It's Gordon Ryan's Time

Dirty White Belt Radio

In Gordon Ryan's first ADCC, he won gold in his weight class and silver in absolute. At just 22 years old, he's cemented his status among the best nogi grapplers in the world -- and now he's headed to the gi divisions. We talk with him about who the toughest person he's ever rolled with is; who the best non-Danaher leg lock guy is, in his opinion -- and how far ahead the DDS is of everyone else in playing that game; and the real reason he incorporated strength training into his routine. Plus, we get some intricate technical details on the finishes he used at ADCC. Thanks as always to our sponsors, US Grappling, Toro BJJ, and Cageside MMA!
