Gordon to the core. Gordon has had the ability to do more for the sport and yet he has chose to do nothing unless it's to his benefit and he can't figure out why the majority don't like Gordon as a person and yet love Craig. When Gordon retires then that's it for him...when Craig retires he will have left a legacy that does more for the sport than what Gordon has and that doesn't make sense to Gordon. He can't wrap his head around how he can be the best and yet the person he hates has done more for the sport and is respected on a higher level than Gordon is.
Gordon Ryan seems to want to be loved by the fans and I wouldn't be surprised if it kills him to see Craig Jones be the more popular guy
@@MidgetPunterdidn't see your post before mine but you're bang on
@@belalbelal4614 gordon should do more steriods
"I know that I never lost." - Never change, Chael lol
The 'alley' is a big piece of this puzzle. Gordon listed his requirements for time/rules, but if he is open to having the match in the alley, it would change the game. Anyone who watched CJI somehow see that the alley/pit is needed for grappling to go mainstream
Ye should be sub only no time limit in the pit
100% the alley really opened the eyes of everyone of how much better high level competitive jui jitsu is in it. It really set the standard. Gordon should do it under CJI rules
@@shadowcoder887 When it comes to any of the B-team Bulls, Gordon prefers to watch.
its a testiment to how good his grappling is because his personality is so bad lol
I couldn't care less about it going more mainstream
Why is it every time I listen to Sonnens vids I am more confused in the the end of the vid 🤔
That’s why I’ll just look up what he’s talking about
genetics?
he just yaps at the top of his lungs without getting to the point that's why...
@@liukang85 yeah it’s annoying, im surprised anyone listens to him
I know y'all aren't gonna like this but it sounds like you guys don't know the relevant info on what chael is talking about. Secondly it sounds like you guys don't like him and I don't understand why you're here watching his videos???
It's getting to the point where GR needs them more than they need him. Craig has been on every podcast in the world twice since Gordon's last appearance and Nicky Rod isn't far behind in that regard. Craig's now the giver of millions and Nicky Rod is the highest PAID grappling athlete of all time. A rematch with Gabi or a UFC fighter would probably earn as much money as a GR match at this point
Not true, recency bias statement loser
Honestly I don’t think they need each other at this point. It’s all personal
yeah i agree, CJI is bringing a lot of new eyes to the sport.
I feel like GR could end up like demetrius johnson, with One FC.
@@Shortmansydrome Gordon is gonna get paid wherever he goes. CJ and Niki have established hisself. Apparently Gordon is into some cucky shit and thought his little brother was too so he got his girl to break him off some when he was like 17. Apparently lil bro wasn’t into it, and it’s come out amongst the group and now everyone’s got a mf opinion I guess. At this point I’m just glad to see jiu jitsu on a bigger stage these days.
Nah they need Ryan
Imagine Chael Sonnen doing a breakdown of News headlines of the week like a post-fight breakdown.
I’d watch it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏾
An entire video about how Gordon didn’t mention he beat them before? He claimed to beat them like 5x combined and posted like 4 clips of him submitting them at the end of the post…
Your eyes lied to you. Chael has spoken.
You suck
Yeh bro what are you trying to say ? Keep the negativity to yourself
@@Spannercrab77 it’s not negative to state that the premise of the video is just pure wrong.
He doesn’t get it guys
They are secretly all best friends, this plan was hatched in the blue basement by jon to bring bjj main stream and get them lots of money
I’m starting to think the same
If this is true, this is brilliant. But we will never know until BJJ because massive mainstream where the damage of this info wouldn't impact the sport at all.
Didn't expect the first words out of Chael's mouth to be Kamala HArris.
Craig won't fight Gordon because he knows it will piss gordon off hahaha
Nicky rod and Gordon haven’t fought in almost 2 years and even though they called it a win for Gordon. He got his foot broke and teeth smashed in a choke in that match. Which Gordon got a decision.
While Gordon is the best. He’s easily one of the most boring to watch ever. And no one. Not even super fans of Jiu Jitsu want to watch a no time limit match.
Plus Gordon is so roided out if his mind his gut is jacked up.
Craig is a Jiu Jitsu god at the moment, he doesn’t even have to compete anymore.
So you’re saying if someone is up 2-0 then they should give rematches until the opponent who is currently 0-2 eventually gets a win because of how long it’s been since said match’s? You say they as if it’s in dispute it’s not a fight to the death and if it was it would so widely change strategies that it would be completely incomparable. There’s no way you can say he’s one of the most boring to watch ever especially with how high his finish rate is on the best guys in the world. Me and my friends compete regularly in jiu jitsu not only do we want no time limit sub matches only we often discuss high level matches where someone is saved by the bell so to speak so you’re incorrect. If Gordon is juicing because of I’m assuming “visual evidence” then Nicky rod is greasing thanks to witness accounts of from three high level grapplers he’s faced. That evidence beats visual. I don’t even like Gordon that much I come from wrestling and the the rutolos are closer to my age by a wide margin however the points you brought up don’t really hold up to scrutiny
@@beastieking1just stop bro
@@glenshort6567 address the points I made and convince me
@@beastieking1 shush
@@beastieking1 I am definitely not reading your whole thesis over there. I definitely know you’re a Gordon Ryan fan now.
"i'm really good at remembering these things" .... also, Gordon's post had his record against both men in it, and you completely forget that bit.
chael reminds the world, wrestlers were once carney folk
Gordon didn’t lose because he let his arm get snapped by Craig and foot broken by Nicky instead of tapping. Come on Uncle Chael, get with it.
He won against both, once without an arm, 2nd time without an ankle. Cool story bro 😂😂😂😂😂
If his arm “snapped” how’d he choke Craig out after that? Cmon
@@kwasco well, he still has one other good arm and Gordon himself admitted Craig broke his arm.
@@Quicksand-y4s These BJJ guys say 'break' to mean 'hurt' he didnt literally snap a bone. he hurt his arm and foot the bones didnt snap. soft tissue damage
The toe hold was a snap you could hear something go. I think 2 things.
“I don’t know what my record is, other than that I never lost” 😂😂😂
Sonnen commentary pure gold lol
The sandhagen stray lmao
3 wins over Craig, 2 wins over Nicky.
Gordon doesn't tap. Nicky took his ankle and Craig had his arm. It's not a win... but like, it's a win. IMHO.
@@giansanjuan1074 Craig got his arm because in EBI Ovetime, he was given the arm. In the other two matches, he was submitted easily. And Gordon also strangled him after he escaped his arm-bar. I am no Craig Jones hater at all, but it is what it is.
@@baptist1644he was given the back not the arm. Just saying
Lol, Gordon Ryan literally states "I've beaten you both a total of 5x, including 4 Submissions, good luck on that." on that ig response, which is actually accompanied by the videos of him submitting them. What on earth is Chael the demigod taking about?
It looks like the whole DDS break up was setup to create this intriguing situation, and how it grows the sport. Only Danaher could come up with this lol
Love it! Keep telling us stories about grappling. Thank you uncle Chael
It's just a concept of inertia where Nicky Rod is on a blast and Gordon is injured and all fucked up with his digestion so people want to know if Nicky can beat Gordon when he is non-optimal, and he has momentum.
Anyone who knows, knows that Hugo could have eliminated Nicky Rod in CJI, had they faced off, Nicky has some severe weaknesses that Gordon can exploit, just like Hugo did in his win against Nicky Rod.
They honestly should do a combat jiu jitsu match
Uncle Chael, my Google machine is defaming you. It says your record is 29-15-1 ... Bit we all know you've never lost, cuz you're unbeatable 🤜
The last time gordan and Nicky fought, Gordon got his foot broken and his jaw almost popped off of his face before the escape time saved him. Nicky's getting dangerous and he's probably the only guy who take him out.
Funny. Felipe beat Gordon twice in a row, then Gordon went on for years begging for a rematch claiming Felipe was now scared. Is this not the same exact thing?
Nikki rod could have easily had a match with Gordon this year the weird part is B-Team has gone quiet which is never happened before
@@JacobsNews they’ve gone quiet? How so
No, Gordon went on an undefeated streak beating a who’s who over the years. Nicky Rod loses as much as he wins. He doesn’t deserve a rematch yet. Maybe in a few years?
I think Gordon at his worst still beats Nicky every time. I don’t see Nicky passing his guard. I think it would be hard to get an actual choke on Gordon (not a face smash like in the fight pass match), and Nicky has a near zero percent chance of getting his back.
Nicky just doesn’t have a clear path to finish the match, and Gordon has 1000 ways to finish it.
I don’t think they need to have another match, but if they did I would love to see it and would predict Gordon winning yet again.
We also forgot victor hugo beat nicky rod maybe a few matches back but nicky rod is constantly getting better is training 3 times a day i would imagine and gorden has been hit and miss with stomach issues so maybe nicky rod could pull it off this next go around
Wasn't a fan of watching jiu-jitsu but seeing craig jones on every podcast possible I've got interested he's cool AF lol also B team
Bteam sucks other than Craig. If he’s not in their vids they’re unwatchable.
Wrong, Gordon did address their previous matches.In Gordon’s response the tagged videos were every time he’s subbed Nicky and Craig.
Uncle Chael definitely didn’t read the post cuz Gordon definitely reminded everyone lol
Juxtaposing Sandhagen into politics 🏆😭
you don't know what that word means
Gordon barely escaped his match with Nicky which I think needs to be taken into account even tho did win it was a very very close one same as Craig’s matches. Massively entertaining and would be a super fight to see him go against both or one of these guys!
This morning started with a suggested video where Gordon was explaining how he swept ADCC…AGAIN. Then I watch this video and see all these comments about how Nicky is living rent free in Gordon’s head. Then the next video suggested is Nicky vs Gabi.
In other words, while Gordon is sweeping the board, Nicky is literally grappling women. And posting it thru B Team account.
And you expect me to believe that Nicky is living rent free?
C’MON MAN!
I have no idea what the hell Sonnens just rambled about, but I am excited for something…
I would love to see how Gordan Ryan would do in the UFC, real fights. He is great at what he does.
Gordon is a self admitted steroid user. He is ineligible to fight in the UFC.
He would be terrible. He's too slow and unathletic to get far.
It would not be possible, UFC don’t allow steroid use.
@@Frank2489😂😂😂 UFC doesn't allow steroids😂 only if you live in Dagestan where they can't test you
@@Frank2489😂😂😂 UFC doesn't allow steroids😂 only if you live in Dagestan where they can't test you
I take GR over NR 10:10 times.
Nicky is 0-2 vs Gordon and Craig is 0-3 vs Gordon. Gordon posted each loss on his IG after his rules he offered.
Craig is the funniest BJJ out there. The interview with Gabi killed me. She won me over too...
Just not an accurate telling of their competitive history. Gordon has trained 3x longer. Their first match was a quick finish and clear mismatch. But their second match? Nicky accepted it as a late fill in replacement with 3 days notice, goes 20 minutes and was never in trouble. At the least, a lot of fans think he won the match. And now it’s 2 years later. This isn’t like “oh Gordon has crushed an equally trained peer 5 times”. This is a “one guy is definitely closing the gap and has maybe closed said gap”
He did mention his wins though. His post was literally attached to clips of him beating both Craig and Nicky.
Do you do this on the fly?? It's amazing how you tie scenarios together....it almost genius category.
The geni levels go Chael, Einstein, then everyone else
Ive never watched ADCC. Seen Submission Underground quite a bit. I watched every minute of CJI and the story leading up to it. I don't know who Nicky Rod is but I know I need to see Nicky Rod vs whoever this Gordon Ryan is!
I hate when chale just lies. Saying Gordon didn't remind us in his response that he's beatin both of them is wrong. Along with the full call out post he posted clips of every one of his matches with them
If yiu hate when Chael lies why do you watch his videos? 😂
They're a combined 0-5 and both have been subbed against Gordon Ryan right? This is their best opportunity to get a win after he has been inactive. The callouts make sense but I doubt either win no time limit sub only.
Andre Galvao bro. Legendary grapplers, coach of champions.
Chael looks like a Navy seal mixed with Jeffrey Dahmer 😂
Ummm. When Gordon responded it was literally few videos of him beating Craig and Nicky rod
The no gi goat can’t beat a tummy ache
Says the clown
@@cpfarms8994 😂
And no grappler in the world can beat him with the tummy ache.
Braindead
And not a single other person can beat him, even with the tummy ache. Crazy isnt it?
I dont think Nicky deserves a rematch given all the recent Ls from Gordon. On the other hand Craig is worthy of a shot 100%. I feel Craig let Gordon go out of the arm bar instead of breaking it in their last EBI match.
Craig vs Gordon would be a fight we all want to see. UFC could arange fight as neutral side.
You don’t have to have an opinion on everything, Uncle Chael. Bless your heart. Sit this one out.
I agree man, I liked Chael better before he started all this. IMO the bad guy was just fine and awesome the way he was when he talked during the buildup to fights and post fight interviews asserting his still undefeated streak. Was much better letting his fights do the talking. He is t equipped for deep thought and analysis. Now his ignorance has carried over way too far into the “mainstream” and instead of a more satirical vibe he just looks dumb.
@@Blackjackdimehe's talking about BJJ as a black belt who has put on BJJ events. And since when is talking about BJJ more mainstream than talking about UFC?
Do a no time limit sub only match… whoever taps is the best.
Only fight I'm interested in is mason fowler vs gordon ryan.....
Hahaha why Gordon would wax mason 😂
@@raymondbaldonado3563well its one of the few people gordon has not competed with so i would personally like to see it.
Wtf ? 😂
Who?
They are all teammates, they know who is going to win.
Chael would easily hand Ryan his lunch in any rule set. Undefeated.
They all need eachother, so this game has to be played the fans demand it.
A healthy Gordon would beat both of them if people are being objective. The question is whether or not he can actually get healthy enough and stay that way if not, then he’s not gonna accept against Nicky Rod.
I'm more interested in seeing Jones vs Ryan to be honest. That will be massive
Jones loses to guys like Sean Brady somehow and isn’t top3 in any division. He’s funny though
Right now Nicky rod wins, you can see Gordan in his match with pena at adcc he has not been training as much and his stomach issues are starting to take there toll
Yeah but Gordon did way better against Yuri then Nikki at Fight Pass even though they both won
I feel that if it was Nicky fighting Pena, Nicky would've been submitted. Pena was on fire at ADCC. Gordon beat him without a camp, and he tore his lcl in the beginning of the match. The next day, he dominated Yuri. Nicky is talented but nowhere near Gordon's level, IMO
@@davidkingyogato1097 Pena wouldn't beat Nicky yes Gordan is more skilled but Nicky reached a point in his skills where his athleticism gives him the edge, yea he beat Yuri easily but Yuri is an easier match up for him than Pena, Pena has always been a tricky match for Gordan and in his condition Nicky will be worse now
Yes gordon has already competed against nicky and craig, he was very close to being submitted in both matches. Both craig and nicky are much better grapplers now, gordon doesn't want anything to do with them especially nicky.
Craig Jones is a monumental level troll. Hot take: N-Rod vs Gordon Ryan is probably fake beef, they will fight twice and each win once and try to cash in on the rubber match.
Dumbest comment i read on the internet today. congratulations
The rumors circulating are it’s a very real beef. The B team guys keep hinting about Gordon being an actual cuck.
They have competed twice already.
I think in a karate combat pit Nicky gives Gordon real problems. That said, I think GR will never be in good enough health to do it. It matters not at all that Gordon beat Nicky before. Nicky had been training for four years when Gordon last beat him. His skill development has been more rapid.
Training in BJJ for 4 years. Anyone who's spent time in a jujitsu gym will know that high level wrestlers will beat BJJ guys right out the gate after starting if the BJJ guy does not have a good sub game. I on the other hand actually preferred to go against wrestlers that had no BJJ experience. Made them really easy to tap unlike someone's first day at any grappling or they were apprehensive and unwilling to engage.
This feels a lot like that guy at the horse races/in the casino, and has gone just enough up to go all in (on a bet he can't cover), and lose it all.
I'd prefer to see Craig v. Gordon first. This time though, if he wont tap, Craig should remember what Sensei Kresse taught him. 🥋🐍👊🏼
Gordon won't lose because he truly believes he is the best and he requires a rule set that takes away all of the advantages his competitors might have. There is no reason for Craig or Nick to compete against him. They are simply better people and lower themselves by attempting to dethrone Gordon. If you don't know the reason for the breakup of DDS look it up and have your mind shifted 🤯
Why would you think they're better people they're all the same people😂 they were all best friends until a few months ago.
Chael..” I don’t know things.… I’m normal” 😂
Great point although, there isnt a man alive that could withstand Chael P. Sonnens takedown.
Gordan did mention he already beat them both three times
$1M at stake not $2M. Cmon dude. Winner gets $1M , the fact that he saves $1M is irrelevant
Chill a lot of these new fans need to be reminded about the fact that rankings don’t matter
good afternoon chael. i dont know who your talking about but have a blessed day
He won against Craig because he didn’t tap and got his arm popped. He won against Nicky Rod because he didn’t tap and got his foot popped. Since then Nicky has been calling him out and nothing but crickets. He’s afraid of Nicky especially after his performance at CJI.
Rulling should be like sakuraba vs royce in pride 😂😂
Gordon at 100% would DESTROY Craig Rodrigues one after the other, same night! Low blows by Craig Rodrigues to troll Gordon so much when they know he’s not at 100%! Shows their true character!
Gordon is juiced to the tits. Please.
Nick Rod passed a steroids test on a days notice. Gordon however is openly on steroids. Its literally a guy with less BJJ training and not on steroids, vs another guy who is on all the steroids.
Gordon has significant stomach issues due to the amount of antibiotics he ingested while training in NYC. Gordon's gut biom is a mess and it's very hard to train when feeling ill.
5:34 Inglourious Basterds
Been waiting for this all day
This sport needs Craig Jones. Whether he's put on the mat or behind as mic, he needs to be out there. By God, I even enjoyed the Gzbby Garcia match. Gordon Ryan needs someone from the WWE to coach him on faking personality.
Didn't Gordon injure his LCL in his last match? His last match where he looked more human than he ever has? I feel like he WAS the greatest but others have evolved more than he has in recent years. The only way to know if Gordon is STILL the greatest is IF he competes against Nicky Rod and others in that weight class at that level.
Gordon only 'won' the last match against Nicky because he knew how to work the rule set - in actuality he was injured and Nicky was not - so I don't feel like it was a genuine victory according to the true intent of combat sports.
Nicky has improved since then. You can't continue to give someone a ranking of the greatest current grappler - if they are not currently competing against the best. I'd love to see CJ compete against Gordon because I think his style is quite unexpected at times but I can see that he might not want to live the lifestyle of a competitive athlete anymore.
Saying the match happened is totally devoid of context. Match never happened at black belt, and that’s why it needs to happen. Gordon cucks out by making stipulations. Think about this, Nicky isn’t using PEDs, Gordon is, now add the belt differences and you can understand why this is a totally different contest. Even Gordon knows it…
Yea, but belts are fake and kinda gay.
Nicky is using PEDs, he just has much better genetics
lol “ Nicky isn’t using peds “.
Nicky isn't getting caught doing peds
@@maseywat let me know how many clean tests Gordon has. I base my judgement on facts which Nicky has a clean random test. Gordon’s scared, it’s that simple. It’s really unfortunate the glass house he has built himself, would be great to see him actually be a part of the community instead of directing it…
They need Gordon a lot more than Gordon needs them. 😊
Gordon Ryan is well known but grappling and jiu jitsu tournaments don’t do numbers like the UFC….right? Like you said, he’s done this before so perhaps the call outs don’t stop til somebody beats him again. Money and ok I guess….🙃
Uncle chael working overtime to PR for Gordon 🤣🤣

Another good video!
I wanna see Gordon just submit Nicky Rod in about 5 minutes, then go & choke Craig's unearned arrogance right out of him. These guys pretend THEY are the King.
Let’s see Gordo get down without any PED’s. He’d get his ass whooped.
I wonder what would happen if Ryan got elbowed several times in the face while playing guard
What makes GR "cool", is the Joe Rogan part
any chatters in the chat? 4:47 sez who? 🤣💀🤣💀
Gotta remember gordan won on points but nicky broke gordons foot so who really won is the question?
Also nickky wasnt even a blackbelt yet he was still coming up well gorden was established
We need to see Gordon and Nicky again as it was close in their last match... and Nicky looks like he is continuing to get more physically developed. I don't know if anyone soon will be able to dethrone Gordon. It is would be nice to see Gordon compete more, if possible. Mason and any other top grapplers are welcome too.
Sometimes it's just like hey....whoah bud
