So, I’ve been following the whole Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu scene for a while now, and man, the rivalry between Gordon Ryan and Dillon Danis is something else. I remember back in 2017, I was glued to the screen watching the ADCC World Championship, and these two guys went at it. It was a real nail-biter, I tell ya.
I started digging into it, watching the match over and over again. They were at each other for a full fifteen minutes, pushing and pulling, trying to get the other to tap out. No one did, though. It ended up going to a decision, and Ryan took the win. Close one, for sure. Got me thinking about all those other rivalries in BJJ, but this one felt different.
What I found interesting was Ryan’s record. I mean, the guy’s a beast! He’s taken down some of the biggest names in the sport. The only time he ever tapped out was like, eight years ago, to Felipe Pena. And guess what? That loss sparked another big rivalry. Pena’s got a 2-1 record against Ryan, which is nuts. It just shows you how competitive this whole world is.
- Watched the 2017 ADCC World Championship match.
- Observed their intense 15-minute fight.
- Researched Gordon Ryan’s track record, noting his one submission loss to Felipe Pena.
- Noticed the ongoing rivalry between Ryan and Pena, with Pena holding a 2-1 record.
I even started looking into why Danis isn’t fighting in the UFC. Turns out, he’s still with Bellator. He’s got two fights left on his contract. Heard he hasn’t been fighting much lately because of some injuries and surgery. Tough break for him, I guess. I recall that I saw the news that Logan Paul wins via disqualification after Dillon Danis tries to put a headlock on him. What a mess!
My Takeaway
This whole thing just got me more hyped about BJJ. Seeing guys like Ryan and Danis go at it, the rivalries, the close matches… it’s just so intense and exciting. It makes you appreciate the skill and dedication these athletes have. I’m definitely gonna keep following these guys and see where it all goes. I might even try to catch a live match sometime. That would be awesome!
